Kitty Kat Posted April 29 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europe Elects is a good website for projections and news and Wikipedia will explain the parties. https://europeelects.eu/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Thursday at 11:09 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 11:09 PM Voting in the first of the EU's member states, the Netherlands, has closed.

Virgos Groove Posted Thursday at 11:15 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:15 PM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodflowers. Posted Sunday at 02:46 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:46 PM 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
