Europe’s Silent Majority

Daniel Gros, (2019), “Europe’s Silent Majority”, CEPS, 27 Μαϊου

A first key result, perhaps the most important one, of this election is that Europe’s silent majority has finally come out to vote. Opinion polls had shown for some time that confidence in the EU and its institutions had risen to sharply in recent years. But this needed to be validated by actual votes. This has now happened. Voter participation has increased by almost one fifth, reaching close to 50%. This is still below the level in most national elections, but considerably higher than that in most mid-term elections in the US.
