No, ConsumerChamps.eu is a platform that provides information on European Parliament candidates based on their responses to a survey regarding their stance on consumer-oriented policies. The rankings and information presented on this website are solely intended to serve as a resource for voters seeking insights into candidates’ positions on consumer issues.

It is important to note that ConsumerChamps.eu does not endorse, support, or oppose any specific candidate, political party, or their views. The rankings are generated based on the candidates’ self-reported responses to the survey, and ConsumerChamps.eu does not independently verify the accuracy or authenticity of the information provided by the candidates.

Consumers are encouraged to thoroughly research and evaluate candidates based on their individual beliefs, policies, and overall suitability for public office. The rankings on ConsumerChamps.eu should be considered as one of many factors in making an informed decision during the electoral process.

This page presents the survey questions, along with detailed explanations for each answer and the corresponding points assigned. Our objective is to enhance clarity for both candidates and voters by elucidating why the chosen answers align most closely with consumer choice and freedom in the European Union. We aim to underscore the benefits of policies in harmony with these answers for consumers. The methodology involved a straightforward multiple-choice survey addressing key concerns for European consumers, including inflation, mobility costs, innovation, food supply sustainability, consumer freedom, harm reduction policies, digital freedom, and trade.

Regrettably, due to the substantial number of candidates in the 2024 EU Parliament election, responses had to be standardized, and candidates were unable to provide custom answers in an open-question format. Nonetheless, we incorporated an open-field option post-survey, allowing candidates to share comments or quotes about their responses, which are accessible on this website. For inquiries about our methodology or answers, please use the form provided at the page’s end.
