As someone who is in the process of immigrating to the EU (will be allowed to vote next cycle), can I get a layman's summary of the parties and what they stand for? Thanks!

Afaik there is only one pan European party and that would be Volt.

I'd like to be able to vote for pan-european parties, but voting for Volt only works in very large constituencies (such as Germany). In most other places it likely reduces the chance of getting pro-european MEPs who might consider implementing such an option. What other strategies can help ?

I would say, that since Volt has a party in nearly all European country, supporting them in your home country would be a good strategy?

OK, but what is a brief platform?

Their main point is that they want to enable true pan-European parties 😅
