Elections to the European Parliament have since they were introduced in 1979 been, as scholars define it, a “second-order” election. They are typically as such characterized through the losses for national government parties, surge of smaller parties, low interest from the public in general and most of all low levels of voter participation.

Vi blir allt bättre på att sopsortera och ta hand om vårt avfall, men kan det vara så att vi till och med har blivit för bra på det? För att hushålla med jordens resurser på ett smart och hållbart sätt måste vi börja återanvända saker mer och dela dem med varandra. I en cirkulär ekonomi gör man just detta. Ett klassiskt cirkulär ekonomiskt funktionstänk är att man behöver hålet och inte borren, ocHuman activity in the form of unnecessary consumption is one of the reasons to why we have come to experience climate change.
