The European Union goes to the polls from Thursday through to Sunday this week in elections in which right and far-right parties are widely expected to make gains.
One of the first decisions of the new assembly will be to elect the president of the parliament, a vote which requires an absolute majority.
MEPs will then take part in drafting EU laws, debating, amending, and negotiating proposals made by the commission and the EU Council.
