      A map acknowledging the concept of Central Europe and even having sensible borders for it? What a neat treat!
      It would have been nice to also have Switzerland on it, but I don’t know well their politics fit into a EU framework as an associate state

    2. Not sure why the east german states are blue here.

      Only the AfD is a nationalist populist party, every other party is pro eu. And the AfD does not have over 50% of the votes in any of these states at the state level.

      Edit: I should add that all of these places have proportional representation and parliamentary based coalition governments. Being the strongest party does not give you the same political power as it would in the UK or the US.

    3. How did you come up with the assumptions for austria? Strongest party in Salzburg and Upper Austria and lower Austria is the same. Only in Styria the FPÖ is strongest

      What is the logic behind it? I’m looking at Austrian federal states and I’m completely baffled – Burgenland is blue, but it’s ruled by the coalition of social democrats and greens who are both pro-EU. Lower Austria and Upper Austria are both ruled by a coalition of People’s Party (right-wing pro-EU) and Freedom Party (ultranationalist anti-EU), but one is red and the other one is blue. Why?

      I’m a little scared of maps that don’t show a distinction between Germany and Poland.

      In Hungary, Budapest isn’t the only pro-EU city. To be more precise, it’s not just Budapest, but its entire metropolitan area—totaling nearly 2.6 million people—along with the major regional cities that should be colored ‚red‘ [pro-EU/opposition]. However, even this representation might be outdated today; the situation has changed significantly over the last four years.

    7. Calling ANO nationalist or not pro-EU is a bit misleading. ANO is quite mild on the critical of the EU and nationalism front compares to all the other blue parties: Fidesz, AfD, PiS atd.

      Honestly would not say they are any more nationalist than our leading party in the last government.

      ANO is pretty much just a populism PRO MAX party, changing tune completely everytime they find out something is popular/unpopular to keep the majority of the populace on their side, while keeping their politics mostly centrist and focused on making as much money and giving as much power to themselves as possible.

      Nice words selection.

      The other way to describe it is pro-foreign vs. pro-their-country parties.

      Suddenly implications are different, are they.

      I don’t like this way of dividing Europe. We are a continent that is not as easy right/left divided as US. European politics are way more complex and should stay this way. It keeps us from being easy manipulated like people in the US right now are.

    10. central europe as defined by pulling it right out of your butt

      can you tell me 1(one) criterium by which slovenia is not a part of it?

    11. Austrian here, and I find this deeply misleading, as it makes a sharp distinction between the Volkspartei and the FPÖ that has gone out of the window a long, long time ago. Yes, the Volkspartei is not pro-leave, but that’s really all there is, their pro-European reputation is a vestige of a time long past. They have not done anything that would further the European idea in a long time, while playing the populist game of blaming Brussels for everything bad just as well as the FPÖ.

    12. In the upper silesia PO’s advantage is only like 2% compared to PiS, solid red is misleading
