Really? What's on the ballot in your country? If it is the party, then you vote for the party and with this you vote parliamentarians on the list into the european parliament. I get that the media reporting muddled this process, because frontrunners make for a more interesting coverage, but that is not how it works at all.
As far as I can remember the ballot states people first and foremost, only stating party as a somewhat small addition below that person's name. So it looks a lot like you are voting for individuals rather than the party. Media coverage also didn't help and they mentioned how it is perceived differently in all other EU countries that got to vote as well.
