I think the most interesting part of these exitpolls is that they show a result that is a bit more muted than the sweeping changes we've seen in other recent elections. We've seen the surge of the BBB in the provincial elections following the farmer's protests. We've seen the massive rise of NSC and PVV in our recent national election. Even the victory of FvD during the last EU election. The reason behind the relatively muted results is probably because EU-sceptics don't vote as much on EU elections. Even then, I find the tame results for NSC to be quite telling for how much our recent elections have come with a wave of votes one way or another.

[@stevewinkleburg5300]

I hope you keep showing what the European parliament is projected to look like after each country, I like watching to see what group will be the biggest

[@datchisan25]

I want to add a couple things. 1. The coalition of GroenLinks-PVDA, they aren’t even a coalition in the European parlement. 2. Dutch right wingers view the EU as a lost cause and hence refuse to even vote. 3. ECR had little big parties available, I believe this is why they lost so many seats. JA21 is too small a party and SGP is for die hard Christians, so if you don’t align with that they don’t get that vote. The ECR stood no chance in the Netherlands, a lot of its potential voters went either EPP or ID.

2:29 that's mostly by design because national governments have deliberately gimped EU institutions until its difficult to get excited about EU elections and it's inevitable that EU elections are dominated by national issues - because they aren't allowed to be dominated by EU issues. Making pan-European lists where anyone can vote for any candidate regardless of country and significantly strengthening the role of parliament (and significantly reducing the role of Council) would go a huge way towards improving turnout. And it wouldn't be some dictat from above, either, when you actually look at the polling you consistantly see that Europeans are more pro-EU in most ways than is actually being represented by the politicians - for example majority of Europeans are in favor of tight EU defense to the point of EU army - but it's the national politicians, who like the local feudal lords of old, who want to preserve their powers that are the main impediments to progress.

@@NicolasHaufe First of all, you are confusing Islam with Islamism. And secondly, it is counterproductive to lean on right-wing nationalists to combat radicalization. They tend to be the same thing but in different forms.

So the people who voted for the “mainstream” parties are not part of the “the people”? Who gave you the power to decide who “the people” are?

[@lb9029]

Well if that's true (which I don't think it is), in a democracy the idea is that you then start your own party. But if that doesn't happen, well, what do "the people" want then.

If Volt continues to have good results I will consider not voting for an EPP party and go to vote to a ECR party.

[@cluelessmango768]

You change your vote depending on the performance of an unrelated party you were never going to vote for anyways? Also, 1 seat can hardly be called a good result

[@ilovegaming114]

Stupid

[@antoniodepalma-f8i]

@cluelessmango768 Yes. Because the EPP works more often with the GREENS (of which volt is a member if) than ECR. And I don't like many of Volts policies. They do have some that are good.

it does matter if you want a push back against the undemocratic EU, it is undemocratic because most of the parties who are there are undemocratic, if you want to change that you need to change the people who is there, as a minimum they can vote no the the stupid laws that give more power to EU and they can spread the word about what is going on

[@fortynine3225]

PvdA was huge for many years but lost lot of support last few years. Green in Europe lost big. So if GoenLinks was on its own they would have likely lost a lot to. And PvdA would not have been big either. It is two parties combined con and a rather strong leader.

[@DanielSmith-x5v]

This guy acts like 2 seats is negligible in the Netherlands. 2 seats is 1/15th of all of the Netherlands seats. Also the BBB is pretty far right and I wouldn’t be surprised if they joined the ECR. Even if they stay in EPP their voting will largely align with wilders. This was pretty clearly a far right victory. 8 seats in ECR and ID (7 in ID is a lot) +2 in BBB. 10/31 far right seats (1/3) + over another third of centre right and more moderate right seats. Calling this anything but a far right victory even if it’s not as much as projections showed is wild😂.

Why do you keep talking about FAR RIGHT we are not far right we are PATRIOTS WHO WANT TO STOP THE IMMIGRANT INVASION OF EUROPE.

[@xenonn7275]

The PVV won 6 seats, while PvdA GL lost one. PVV will be the biggest party in the Europarlement after this. Their close partners in BBB (+2) and SGP (-) also preformed well. While I did not vote on them (I voted CU) its clear that they did win. Especially noting that European elections are hard for eurosceptic parties in the Netherlands, since their voters don't turn up. This is also why Christian parties tend to preform relatively well during these elections, the SGP even getting 4.2% (6 2k seats) of the vote (In de Hond's model concerning the results of 150 counted voting booths)

[@icedancer2370]

@@tomfitz157 no, its the right becoming more right wing. If that makes the EU parliament more rightward, it’s because the EPP refuse to disavow them and their sister parties over-perform over the next few days. If things continue like this, the centrist coalition will hold and leave the right with a very united but isolated minority. You all are about to get a crash course in obstructionism for the next 5 years.
