European Star Party stands with Ukraine and the Ukrainians. We wish peace to be found as soon as possible, but Ukraine must remain a sovereign and independent nation. Slava Ukraini!

Renaming @TheProgressives (actually, socialists & democrats) is a good idea, as it makes the #europeanparty-group link clearer for citizens.
However, there are 10 political parties with MEPs in the S&D group that are not full members of the @PES_PSE (+indep). Coherence welcome.

.@MarketkaG Pirate party, despite being present across Europe, still cannot be a #europeanparty -- no progress on registration thresholds. Identity of donors must be revealed for donations lower than €3,000. Foreign donations must be forbidden.

Reminder: the 𝛌ogos project examined the visibility of the link bt national parties and their #europeanparty of affiliation, by assessing how national parties display their European party's logo. It provides concrete recommendations for improvement.

Now, isn't it a problem that the #Spitzenkandidaten cannot be on a common list that all EU citizens can vote for? No: if citizens are given a 2nd proportional vote for a common #Europeanparty, then they can directly support this party and its #Spitzenkandidat w/ this vote. 19/25

So instead of pushing MEPs further away from citizens, let's reform the election and bring them closer, using local electoral districts & a party proportional vote on Member State lists. All candidates would be running under the name, logo & project of their #Europeanparty. 18/25

Optimists say TNLs will change this, but in 2014 & 2019, #Spitzenkandidaten have done nothing to hold national parties accountable for what their sister-parties (from the same #Europeanparty or #EPgroup) campaigned on. Debates and proposals remained entirely nation-centric. 9/25
