Europe, Boring Until it's Not

[BjornP]

Salvini's new " European Alliance of People and Nations", a right-wing Euroskeptic EU-group is looking off to a fair start, Europe-wide. The group includes Italy government's Lega, Le Pen's re-formed party, the Danish People's party, and a few others.

Denmark, otoh, just opted to boost the ALDE group by giving most of the designated 14 seats to the Liberal Party. Danish People's Party bombed, like they're projected to do in the upcomin national elections. The supposed Euroskeptic party got caught with their long-term representive in the EUP misusing EU funds. The most explicitly Exit-EU party, the "Popular Movement against EU", a cross-political (though mostly leftists) movement, did not get enough votes to win any seats. Which I think is a first since their creation in 1972. This means that we don't really have any Exiters represented in the EU parliament anymore. Danish People's Party is now more of a reformist party. Right after Brexit, the far-left Socialist party "Unity List" declared that a DExit is not their goal in any foreseeable future, anymore. They've been pretty hardline about that for decades, though.

Last EUP elections:

Farage's group: 42/751 seats
ALDE (liberal group): 68/751 "
EPP (Conservatives+Christian Democrats): 217/751
S&D (Social Democrats): 190/751

Really not seeing the "Farage is hugely, bigly important in the EU nauw!" anywhere... Nationalism has been strengthened in the EUP, but that's got very little to do with Farage.

Who cares about your shitty confederation? At least it looks like England got off that sinking ship.

Holy shit. Nationalists are sweeping a lot of these countries.

Holy shit. Nationalists are sweeping a lot of these countries.

Liberal Democrats are big winners tonight.
They're going to do well in the general election.
Tories and Labour both lost ground.

Brexit party and UKIP still have zero MPs.

Greens get bigger share of the vote than the Conservatives.

[Speaker to Animals]

Brexit party and UKIP still have zero MPs.

Oh, you were voting for the UK Parliament today too?

Exactly.
37% turnout in EU elections. The results are meaningless in terms of the UK Parliament.

Member a few years ago, after BREXIT when they said it was just one vote, people really didn't feel that way, it was a fluke.

Well, the fluke is having babies all over Europe. Looks like a grassroots movement is forming to toss the globalists out. We'll see it if the Global Elites can do a late term abortion.
