Young people breaking green isn't a big surprise, they're the ones who will have to deal with the consequences of climate change.

Yeah, black is traditionally the CDU colour. Almost half of their voters are 70+ years of age.

And yeah, at least in Germany the threat of climate change was absolutely a major factor:


"What was the most important factor in your decision?"
- Climate and environment protection
- Social security
- Peacekeeping
- Immigration

if someone is in the bottom 10%~ of a guillotine

The Greens got 42% of the under 25 voters in Dublin in Ireland in our local elections. Environmental concerns are definitely huge with young people now.

They were on 18% overall in the city, amongst all voters, in the local elections too - the #1 party in support.

Exit polls suggest their MEP candidate will get around 25% of the vote, also the largest vote share.

All pretty promising I think. Hopefully the rest of Europe has a green surge too.

Yeah... overall right still gets about 30%+ depending on what you consider the "Centrists" (haha they're right obv).

I'd have liked the PCF to get some representation but I suppose that's asking too much.

Unsurprisingly the Romanian embassies are understaffed and average queues in at least Rome and Berlin (that I know of from mates) are 5 to 7 hours. They're refusing to keep them open past closing, last I've heard. They don't allow postal votes. It's also combined with a referendum on the new corruption laws designed by the PSD to neuter anti-corruption enforcement. And they've radically changed referendum quotas to make it harder to pass them

Finland's results are, well, smaller in scale. Greens are getting one extra MEP at the expense of Center Party, who are suffering the results of their govenrment term, but otherwise no changes, but half of the MEPs are new ones.

It's the same story for Rumanian expats in Denmark. Only 3 polling booths at the embassy.

Belgium isn't all Flanders and in the rest of the country a green wave seems to have become a reality (as far as we can tell from exit polls at least, full results are late because of computer issues)

I kinda hoped for even better results for the workers party and ecolo after the city elections last year, but I'll take what I can get.

Anecdotically and infuriatingly, I've spoken to quite a few voters who bought in De Wevers' line about a left wing victory in the French speaking parts of Belgium meaning a partition of the country and didn't vote quite as left as they'd have preferred.

You know ... if CD&V truly is a centrist party, it should be as comfortable working with the left as with the right ... which would make this a possiblity:




it is never ever ever going to happen because "centrism". But imagine living in that mirror universe.

(percentages from when 90% of votes were counted)

Lowest number is number of MEP:s each party gets:

Party name translations:
(KOK) Kokoomus, City Right-wing party
(VIHR) Vihreät, The Green party
(SDP) Sosiaalidemokraatit, Leftish Social Democratic party.
(PS) Perussuomalaiset, Nationalist Finnish party.
(KESK) Keskusta, Rural Right-wing party
(VAS) Vasemmistoliitto, Liberal Left-wing party
(RKP) Right-wing Swedish Minority party
(KD) Kristillisdemokraatit, Christian Revivalist party.

Other factoids from Finland.

We will get one more MEP after the brexit, which is going to the Green party.

Majority of the elected will be women (7+1 vs 6). For the first time.

In Spain, postal vote from abroad has been made all but impossible.

It was one of the few moments of bipartisanship in two legislatures marked by constant attacks and criticism from the conservative opposition towards the centrist socialist party.

(The other being Budget balance being introduced in the Constitution, art. 135)

Ever since it was approved expat turnout has plummetted.

This election cycle every party made noises about changing that. It shall be seen by us.

I'd say vlaams belang got votes from all current previous governing parties, and maybe more from the forever-shrinking socialists.

That said, there's something very wrong with the % results on the vrt website - the flemish federal results tally up to 105%, which is a bit much.
