Not much really, unless the EU takes a big turn to the left. Which is unfortunately not something that's likely to happen anytime soon.

The left? The authoritarian politicians pushing this legislation in the EU are more leftist than right.

They're usually liberals, so right wing but they don't specifically hate homosexuals.

> They're usually liberals

The irony.

Aside from that I also thought EU is more left than right wing right now. Nothing what they try to push this term of office seems right wing to me.

No? Kaja Kallas and Ursula VDL are trying to push war with Russia…

The EU is definitely more right than left after the last election. The Commission in particular, though it seems they're always more right-wing than the Parliament. As we speak they're watering down all sorts of regulations beneficial to the common citizen but inconvenient to the corporations, and the "moderate" right is now openly threatening to ally, or downright allying, with the far right in various right-wing matters in order to get them passed.

Centrists, I'd say. Same as the people pushing it in the UK.

The left, the anti-immigration parties and really, any party which isn't wholly 'let's do the same as we've always had' probably imagine that this would be used to their disadvantage somehow.

They’re center-right.
