> @19winston84 , Thank you for you toot. The short answer is, no, I was not aware of it. Your reply is exactly to sort of cooperation I am looking for. EPP is a problematic group for me. I intend to provide a long answer too. 🙂 🤝 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 S&D RE G/EFA

19winston84@mastodon.online , so here is the long answer 🙂
The first, very wild proposal of "Our political group" already caused some excitement. My words "first, very wild" were not enough to describe the nature of that list.
There are already three posts which explain the situation:

Perhaps, I should emphasize that I do expet the constructed group will be powerful or that it will cooperate or anything. I simply use the MEPs as markers on the political map denoting our(??) political direction.
The desired number 361 is chosen to direct my / our(??) mind to search of very broad coalition(?) - which, I believe, is the requirement of the current times(?) / era(?).
The 265 MEPs of S&D, RE and G/EFA political groups are, for me, an easy part. And I invite you all (Veza85UE 19winston84 and xChaos) to join bobojp and me and endorse this list as broadly describing our(??) desired political direction for the Union.
I am noting, that were these 265 MEPs and these three political groups integrate in one political group in the European Parliament they will be the biggest group. This may have some desirable consequences but, alas, they prefere to operate split.
Then, extending 265 to 361 is(!) difficult. That led me to include "almost everything" in that explosive list of 461. One can think of three directions, in alphabetic orded: EEP , Left, NI (political groups). My gut feeling is to start with "Left" and be very inclusive(?). Then go through NI , as Veza85UE suggest, with magnifying glass. And then turn to EPP especially in member countries where there are strong forces even worse then EPP, Poland, for example.
But all this may be too little for 361. Which calls for the revision of the 361 goal.
So I suggest, first, endorese the list of 265, and then, to discuss where to go further.
