Bulgaria is so democratic it has 2 elections every year.

I disagree with you giving no points to the French far right, it did get less seats than expected, but it was still a sharp increase compared to the last elections

[robbecaerts]

It's insane how you say "Belgium has way too many parties", and yet, as a Belgian, I'm still waiting for a party to raise which I mostly agree with...

[JayTeeEN]

Kinda cursed to put Slovakia in the Left camp. Left in Slovakia is nationalist and socially conservative + they work with the Far-Right.

Where is Portugal? It had elections this year on 10 March 2024 in parliament and prime minister divisions. Yes, it was because the previous government collapsed earlier than expected because of corruption and scandals, but it was still important for the Portugal political shift of the modern day Europe and how young people represent in political landscape in Portugal.

If you honestly think a Belgian federal government will ever be formed including Vlaans Belang, you have no clue whatsoever about Belgian politics

[Avantelvsitania]

You forgot Portugal’s legislative election in March.
The center-right coalition won against the previous center-left government. Also, the hard-right quadrupled their seats (12 to 50).
That would mean a point for both the right and far right camps, and minus one point for the left camp.
This alters entirely the conclusions from your video. I’d sugest you pin a comment with the updated points or redoing the video entirely.



Edit: Thank you for the correction video.

As a French, I totally disagree with you for not giving point to the french far right. As even though they didn't win the elections, it's a historical push for the far-right as the Macronistes and the NFP were doing a alliances to not let Rassemblement Nationale get more deputies. (Also as I am watching the news to see how the Assemblée nationale and see if the socialist will leave the NFP or the new government collaspe...)

[megakillpt]

Portugal fliped from a center left to a center right, so -1 point for the center left and +1 point for the center right, and also the far right quadrupled their seats, so id call that a +1 for the far right

[stefanuc]

In Romania the far-right got a total of 36% it should have been a point for them

[Jurjen.]

You showed the European alliances alongside the national parties. KUDOS 😃

I am a Hungarian and these videos make me realize how little people know about actual Hungarian politics.

[marktheprussian]

11:40 vlaams belang will never govern federally. They are flemish nationalists who oppose the existence of belgium as a state and want complete and total sovereignty over flanders without any federal structure to interfere, because of this, literally all wallonian parties will never have a reason to govern with them as they are opposed on a fundamental level. Furthermore, a ‘cordon sanitaire’ has been placed around them since the ‘80s, where all parties in the federal and flemish parliaments have agreed to never enter a coalition with them (local elections are different because specific local parties are not bound to this agreement as they never signed it).

[csabakis]

There was NO (presidential) election in Hungary -> first of all, it is NOT an election when the new figures is "elected" by the parliament, whoever controls the parliament currently gets its candidate elected ... before the Fidesz-era, before 2010, there was some political debate, nowadays there is nothing -> btw the president is just a quite weightless figurehead, I did not even bother to memorize the new names, such unimportant they are ...

"It's getting harder to catagorize parties into left or right"
Yeah that's because political channels keep refusing to use the ACTUAL political compas, which has Right-Left, Conservative-Progresive axis and instead pretend there is just left and right...

[gustlekens]

in case you want an update on Belgium, we finaly have a coalition (it just took some time, roughly 236 days)

[hydrusalphy]

I was skeptical of the video concept, but this turned out to be a surprisingly fun watch. Maybe you could do something like this again at the end of 2025? My own country goes to vote at February 23rd, and there will definitely be a lot to discuss there in terms of shifts.

[CruelTurk]

Its unbelievable to me as an American that this late in the game France still votes left

[Donderu]

I find the left/right dichotomy to be too restrictive. There should be an axis of social conservatism/liberalism, and an economic left/right

[erik]

it's increasingly difficult to rely on left/right divide when it comes to politics. In case of Lithuania for example, where a left-leaning party has won in the parliamentary elections, our governemnt will likely remain relatively conservative compared to what "left-leaning" looks like in say Western Europe and that's due to the fact that our society itself is more conservative in comparison. The "conservative left" term that's been popping up more these days does a decent job painting a clearer picture of what's going on. 😅
