SOUNDBITE (English), Margrethe VESTAGER, ALDE lead candidate as member of Team Europe, <p>Its election day, it's the best day for democracy , because here voters are in power. Voting is power. This is a great day, there is a buzz in the air, so it's a very good day.</p>

SOUNDBITE (English), Margrethe VESTAGER, <p>First of all of course climate and environment, because we need action, a lot has been, prepared by the parliament who was there, now for the new parliament to make sure that things happens , secondly that we are getting control of technology , because we ain't seen nothing yet, it's still coming, it's an industrial revolution, and thirdly of course our societies, rule of law, freedom of the press - that one you read with the morning coffee - gender balancing, and equality.</p>

SOUNDBITE (English), Margrethe VESTAGER, In my opinion , the 1st thing to do for the European Commission, will be  of course to show that we change by having a gender balanced commission, because I think that if we as Europeans can mirror ourselves in who works for us, I think we will be closer to exactly that, and I think we need to get closer to those who make the rules.
