I’m not going to post an update every time a (small) milestone is reached, but i felt this time it was warranted.
Sweden and Poland both passed their respective thresholds. That brings us to 3 out of 7 countries where we need to pass the threshold. We are also past 25% of the one million signatures needed continent-wide.
Thank you to everyone who already signed.

This is going very well it seems! I see the next few countries close to passing the threshold are:
- Denmark (88%)
- Netherlands (87%)
- Germany (75%)
Assuming we get those, we would need one more country. The highest remaining country is Ireland (55%). Getting all those still wouldn’t reach 1M signatures, but the rest could keep being distributed across the EU (even including countries which have already passed the threshold, I’m assuming).
This is all very exciting and gives me a lot of hope! Keep signing folks!
(even including countries which have already passed the threshold, I’m assuming).
You assume correctly
At this point I’d that say getting enough individual countries is almost inevitable in the process of getting 1M signatures. If the distribution between countries remains as it is, every country with more than 25% right now would reach the threshold by the end.
Seems to me like the individual country threshold is only added to prevent initiatives getting single-handedly pushed by a single big country and never be the blocker for regular initiatives.
So yeah, the best strategy would most likely be to keep pushing the big countries: Germany, France, Spain and Italy. Speaking of Italy, what’s up with them? Only 18%? Those are rookie numbers.
Could be due to Italy’s very old demographics. Fewer people who care about videogames.
That’s one thing I checked first, but compared to Germany for example, the average age and percentage of people playing video-games is apparently just a few percentage points of difference. Though “people playing video-games” could of course mean anything and I’d wager that the average person playing casual games on their phone might not care as much.
Fine! I’m signing it!
Germany at 75.47%. We’re a bunch of slackers aren’t we?
I already did my part, but might as well spread the word among my friends.
While we’re on the topic of EU initiatives, the tax the rich initiative still needs signatures. It aims to set a floor on tax rates for the very wealthy, and have member states use that new money for environment, employment and social policies.
They’ve hit the threshold for France and Germany, but still need more signatures everywhere else.
Apparently during the summer I missed all kind of this stuff: just voted!
Had it been enough presented in different social media?
Damn Poland beat out the Netherlands.
We need to focus our efforts on Malta 🇲🇹
Nah, France and Spain. We only need 7 countries to pass their thresholds, and after that, only raw numbers matter. We need the big population centers, and France and Spain are way behind Germany.
This initiative has been barely mentioned in Spain anywhere that I know of.
If you’re there, perhaps you can signal boost?
Denmark is at 87%, nice. Let’s make it reach 100%!
Doing my part
Thanks for the update. It reminded me to sign.
I missed this iniative completely! Just voted!
If only brexit didn’t happen…
