The EU Parliament will publish all data on election night from across all EU countries on here:
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/portal/en
Projections and estimates by national parties will start to published soon (from 18:00 GMT+2). First overall projection (European overview) at 20:15 GMT+2. Actual results at 23:00 GMT+2.
TL;DR Far-right on the rise more or less everywhere based on the estimates, green parties on the decline. Let’s just hope it will not get too dire consequences in the five years to come.
Even if in the next elections (2029!) greens would surge like crazy and the far right crumble, we lose sooo much valuable time within these 5 years now. It really is disheartening :(
Too much time. I literally cannot see how we can even push for actual policies now that would be needed. Time to work towards a speedy extinction instead I guess.
Indeed. What a setback. I will continue practicing individual climate action ([email protected]), which is the only control we have now.
You can still vote with your wallet. Don’t drive your car unless absolutely neccessary, don’t use anything ‘cloud’ or ‘AI’ and pressure companies on social media to watch their emissions.
Indeed. And it’s worth noting as well that Cloudflare encourages admins to deploy heavy websites, pushes graphical CAPTCHA (which adds weight), and makes text browsers less usable. So I boycott Cloudflare, as well as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. Lemmy.world uses CF, so changing instances to get off Cloudflare is also a climate action.
I’ve been doing that for many years, even though I’m already at the bottom of emission footprints due to being poor. It just does not matter when everyone else is rather opposed to actually do the same.
That is depressing.
Honestly the way society is currently looking, I fully expect to either be put in a concentration camp or murdered by some brownshirt-equivalent in the near-ish future. “Moderate” conservatives seem to have no problems collaborating with fascists
This reminds me of the graphs that came out with Gen-Z men trending more right and Gen-Z women trending more left. How do we even begin to address this? Absolutely cooked as a society.

The correct website
Yeah, the one I posted was a redirect to the elections page yesterday but isnt anymore today
This is such a shame. I just moved to Germany and I haven’t had much time to engage in politics but it seems a fundamental misunderstanding of the solutions we need is still present here (possibly with the help of destabilizing countries like Russia or China who seem to have strong misinformation campaigns running online).
Guess I need to accelerate getting involved with my local politics as soon as possible. What social platforms do Germans use to communicate about politics? I used to post on Facebook for Americans, and obviously reddit was a good place to have small conversations, but is there any place I can directly address conservative talking points in a public forum. The fact that young people are voting far right tells me we’re losing the digital battle more than anything.
Instagram probably? Comment sections of big news outlets
Oof, if Instagram’s comment section is where we’re having political discussions these days that’s disheartening. There’s clearly a need for a town square application for these sorta things.
Tbf I’m not from Germany, but Austria. Maybe the Germans do it differently
It’s just a weird concept in general despite being wholly believable. I don’t blame you nor think you’re wrong or right. Just a hilarious and sad picture, a societies main hall for political dialogue being an endless feed of algorithmically addicting content. Idk, just a boring dystopia kinda thing.
