Europe’s socialists will come out on top at the European elections in just over three months, according to a new study.<br /><br />A Pollwatch survey says they’ll beat the centre-right conservatives by 20 seats.<br /><br />Its last such opinion poll five years ago had an accuracy rate of 90 percent.<br /><br />One of the co-authors of the forecast told euronews which new trends will emerge.<br /><br />Professor Simon Hix, London School of Economics, said: “What is happening on the right is that the mainstream centre-right parties are losing votes to the radical right. And you see that in a lot of countries across Europe, and that is explaining why the EPP are going to do badly in these upcoming elections.”<br /><br />European Parliament officials are pulling out all the stops to get more people to vote. They reckon a new promo film will help.<br /><br />But some say it will take more than a snappy video; turnout has dropped at every European election since 1979.
