Infobox election edit

Latest comment: 10 years ago5 comments2 people in discussion

My Changes are regarding the changes on 8 March 2014‎ from User:RJFF [1] From my perspective in the infobox election only parties are mentioned which already have gained a seat and also will contest again. So these are SPÖ, ÖVP, Martin's List, FPÖ, Greens and The Reform Conservatives REKOS. Further you can't argue why a party with no seat in the european parliament should be favoured to one that already has. However in my opinion we should wait until 11th April 2014 (Referenced here) on that day the candidates that run for election will be finally fixated. It might happen that Martin's List doesn't even candidate a third time. --Ukrainskij254 (talk) 06:38, 9 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

I assume RJFF is unwilling to talk. --Ukrainskij254 (talk) 17:48, 13 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

I think the infobox should include ALL 9 parties that OFFICIALLY QUALIFIED for the ballot. Why should there be a difference between those who are in the EP right now and those who are not - when they in fact qualified like the "established" parties as well ? Besides, 9 parties in the infobox doesn't make the page "blown up" or anything and is still very much readable. Also, Europa Anders now has a decent chance to enter the EP (they are currently at 3% - with an upward trend, so the argument "they have no chance to be elected to the EP" does not matter really.

I agree and like the new info box very much. Regardless of which of this 9 parties is successfull, we already can react on the elections results on 25th May 2014 and don't have to chance the entire article. Thank you! --Ukrainskij254 (talk) 00:41, 7 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Exactly ! :-) The next thing I'll do is to include a blank results section, so we can enter the results when they come in on May 25. Also: Ukrainskij254, do you have any pictures from Angelika Werthmann and Robert Marschall, so we can complete the infobox with these 2 missing pictures ? Thanks.
