At the European level, while he was a member of the Free voters he was also technically a member of the European Democratic Party,[4] however he has always remained affiliated with the European Christian Political Movement and sat with the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group in the European Parliament.[5][6]

He lost his seat in the 2019 European Parliament election after Bündnis C failed to win enough votes to entitle them to a seat.
