     French parties just keep changing names every election. Very confusing to follow. 😅

     Was in Göteborg for the Open Repositories 2024 Conference:

     so also watched on SVT 1 for a while (though I don't understand Swedish).

     A belated Happy National Day to you!

     Is there an election newscast somewhere in Europe that looks at the EU as a whole? On ARTE or something?

     If it looks like the show will move over to discussing the various finalized results across the EU, I'll watch it all, but that doesn't seem to be happening.
     clacke@libranet.de is my main, clacke at libranet.de is my main and clacke at libranet.de is my main repeated this.

     YES. Preliminary results (exit poll) looking far better than feared.

     I won't watch the full 5 h, after the exit poll they will have two hours of analysis and discussion that will be mostly filler, as no final results were yet available.

     Time to take a break and go move the last items out of the old home, then I'll watch the last two hours, when the final results were presented and discussed.

     Why are they correspondents at the different parties experiencing audio feedback?

     Oh right, just at the time of presenting the exit poll, of course all the parties are watching SVT on the big screen. 😃

     SD representative talking about how their underwhelming result might be the result of psyops is hilarious, when the biggest psyops is the support Russian troll factories are giving to parties like SD.

     I don't see any election night coverage, but ARTE does have a solid collection of two-minute animated infographic explainers on how the EP works and what it does:

     @clacke Did you see the video from Expressen I think where they sing "Ausländer Raus" until they spot the journalist and then one of them tries to get the phone used for recording from the journalist?
     Totally not at all a nazi-party...

     Denmark has several new parties that I need to catch up on.

     Very nice to see the far right retreat in Sweden's and Finland's representation ... and then you look at Germany and France and despair. 😥

     I'm not up to date on what the People's List party in Sweden wants either. They didn't get in, but it's interesting that they were founded by a former Christian Democrat and youth wing chair campaigning on cannabis legalization, and a former Social Democrat and reality TV star.

     @clacke When has the far-right in France and Germany ever caused problems at a global scale ?

     Nationalist Fidesz in Hungary loses ground and loses their own absolute majority, and that sounds nice, but then you look at who took the most of those votes, and that's TISZA, whose most famous name is a guy who was in Fidesz until this year.

     Looking at the party ideology and program, it does look like progress. They want to reduce strongman rule and corruption, improve accountability, improve rule of law, cooperate with EU institutions, etc.

     I haven't looked into where Péter Magyar stands personally, and why he was in Fidesz.

     It sounds like the overall analysis is that the representation of most countries moved a bit left, but because Germany and France are so dominant and moved so hard right, the total is still a move a bit to the right.

     @ohyran Now the DN article reached me.

     dn.se/sverige/sd-ledamot-sjong…

     "Oh shit, are you recording?" is so marvellously pathetic.

     @clacke "På en fråga om regeringens samarbete med SD säger Kristersson att han ”inte ska sluta lösa allvarliga svenska problem” för att ”någon sverigedemokrat sjunger rasistiska sånger”."
     "Nån Sverigedemokrat" är alltså en riksdagsledamot...
