#BCWeeklyPoll 🗳️

This week marks the 1 year anniversary of the #European elections.

What has been the most relevant issue impacting the #EuropeanParliament?

[Burson Brussels @BursonBrussels]

🗳️In our last #BCWeeklyPoll, we asked 'who should run the currently vacant @EU twitter account?' @Twiplomacy

@PabloPerezA and @BrusselsGeek joined BCW's @LawMusky to discuss the results

What do you think the results mean for #EU social media?

[Burson Brussels @BursonBrussels]

The @EU handle, previously unrelated to #EU institutions, has recently been suspended.

The European Union could now claim the handle to promote the EU's values in cultural, political and social issues.

Who do you think should take up the @EU account? #BCWeeklyPoll

Nice attempt from Politico and @PoliticoRyan for their seats projection for the next Parliament. But some results are a bit off.

For instance, EFDD with 5 countries could no longer be a group (you need 7).
