i'm just wondering, if it's "just a normal day in berlin" - why did it make national headlines?

pretty sure you're lying again in order to fearmonger but hey, that's nothing new - just wanted to point that out to people who might fall for your propaganda because they don't understand german...

Interesting, but are the three right-wing parties really split as much in every district? Or are their national percentages just split on the national level, but coming from non-overlapping regional strongholds?

For example, I've heard that VOX is very strong in Andalusia.


The split varies in different districts. VOX is strongest in rural areas and big cities with a strong unionist sentiment (Madrid and Valencia). C's is strongest in urban areas over all. PP is strongest in rural areas (more so than VOX, due to PP having an already more established voter base there).

VOX and C's are almost nonexistent in Navarra and Euskadi, due to their stance against the medieval privileges the regions have, which allow them to have their own taxing and financial system. They're also weak in Galicia, where PP is absurdly strong (they have a comfortable absolute majority in the regional parliament.. the only one out of the 17 regional parliaments where a party has an absolute majority). Meanwhile, PP is pretty much dead in Catalonia, where unionists felt betrayed by Rajoy's lack of actions during the separatist crisis... and that sentiment hasn't changed with Casado, who despite being much more aggressive than Rajoy, is an overall awful candidate.

It's hard to say right now, as I'm sure that voting dynamics will change over the next month, but it's likely that C's finishes ahead in some constituencies, while PP will do so in others (I doubt that VOX will beat both C's and PP in any, but they will likely beat one of them in several constituencies).

The main issue for these parties is that they will likely earn at least 10% in almost every single constituency... but in most constituencies (3-6 seats), you are unlikely to get a seat if you don't get around 13-19% of the votes (the threshold varies depending on the seats assigned to the constituency, as well as the results of the other parties, due to how the D'Hondt system works)... and it's unlikely that all 3 anti-Sánchez parties will be able to reach that threshold consistently. This is why PP is so far centering its campaign around them being the party of the "utility vote", and going as far as asking C's and VOX to not run in the smaller constituencies.

this kind of incident being a daily occurrence in berlin is NOT a fact. it's the exact opposit of a fact: it's #fake news / propaganda / fearmongering / lie - call it what you will, but it's simply not true. again, if this were a daily thing it would not have made national headlines - you are such a hack for even suggesting it was. something that can be so easily refuted...

concerning the incident itself: ridiculous behaviour, i don't even know exactly what this is all about, some youtubers that got upset over 'yo mama' jokes or something? anyway, bunch of morons, i personally think it's a shame that not more got arrested to think about their behaviour to be quite honest...

this specific large-scale migrant brawl did make headlines because a lot of youtubers were involved. however, there are frequent brawls all over the country between non-famous migrants that the national press is quiet about, and that you only hear about in the local press.

so the brawl itself was indeed normal, the only non-normal thing about it is that it broke into mainstream news.

holy shit, that's not just moving the goalpoast anymore, you're relocating the whole field!

brawls of this size are NOT a common occurrence, no matter how desperately you fearmongers try to suggest that. and of course for you poor propaganda victims it's all about the 'migrants' - why am i not surprised that this is the reason you lie about the matter? you guys are obsessed...

People's vote march in London has a million turnout, Corbyn nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, the deputy leader of the labour party has a lot more sense and is promising to back May's deal IF the people can then vote on whether they want it or to remain. As someone that was initially opposed to a 2nd ref, I think that is a fair proposition.

... according to the organisers. Just sayin'...

Anyway, it's definitely several hundred thousand protesters, which is impressive either way.
