Orange dot is the overall center of gravity of the EP, and each country position can be compared to this dot.

Too lazy to say much about the methodology.

Oh, go on, tell us. It's intriguing.

Apparently, the Farage-Grillo (EFDD) group in European Parliament will be dissolved as the Latvian MEP (Green and Farmers) defected to EPP, leaving them short of one country (they need 7).

It didn't last long. Now that the UKIP is doing its coming out on immigration, they could consider joining the PVV-FN-FPO-LN-etc.

Oh, go on, tell us. It's intriguing.

Once it's published I can share it.

have they not explicitly ruled out working with almost al of the non-inscrit nationalists?

they'd be more likely to try to save the EFD group than start a new one, but the parties that might join them from the right may drive off m5s, and I don't expect that they could tempt anyone back from ECR

They actually just did that, with MEP from the Polish Congress of the New right joining the EFDD. They definitely belong to the "not socially acceptable" far-right, but they are a small and relatively unknown party, so it should allow the EFDD to keep the millions of funding from the EU while avoiding a public backslash.
