But some of the MEPs say they would leave the Parliament only if they get into a ruling majority. The MEPs include social democrats Vilija Blinkevičiūtė and Zigmantas Balčytis, leader of the Labor Party Viktor Uspaskich as well as Valdemar Tomaševski, chairman of the Electoral Action of Poles in Lithuania.
"Getting into the Seimas is not the key thing. We want to win a landslide majority so that we could form a ruling majority and implement the Labor Party's program. If I stay in the opposition, so what's the point for me to sit there, it's better to be in the EP," Uspaskich said.
"My decision will depend on who will be forming the new government," Tomaševski said.
Meanwhile Rolandas Paksas, leader of the Order and Justice Party, says he would come back to Lithuania if elected. But the ex-Lithuanian president removed from office by impeachment in 2004 is yet to hear the Constitution Court's ruling as to whether he can run for parliament.
