Blatant power grab by Macron. I hope the VVD won't join. My wet dream would be a new European party formed by the more right-wing ALDE parties (VVD, Venstre) and the less explicitly Christian Democratic parties of the EPP (like the Moderates in Sweden) but that's probably not going to happen as I don't think there is a lot of space in Europe for a party like this.
Apart from the VVD, Venstre and the Moderates, such a party could include Finnish National Coalition Party, Fine Gael from Ireland, PO in Poland (contributing a very big number of seats), the Estonian Reform Party, the Romanian National Liberal Party, Czech TOP 09, and perhaps the Portuguese PSD. Don't see it happening, but it wouldn't be a bad idea.
