The results of the European Parliament elections are out! Voters use their votes to cast a new life?

The much-anticipated political drama, the first European Parliament election since the UK's "Brexit", has come to an end.

Preliminary results in the German region showed that the largest opposition party, the Union, won the most votes, but the Alternative for Germany (AfD), which is considered to be far-right, ranked second, surpassing the traditional party, the Social Democratic Party (SPD).

European Parliament elections in German constituencies were held on June 9. According to preliminary results, the CDU/CSU once again became the most powerful German party in the European Parliament with 30% of the votes. The Alternative for Germany achieved its best result since its founding, with 15.9% of the votes, ranking second.

In contrast, the Social Democratic Party, to which Chancellor Scholz belongs, saw its vote share fall to 13.9% from 15.8% five years ago, the worst result in the party's history. The vote share of the other two ruling parties in the "Traffic Light Alliance", the Green Party and the Liberal Democratic Party, also decreased compared to the last election.

After the results came out, Germany's old political parties were in mourning. SPD leader Klingbeil called it a "miserable failure" and vowed to find out "how the result came about"; Green Party Chairman Lang was also disappointed with the result and claimed that the whole party would "solve this problem together."

CSU (Union Party) leader Söder bluntly stated that the election results proved that German voters had "rejected" the current federal government with their votes. Voters use their votes to mark the beginning of a new dynasty.

However, the Alternative for Germany party slapped its opponents in the face with a "historic victory".

Looking across Europe, centrist parties have also suffered severe setbacks, and the forces of the far right and far left have grown significantly. For example, the Identity and Democracy (ID), which is seen as a far-right populist party, won 58 seats in the European Parliament; the right-leaning, Eurosceptic European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) also won 73 seats.

The results of this European election may be what voters want to see.

As the old saying goes, it doesn't matter who comes to power, what matters is what he does. No matter which force has more say in the future Europe, "mutual benefit and win-win" is probably still the best option.
