LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST! Elections in Lux and the EP: Generation2004 is expanding

  • Generation2004 has been participating in the Local Staff Committee elections in the COMMISSION IN LUXEMBOURG and in the European Parliament. In Luxembourg, Generation2004 scored 19.96% of the votes which is a remarkable result for a group that entered the election campaign only three weeks ago. However, due to the design of the voting system, which in our view rewards excessively the formation of majorities, this figure translates only into 2 seats out of 20 (i.e. 10%), while proportionality would have justified 4. We firmly believe that this electoral system with its incomprehensible vote counting, gerrymandered (or tailor-made) for one single big union ‒ who got (only) 36% of votes, but took 65% of the seats (13 all together) ‒ should be radically changed.
