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.

It'd be electoral suicide for CD&V to enter a coalition with the PvdA. You'd have a right wing Flemish government continuously bashing on the communist federal government and in 5 years we'll see N-VA/VB get over 50% combined.

Unless a centrist/green/socialist/extreme socialist government ends up working well and making everything better for everyone.

It doesn't seem to have done THAT well though? It added 8 seats but the Greens got over twice that. The big winner seems to ALDE who look like business oriented centrists which sucks but this could have been a lot worse.

Wouldn't say the right wing massively won this. In some countries they had to take some nasty hits and seeing how other parties lost voter support, their gain was rather small.

Theoretically we could have a VLD/CD&V/SP.a/Groen/PVDA rainbow coalition in the flemish parliament.

Realistically it's even less likely than that proposed federal coalition unfortunately

That's an idiotic take. If S&D are left wing, then EPP and ALDE are right wing and that means the right has almost two thirds of the parliament. And otherwise, the hard right has 170 seats and the GUE/NGL has 38.

Ireland is in an interesting place where two of the three largest parties are center right, but they're both quite milquetoast right compared to most other EU ones. Speaking of Ireland, I guess the green Growth has been at the expense of Sinn Fein?

Welp, I voted left and european friendly for all the good it'll do. Apparently turnout is abysmal where I am.
Preliminary counting puts the turnout at about 53% in Sweden. Not great, but better than I expected.

I had a bet with a friend that we'd see <50% turnout so I guess I owe him a beer now.

Final counting is underway in Sweden, but preliminary result have the left block (S, V, MP, FI) losing 3 seats, going from 11 to 8 . The right block (M, C, L, KD) gained 2 seats, from 7 to 9. The far right SD gained 1 seat, from 2 to 3.




( M and KD: EPP. C and L: ALDE. S and FI: S&D. V: GUE/NGL. MP and PP: EFA. SD: ECR )

In Croatia a rather symmetric result. 4 seats old school right, 4 old school left. 1 new right, 1 new left. 1 uneducated anti-establishment, 1 educated anti-establishment.

It's seen as a poor performance of the old school right because domestically they've been kicking the old school left (main opposition) for years and were expected to win easily.

By and large, SF had a pretty poor election (both euros and simultaneous locals) - a lot of the Greens success has been pinned on an outstanding performance from one of their candidates in a televised debate and the growth of the climate issue. The party itself is v centrist historically (and was part of the FF coalition government during the financial crisis).

Predictable the government has immediately signalled movement on climate issues and talk of an FG/Green coalition has picked up, a local green and black variant. There's already increased talk about a general election now within the next few months, previously punting that till after Brexit was the preferred option.

Also ECR is definitely right-wing, it's basically the traditional right-wing, just not far-right.

EPP is more centrist as a whole.

e: That said if left includes Greens then things haven't gotten worse from the last elections for the left. And the right-wing did shrink it's overall seat share, EPP included.

But they're an outlier due to their size, not their politics, if even half of what is posted in the UKMT-thread is true. At least the more prominent ones like Bojo the Clown, Leadsom, Hunt, Gove, JRM etc. would much better fit into Lega, RN, AfD or FPÖ and their ilk than CDU/Les Republicaines/ÖVP, which would already be bad enough.

Is there any reason to believe that the next government won't be ÖVP-FPÖ again? FPÖ losses weren't that big, and the ÖVP gained quite a bit (presumably ex-FPÖ voters), so they will probably still have a majority after the next elections?

Unfortunately not. Any other majority seems unlikely at this point (except for a grand coalition, which won't happen as long as Kurz leads the ÖVP). So get ready for Schwarz-Blau 2: Nazi Bugaloo in autumn.
