#EP2019

[Nicolai von Ondarza @NvOndarza]

Today I allow myself an 'I told you so'-post:

Contrary to media hype, as far back as Nov 2018 @FelixSchenuit + I calmly analysed that:
- EPP & S&D would lose their overall majority
- BUT: Anti-EU forces wd not rise significantly and split in 2 groups:

[Stefan Haußner @s_haussner]

Regarding the #turnout in the #EUelections2019. In 13 of the 28 Member States, turnout has fallen or increased by max. 2%. The big pan-European rise comes from the great results in populous member states (Spain, Poland, Romania, Germany).

[POLITICO Poll of Polls @pollofpolls_EU]

First final results are now available for 10 countries, together with estimates for the other 18 member states here's POLITICO's updated seat projection:

EPP 178
S&D 153
ALDE+Renaissance 109
Salvini's alliance 67
Greens-EFA 64
ECR 60
5Star+Brexit 42
GUE/NGL 40
NEW+NI 38

#EP2019

[Nicolai von Ondarza @NvOndarza]

Those who see the Greens as kingmakers and alternative to ALDE will be up for surprise

ALDE is tied with the EPP for largest group in the Eur Council while no Green Party (yet) heads a government. Greens will be important for majorities in EP, but less so for the Com President

[Europe Elects @EuropeElects]

EU28: We are continuously updating our projection for the European Parliament. The centre-right EPP is at least 10 seats ahead of the centre-left S&D - even if Fidesz leaves EPP and PSD remains part of S&D. #EP2019 #EUelections2019

Poland: Ipsos exit poll suggests the national-conservative PiS (ECR) wins European election in Poland. #EP2019 #EUelections2019 #Europawahl2019

[Stefan Leifert @StefanLeifert]

Margrethe Vestager, how are your chances to become the new president of the European Commission?

[Florian Eder @florianeder]

So it's official: Macron's #Renaissance and Dacian #Cioloș' Romanian #USR party join what was formerly known as @ALDEgroup. #EUelections2019

[Florian Eder @florianeder]

The first seat projection by @europarl is out #EUelections2019 👉

[Ryan Heath @politicoryan]

What I am seeing from these really great Green results in Western Europe is less of a "Green Wave" and more of a polarisation .. it's like a Green Tsunami in west, and Green Desert in east (which is similar to my original point, though admittedly Greens outperforming polls).

[Ryan Heath @politicoryan]

That's a disaster for EPP and Republicans in France. They are on track for 7 seats. Barely ahead of Socialists on 5. Greens: however, drum roll, should 10 #EUelections2019

[Europe Elects @EuropeElects]

France, European election today:

Turnout at 20:00 CEST

2019: 52%
2014: 42.4%

[Ryan Heath @politicoryan]

I disagree with FT assessment that Austria's Freedom Party was not hurt by #Ibizagate #StracheVideos - their exist poll result is 17.5%, down from 23% poll results for several months before the video. #EUelections2019

[Nicolai von Ondarza @NvOndarza]

Now how fascinating and great for European democracy would it be if we had transnational lists and thus a direct competition between Europarties? #EP2019.

[Lucas Guttenberg @lucasguttenberg]

. @akk says that if EPP is strongest Party at the end of the night, Manfred Weber should become Commission president.

In every scenario where Weber does not get the job, the CDU and AKK will need a pretty good story why this was not possible.
