This is something i just found out about and am wondering how much Money these guys are costing us .They are Getting funds from somewhere but for what,I have never heard of a European Political Party a Normal one yes.

A European political party is a type of political party organization operating transnationally in Europe. The EU recognizes such organizations and provides them with funding. According to the Treaty of Maastricht, political parties at European level are important as a factor for integration within the Union. They contribute to forming a European awareness and to expressing the political will of the citizens of the Union. European political parties are different from the Groups in the European Parliament; however, they are often affiliated with these Groups (which may be alliances of more than one European political party, or possibly alliances between parties and nominally independents).

Presently some European political parties that are eligible for European Parliament funding have been created, based on Europe-wide party alliances.

Some of them are already EurActors:
