First projections of EU Parliament election results

62 projected seats for nazis... great job citizens, great job -.-

I think the most important topic right now is confronting the climate change and the problems it is going to cause, on every level local, regional, national and international. This looming crisis is going to affect everything and everyone on an existential level, and requires every of these government levels, even every individual, to fucking work and to fucking stand together.

And now my compatriots elect AfD.

Putin absolutely loving this

The growth of the far right isn't that terrible on a vacuum, since it's just a small growth anyway. The real bad news is this:

This is, traditional conservative parties starting to talk about cooperation with the far right, rather than with centrists. If you thought far right euroskeptics were cringe, just you wait to see the far right that wants to remodel the EU to their taste - and are capable of passing reforms.

Look at all those parties! The American mind struggles to comprehend this.

Can someone knowledgeable here explain this projection in relation to green policies and carbon goals?

I assume they are now (even) less likely to be in form of mandates and we are moving towards 'capitalism (with a lil stimulus push here and there) will solve the problem it created'?
Tho maybe nuclear energy could also get a little bit more (re)renewed traction?

Also, the whole internet surveillance isn't going away now, is it?

Can we take a moment to consider that everything is the fault of the Italians. The Italians, and only the Italians:

Why the hell are your polling stations open until 23:00? Who the hell votes at that time? Is it one of those "not cappuccino after 11 -- no voting before dusk" kind of superstitions? You're the reason we don't have proper projections yet!

This is what neoliberalism ignoring the needs of anyone who isn't a billionaire for couple of decades gets you.

Well, that and the political left selling out.

Disgusting.

We’re speedrunning the collapse of civilization. And people are only getting dumber. Don’t worry, it’s all gonna be over soon.

Young voters did this, ironically enough, according to BBC World News. Young people struggling to get jobs after graduation think that right wing parties will fix that.

So as older generations are trying not to hand-off a burning planet to the young, the young are signing up for a burning planet under some delusion that right wingers will get them jobs. Schools have apparently failed to teach kids that the jobs they get under conservative governance are shit jobs -- lousy pay and lousy benefits.

Are the non-aligned a "party"that would rather not be named (on the right wing of things) or are they actually non aligned and would be better represented as being in the middle of this chart?
