Hot topics in the European election

[Tintrlvr]

My distinct impression is that no one really votes on pan-European issues in EU elections, unless you consider UK voters treating it like a referendum on Brexit to be voting on a pan-European issue. Everyone else is voting based on local issues and which parties are ascendant/descendant locally (which may include issues that bleed into the international arena, like migration, but are fundamentally based on concerns at the national and not EU-wide level).
