MODERATORS
 

So Sumar's (Spanish party) politicians will apparently be distributed across both The Left and the Greens European parties. Presumably an image maneuver, since joining an European party usually doesn't bind your vote, and Spanish green parties usually get integrated in leftist electoral options anyway.

So what you are saying is that if there is a given vote in the US parliament, in order to find out how someone will vote, you need someone who can distinguish between the colours red and blue, and if you want to do the same for the EU parliament, you need a doctorate and a decade of intense study to even begin to comprehend the complexities? /s

It's funny that there are several levels of overlapping parties and even the lists don't avoid this chaos.

Yeah, which seems a bit of a hassle, given that there's only two possible opinions one could have on any given matter. Don't know why they bother with more than two parties, really.

Yeah, if you ask Hungary, one party is enough, they can manufacture your consent and tell you what your opinions are just fine.

Two party systems are just for hippies who want to believe they can change anything important while they get a show of tug of war on issues no politician really cares about.
