Guy Verhofstads makes what might be the worst campaign video I've ever seen for a real, major politician: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AhTyRAnGAg

Must see.

I'd be very surprised if KD gets a seat and I'm not sure C will either in Sweden. So I have a hard time seeing EPP get more than 5 in Sweden. Also don't think S&D will get more than 6. FP might get 2 so ALDE could still do ok. V will probably do well, I think they could nab a second seat.

As I answered the quiz with the perspective that a) A lot of the supposed 'social issues' are not, I think, EU-wide issues (or at least the EU should not be playing an active role in them*) and b) that the economic and funding questions were too vague, I got some odd answers:

Fiorello PROVERA (Lega Nord) (!): 70% (!!!)
Mara BIOZZOTTO (Lega Nord): 69%
Lara COMI (Il Popolo del Libertá): 67%
Elisabetta GARDINI (Il Popolo del Libertá): 67%

Needless to say these are not my preferences. Hilariously after that it was mostly D66 and Venstre. That's.... more like it.

Also the last three I got were all Tories. Much better. Definitely not a fascist now.

Also:
EFD 50%
ALDE 47%
EPP 45%
Greens/EPA 45%
GUE-NGL 39%
S&D 39%
ECR 32%

Oh, dear.

* (i.e. For the GMOs question I said I was in favour of the EU granting additional rights to restrict the growing of GMOs even though I would generally be against such rights to be enforced on the level of member states)

Yeah, join the club. My answers were a more extreme version of this.

The S&D v EPP battle isn't really a thing anyway. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter.

Juncker and SChultz? Are the European parties deliberately trolling us with those choices?
