lpv:translated text	"Madam President, while the Duff report acknowledges and faces the fact that to the majority of European citizens the institutions of the European Union – including the European Parliament – are uninteresting and obscure, it increases the chaos instead of providing a solution. It deals with election systems, mathematics and internal bargaining barely understandable to the average person. The point is that these European parties, running under various names and consuming a vast proportion of Parliament’s budget – yet essentially all globalist, neoliberal and intent on eliminating nation states – have suddenly started a fervent reformation of their election laws to prevent patriotic and anti-centralist forces from being able to run, or to make sure that they run only with great difficulty in the 2014 European Parliamentary elections. The biggest flaw of the report is that, while leaving the current system, which does not even guarantee the proportionate representation of individual states, unchanged, it expands it with a transnational list. This means that average citizens – who are voting in increasingly smaller numbers during successive election cycles because they barely understand or see the value of the European Parliament and barely follow its activities – can also vote for an international list, the so-called European Parties. Ladies and gentlemen, do you really believe that in 2014 German, UK or Hungarian voters will vote for a Spanish, French or Finnish individual about whom they know next to nothing and who is unaware of their problems? Do you believe that it is possible to personally campaign in 27 countries with close to 500 million Europeans? It is almost certain that people will be more confused than ever, and even more citizens will avoid European elections like the plague."@en1
