If the European Parliament elections took place next Sunday, Lithuanian voters would deputize most representatives of the Social Democratic Party (support of 29,3 percent ensuring 3 seats in the EP) to work in the EU institutions. The second place would go to 'Order and Justice' party (19,3%, 2 seats), third - to the Conservatives (13,5%, 2 seats). Such trends are revealed by the survey carried out by the public opinion company 'Vilmorus',

The Labour Party (9,9%) and the Electoral Action of Poles in Lithuania (5%) as well as the Greens Party (5%) would also exceed the 5% electoral threshold. The Lithuanian Peasant and Green Party was supported by 4,8% of voters. The Greens Party would exceed the 5% electoral threshold for the first time ever.

A significant increase of popularity of Electoral Action of Poles in Lithuania is noted. Most polls carried out by 'Vilmorus' indicated a 1-2-percent support for the EAPL, while the actual support was 6% (last elections to the Lithuanian Republic Seimas).

Recent polls reveal that about 5% of the voters supported the party. This trend leads to the conclusion that at present the actual support for the EAPL, headed by Valdemar Tomaševski, is in double figures; therefore we cannot eliminate the possibility of Valdemar Tomaševski taking part in the second round of the presidential elections and of EAPL getting two seats in the European Parliament.

Based on the survey conducted by 'Vilmorus' and published on lrytas.lt
