Interpreting spending

The Times reports that Labour outspent the SNP 3:1 in the last GE. Their conclusion, the SNP is doomed. Mine, Labour raised a vast amount of money from ‘private’ donors - it allows them to ignore their membership and country. The SNP needs a revival, selling out to organisations who do not have #Scotland’s best interests at heart is no the way to go.

Holyrood elections here we come.

Keir Starmer took Labour to a historic landslide—and then set about punishing the poor, bullying disabled people, and purging his own MPs for having principles.

Now his approval ratings are in freefall, his party is split, and his leadership looks doomed.

Here's how it all unravelled.

Portugal: first polls say that AD wins the general elections with around 32% of the votes (Euronews, 2025-05-19)

>> The ruling centre-right coalition Democratic Alliance (AD/PSD-CDS) remained the strongest political force in #Portugal, with 32% of votes won in the Sunday general election.

>> With 99% of the vote counted, far-right party Chega, which earned 22,56%, has managed to nearly become the second-strongest party in the country, nearing the Socialist Party (PS) which won 23,38% of the vote. Both parties will have the same number of seats in the new parliament, 58.

>> Without a majority of seats the Democratic Alliance, led by the Social Democratic Party, can try to recruit support from smaller parties, currently seen as unlikely, or take office as a minority government as it did during its last term…

EDIT: I posted this before I learned what happened in Munich today. My apologies to anyone who might feel offended.

If you think that #GeneralElection in Germany is complicated, you are probably correct, at least linguistically. To reduce the number of members in the #Bundestag to a manageable level, we now have a #Zweitstimmendeckungsverfahren. And trying to explain that would likely break any character limit for a Fediverse posting.

At least 200,000 protesters rally in Munich against #FarRight #AfD ahead of German election

February 8, 2025

MUNICH, Germany (AP) — "More than 200,000 protesters rallied in Munich, Germany, on Saturday against #FarRightExtremism ahead of the country’s #GeneralElection.

"The far-right, #AntiImmigrant #AlternativeForGermany, or AfD, is in second place in recent polls and has prompted widespread protests across the country before voters cast their ballots on #February23.

"The protest at Munich’s Theresienwiese — where Oktoberfest takes place each year — brought a significantly larger crowd than expected, according to the German dpa news agency. The event’s organizer estimated the crowd could be up to 320,000 people, many of whom carried signs against the AfD with slogans like, '#Racism and #hatred is not an alternative.'

"The protest was supported by #ActivistGroups as well as the #MunichFilmFestival, #churches and Munich soccer clubs FC Bayern and TSV 1860, among others. Police told dpa that the demonstration was peaceful.

"Similar #protests attracted large crowds on Saturday in #HanoverGermany, #RostockGermany, and elsewhere in Germany, mirroring other demonstrations that have occurred across the country in recent weeks."
