MEPs and their national parties organise themselves into larger political groupings in the European Parliament that share their ideological beliefs. In this video, we outline the requirements for groupings to become official within the EU, and what each of the current seven stand for.

    It would be nice if pirate parties had grown up instead of extreme right parties. Then they could have their own European party called "Pirates and Buccaneers of Europe".

    The problem is, you can't vote for these directly. I'm leftist but I can only vote for the deeply corrupt Romanian PSD social Democrats, if I want to support their EU family. I won't vote for them.

  8. @robotkade9107

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    And I do think party’s that support the eu becoming bigger and better aligned with one another should be the top dogs in the eu

  9. @robotkade9107

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    So let me get this straight the far left can have the eu’s support but the far right can’t kind of strange if you ask me

    2:20 so in other words. The EU wanted to repress people that didn't agree with it.

    Sounds like a dictatorship

    I am not a friend of political parties in general – why? Because they never 100% match what I want and they too often compromise even on their supposed core tenants to gain power! But if we have to have them then strict rules on their creation (note: Those political groupings are more or less parties on the European level, made up of national parties!) are wrong as that makes it even harder to bring what the people wnat to parliament!

  14. @brandrange2288

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    Your tone is already biased against far-right parties. Democracy 101: if far-left parties can have seats, far-right parties should too.

  15. @angelic8632002

    Needs a technocratic group. Technical expertise and science is underrepresented as usual in politics. With predictable results id argue.

    how the fuck is a liberal party left😂😂

  17. @TheMagicLemur

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    What's missed out here is that the political parties in charge have not changed in 30 years.

    Also that no grouping can initiate legislation because it's a toothless parliament.

    Pretty big omissions.

  19. @memestillidie

    why not just call them the far left? you have no problem with calling far right parties

    It seems like a good system wish Oceania had similar

  22. @arjanvaneersel

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    The problem is that these groups aren't real European political parties, but simply consortia of national parties. And that causes some very nasty controversies and hypocrisy. For example: Renew Europe often points fingers at Viktor Orban for corruption and lack of press freedom, they even strongly encouraged the EPP to expel Fidesz a while back. But at the same time they have the Bulgarian MRF as a member, which is the party of oligarchs like Ahmed Dogan and Delyan Peevski who are associated with structural corruption and repressing media freedom (according to reporters without borders), thus doing the same as what they accuse Orban of.

    And it's because of the presence of the MRF that with EU elections I would never vote for any member party of Renew Europe, even though I might have done so during national elections.

  23. @arvidgreat

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    I think The EU should Go back to be about fri trade and freedom of movement instead of acting like the instrument for Germany and france to take over europe by "democratic" means. Im swedish and we are onlu about 10 million but becouse we are so small we have practically no voice. If germany and france agree on something then that is what happens. I hope the union goes back to just being about rade or it is disbanded.

  24. @TomasLKarlik

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    Tbh, 7 sounds like a good number – not too many to overcrowd the space, and still enough to have a pretty good selection of ideologies. Even so, an extremist grouping made its way in…

  25. @philiphennings5167

    I think the EU should immediately allow Turkey in

    That Nazi union of Europe must end as fast as possible.
    That Nazi union have committed so many crimes via terrorist Nato organisation in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya and these crimes doe not drop with obsolescence.
    That Nazi Union of Europe is now conspiring on the Palestinians and want to steal there homeland as native American, Hawaii people, native Australians and the Maori people of New Zealand.
    Palestinians are never going to be another native Americans or Hawaii people and their homeland wont be stolen.
    Spain as well as Nazi Union of Europe and killers of native Americans in the Americanised states of terrorism are conspiring now on the Palestinians and want to expel 35 million Palestinians from their homeland, telling the international community that the Jewish were in Palestine 3000 years ago.
    Today Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco have more than 10 million Spanish muslim citizens ( Moriscos ) expelled from their Andalucia kingdom in the south of the Iberian Peninsula 500 years ago.
    Moriscos are not arbs, they are muslim Spanish citizens and their mother tongue is Spanish language and not Arabic language.
    Moriscos were expelled from their homeland 500 years ago because they refused to leave Islam and return to Catholic heresy.
    When the Catholic Spanish are asked today why must the Jewish have a sovereign state beside Palestine sovereign state and Moriscos can not have their own sovereign kingdom back beside the Spanish kingdom, they dont say a word about that.

  33. @aguy3082

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    I think it's funny that they raised the bar just enough to exclude far-right groupings, but not high enough to exclude the far-left groupings. Like a jump from 20-25 members isn't much, and seems to pretty clearly be just enough to keep out the right, but a 50 seat limit would make more sense based on the overall size of the EU, but that would exclude the Left.

  34. @zacnieprawisz9171

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    You don't describe leftist ideologiest to the same extent as you describe rightist ones – you have just said they are for "social justice", but what does it even mean???

  35. @robinstevenson6690

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    There should be another video explaining the balance of power in the european parliament, which is the most interesting part. What good is it to tell us what the party groupings are if you don't tell viewers how they have allied themselves into blocs or how they've coordinated their efforts, etc?

  36. @robinstevenson6690

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    "What do I think?" Please stop repeating the same line "WHAT DO YOU THINK?" at the end of each video. Please – – it's awful. Also, please have more than one person doing these commentaries.

  37. @steiraman1

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    There is
    one far left EU sceptic
    2 center left pro EU
    1 centrist liberal pro EU
    1 center right pro EU
    1 right-national conservative eurosceptic
    and
    1 far right anti EU group

    how you can say "wow, there are so many left groups" i can't understand.

    And to describe the greens as "you know what they are about, ecology, social justice and so on" is akso very superficial

  38. @albertoginelsalvador2172

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    Not even the red one is left, and the yellow one, is right wing.

  41. @SordMasta

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    "we all know what Green Parties stand for…."
    Yes, we know they are supposed to stand for environmentalism, when they remember.
    We also know that in most countries they somehow end up being trojan horses for hostile/rival powers.
    (sadly, cause i like to think of myself as an environmentalist)

  42. @thegreenishcrab

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    Its sounds like the most sensible party vs the mainstream

  43. @kalinavalcheva8149

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    So it's okay for a far-left party to be in the EU but not for a far-right 😯

  44. @dylreesYT

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    I miss when UK parties were included in this summary 🙁

  45. @eddiemitza2544

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    Seeing the Social Democrat Party of Romania in the progressive's group is funny, considering they're the communist party rebranded a bunch of times, and are socialist conservatives, even EU-skeptics.

  46. @yakotako717

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    Daily Reminder: Polish party "PO" isn't a center-right party, but it is a center-liberal/center-left party
    The don't have nothing to do with conservatism right now
    That party should be in "Renew Europe", but its leader – Donald Tusk, doesn't want to change position of that party, because of money…

  47. @RadioAraujo

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    That's why you shouldn't create "European parties"

  48. @sticlavoda5632

    Why is there so much discrimination against Romanians. It is wild

  49. @libelldrian173

    February 28, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    It was so clumsy to list the biggest members of the party groupings just by absolute seat numbers. Like that, most of the parties mentioned were also from the most populous countries…
