According to a post-electoral survey on voter motivation, conducted by TNS Opinion for the European Parliament, choosing the future President of the European Commission only motivated 5% of voters in the May 2014 elections. Interest was above average in Luxembourg and Germany, the home countries of the two main candidates for the European Commission presidency, Jean-Claude Juncker and Martin Schulz, reaching 10% in both countries. In Austria, 12% of those surveyed said the presidential race was at least a part of their motivation to vote. In France the figure was 5%, equal to the European average, while in the United Kingdom, it was only 1%. |
