Daniel Håkansson @danielhaknsson.bsky.social · 05/10/2026What Gerrymandering attempts to do is basically to reshape the distribution of districts as per the arrows. 000
Daniel Håkansson @danielhaknsson.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Gerrymandering works byn creating large number of districts that are reasonably safe for one party (say 10%-20% advantage in a normal election). If there is a 10%-20% swing against the party this backfires and risks creating an even larger landslide than without the attempted gerrymandering. 200

The current "EPP minority government" (as @nvondarza.bsky.social & @sophia-russack.bsky.social called it) depends on S&D and RE without benefitting them in return. So it makes sense for them to demand a more formal coalition.table.mediaOpinion: The case for a formal grand coalition in the European ParliamentThe political scientist argues that, in the current parliamentary term, the European Parliament’s informal pro-European centrist coalition has effectively given way to a minority government led by the Christian Democrats. 1104

Daniel Håkansson @danielhaknsson.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I believe it is different. In a national budget every thing can be changed. In the EU general budget changes can only be done by shifting around inside the framework. Sure, things like Covid stimuli can still be done but please just wrap it inside an annual budget process. 110

Daniel Håkansson @danielhaknsson.bsky.social · 04/10/2026And finally and possibly most important I think we need to talk about these topics more often.

Daniel Håkansson @danielhaknsson.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Well, most countries do it the other way around. Yearly budget but budget profile planning for 3-5y. The drawbacks with 7y is that it is almost useless as an operational tool. Even the communists limited themselves to 5y plans. 110
Daniel Håkansson @danielhaknsson.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Yes! This ought to be a yearly budget as is every national one. All the other suggestions are good too.
