Neither the infographic nor this page explaining it decodes what “EPP” “S&D” “ECR” etc. actually mean, making this useless to the layperson.
In trying to engage the public in an inclusive understanding of European politics, you’ve failed at the very first hurdle.
I can’t even see a link to find this secret information I’m supposed to know. A simple key or sentence would suffice and open the doors to a much wider audience of potentially-politically-active readers.
Thank you for your very valuable comment. As you can see we have updated the post but you can also check the following list: EPP – Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) S&D – Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the EP ECR – European Conservatives and Reformists Group ALDE – Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe GUE/NGL – Confederal Group of the European United Left–Nordic Green Left Greens/EFA – Group of the Greens–European Free Alliance EFDD – Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy NI – Non-Inscrits
Last time Germany had 99 MEP. The discrimination of German citizens continues, not only are Germans underrepresented, each time a new member state joins the Germans get even less votes.
