Frosch said: “In Austria, and also in Germany a process has been happening which can lead younger people both to the left and to the right, in radical terms. Youth are moving away from the center. This means that here in Estonia, there is no point trying to find any party preferences. This wouldn’t have any use. In Austria, it is clear that there has been a shift among young people towards the right, on the electoral scale,” in other words in Frosch’s view the party set up in Estonia would not be able to reflect such a shift, were it to happen.
Estonia has three types of direct elections: To the Riigikogu, every four years, to local municipalities every four years, and EU elections every five years.
Of these, municipal elections have the widest franchise since residents, as well as citizens, of Estonia, may vote.
The next election is to the municipalities, in October 2025.
