Thierry Baudet has a French name and is of Wallonian ancestry, and interestingly just like Geert Wilders has some Indonesian roots as well

ah apparently its just independents, not a real group:

quote:

Independent MEPs that are not in a Group are categorised as "Non-Inscrits"

Why Volt isnt in that group with their one seat, who knows?

technically the group with communists is GUE/NGL, NI just means Non-Inscrit, people who don't belong with a european political group (Independents). Far left communists don't want to join the Left wing group, so they're classified as independents, and since most of them are fascists, they're on the right.

I think it's mostly the Greek Communist Party that doesn't want to join the gue/ngl.

PAN successfully making the leap from "animal party" to "environment party" will make or break them.so far they are definitely eating the greens/ecology partys lunch.

Also lol that 70% of the population just didn't bother to show up, it wasn't even a great beach day.healthy democracy.

That's really cool. My mom said she understands how hosed the climate is and how important her grandchildren are to her, then promptly voted PS because Greens want to tax her car. :thumbsup:

People severely underestimated a party whose pitch on mass media was based on "hey, don't pollute where we get our food, specially on island regions what the hell".

the republicans also hosed up lamentably

its a weird mixture of emotions

i'm glad le pen did worse than expected, i'm extactic that the republicans hosed up so bad they ended in fourth, i'm confused at the people still voting for the ps, i'm very sad for the pcf, i'm resentful towards lfi for not doing alliances.

greens i'm like ambivalent towards, like they're libs, but I feel like most people don't know that vote for them because they're concerned about the environnment? so thats not too bad a sentiment at least

Come on, 30 degrees out, if it weren't for the weirdly strong wind currents it would have been unbearable. Otherwise a pretty nice beach day.
