TAKE A LOOK-EU elections - the campaign so far

More than 400 million Europeans are eligible to vote in European Parliament elections between May 23-26 in one of the world's biggest exercises in democracy.

The outcome will shape policy-making and leadership of the EU assembly and other Brussels institutions for the next five years, and in many cases feed into the domestic politics of the 28 member states -- which, for the time being at least, include Britain. Anti-establishment, eurosceptic parties around the bloc see this election as a potentially defining moment and hope a strong showing will bolster their efforts to slow European integration and return more power to national capitals.
