Will Macrons En Marche! really join ALDE?! According to Macron himself he does not like the current groups in the EP. Could he create a new group with C's from Spain E+ from Italy and others from the Green/EFA and old ALDE groups?!

Remember Tapies Energie Radicale which created The Group of the European Radical Alliance (ERA). Whcin consisted off Energie Radicale, Scottish National Party, Pannella-Reformers List, People's Union/Flemish Free Democrats and Canarian Coalition.

I really think that the swedish centreparty withvits current leader Annie Lööf would like to join Macron. She is even running ads like Framåt Sverige i.e. forward Sweden i.e. En Marche. They would get two seats, could get three if they manage to get liberal voters voting for the Liberals ex Folkpartiet which tend to to very good EP-elections. I also think that many Liberals in Sweden would like to join Macron but the party is to attached to ELDR and ALDE with its swdeish commisioner Cecelia Malmström.

Debout la France leaves EFDD and joins ECR.

Amy news regarding AFD? Is ENF a likley group for Them or might ECR be their Choice?

[FredLindq]

So EFDD is dead or what?
Will M5S be able to create a new group?

I would say that S and M will not get this many seats especially not S.

I know thar Lega Nord was expelled from ELDR, but do you know anymore?!
