Kitty Kat Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Hello everyone! I've wanted to make a thread for the politics of the European Parliament, as well as Europe at large for a while now. With the European Parliament elections a little over a month away, from 6-9 June 2024, now is an ideal time to open the thread for full news, discussion, and debate. All 720 seats of the European Parliament are up for election. The current make-up of the Parliament is: EPP - 187 seats S&D - 148 seats Renew - 97 seats Greens/EFA - 67 seats ID - 76 seats ECR - 62 seats The Left - 40 seats 1

Velvet Night Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Would be nice if ID do lose seats. The more, the better.

welham Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Any decent resources that explain the parties, their positions, and electoral projections for non-Europeans?

Politico.eu has some great resources including in-depth analyses and a huge section dedicated to the election. And as already mentioned by somebody else, Europe Elects provides seat projections and other interesting data and also collects polls for every single country.
Kitty Kat Posted May 9 Author Posted May 9 North Macedonia had elections yesterday for the Parliament and the Presidency. The centre-right VMRO party won both, with the country electing its first ever female President.
Anthinos Posted May 18 Posted May 18 I have just voted (for the Greens). I hope the right-wing parties don't become too strong.
Kitty Kat Posted June 6 Author Posted June 6 Voting in the first of the EU's member states, the Netherlands, has closed. Voting results cannot be officially revealed until the polls close in the final E.U. member state (Italy), but we can still have exit polls:
Virgos Groove Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Still haven't decided whether to vote for the Communists or Bloco (both GUE/NGL). Hoping for a far-right defeat, but I know it won't happen. This continent is doomed.
Kitty Kat Posted June 6 Author Posted June 6 Have to vote tomorrow (Friday) myself. I know the parties I want to vote for, just not sure what order I'd want to rank them in.
Bloodflowers. Posted June 9 Posted June 9 Just got home from voting! The way it was so empty at my voting station compared to other elections in Croatia the only voters at the time when I arrived was another gay and a lesbian (you could tell both were LGBT just by looking at them kskskskksksks) Spoiler I guess left-wing sweep confirmed? 1
SlowGinFizzzz Posted June 9 Posted June 9 Well, this is certainly going to be an... interesting evening. 1
John Slayne Posted June 9 Posted June 9 the unofficial results from Slovakia are a mess. basically all genocide supporters and more than half of them being far-right lunatics
