Dear colllegues,

2
00:00:02,816 --> 00:00:06,144
I'm speaking from Jokkmokk, north of the polar circle.

3
00:00:06,656 --> 00:00:12,288
I'm really here campaining about mining policy but I want to talk with you about transnational lists.

4
00:00:13,312 --> 00:00:15,616
The countries of the EU are different

5
00:00:15,872 --> 00:00:17,664
We have different economic interests,

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,224
different values, different societies

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,808
and thus we favor different policies.

8
00:00:24,064 --> 00:00:28,672
The basic purpose of transnational lists

9
00:00:28,928 --> 00:00:30,464
is to force the parties of the member states

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:36,864
to align their policies with whatever policy happens to be the majority view of their

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,400
European party.

12
00:00:38,912 --> 00:00:41,216
This will increase the distance

13
00:00:41,472 --> 00:00:43,008
between MEP's

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,544
and the citizens

15
00:00:45,056 --> 00:00:47,872
and create a gap that could lead to

16
00:00:48,384 --> 00:00:51,456
political fragmentation and will be

17
00:00:51,712 --> 00:00:53,248
exploited by populists.

18
00:00:54,528 --> 00:00:57,344
If you care about the Democracy of the EU

19
00:00:57,856 --> 00:00:58,368
Join me

20
00:00:58,624 --> 00:00:59,999
in opposing transnational lists.

21
00:01:00,004 --> 00:01:02,111
Thank you.
