How to create outlook signature

Hello Europe! Over the last 4 days, more than  400 million Europeans from 27 EU countries have   hit the polls to choose the next 720 MEP’s  in the EU Parliament for the next 5 years.   And The results are in! So, what  do they look like? Let’s dive in! Alright, so here’s the deal: there are  hundreds of national parties across all   European nation-states. Yeah, it's a bit of  a party jungle out there. But don’t worry,   we’re not going to go through  them one by one. Instead,   we’ll zoom out a bit and look at the  bigger picture on a European level. You see, these national parties team-up and  form 7 major European Political Groups. Think   of it as an Avengers-style team-up, but  for politics! For instance, in the EPP,   you have Germany's CDU/CSU, Spain's PP, and  Italy's Forza Italia, among many many others. So, who came in 7th? The LEFT in the European  Parliament group did with 35 seats, representing   left-wing parties all across Europe. Now, keep in  mind that these results aren't completely final,   but they're accurate to about 98%. The LEFT  group is composed of various parties from   different countries, with the biggest being  France's La France Insoumise with 9 seats,   Greece’s Syriza with 3 seats and  Germany's Die Linke with 2 seats. So, how did they perform compared to last time?  They experienced a small shift, losing 2 seats.   If you want more details about what they  stand for, check out the video linked above. So, who came in 6th place?  The Greens did with 53 seats,   championing environmental and progressive  causes. The Greens group is made up of   various parties from across Europe. For example,  Germany's Bündnis 90/Die Grünen with 13 seats,   France's Ecologists with 5 seats, and  the Dutch Groenlinks with 4 seats. So, how did they perform compared to  last time? Unfortunately for them,   they took a massive hit, losing 18  seats in total. Despite this setback,   they remain committed to pushing for  environmental sustainability and social   justice. If you want more details about who  they are, check out the video linked above. So, who came in 5th place? The Identity and  Democracy (I&D) group did with 58 seats,   known for their nationalist and eurosceptic  stance. The I&D group is composed of various   parties from across Europe. The biggest by  far is France's National Rally with 30 seats,   followed by the Dutch PVV party with  7 seats and Italy's Lega with 7 seats. So, how did they perform compared to last  time? They saw a noticeable change, gaining   9 seats. This gain would have been a lot more had  Germany's AfD not been kicked out of the I&D only   a couple of weeks ago, but more in this later.  This positions them as a significant force in EU   politics. And if you want more details about what  they stand for, check out the video linked above. Before we get to the top 4, have  you ever wondered about your own   family's past?

The European  Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group did with   72 seats, known for their conservative and soft  Eurosceptic policies. The ECR group is composed of   various parties from across Europe. The biggest  being Italy's Brothers of Italy (FdI) with 23   seats, Poland's Law and Justice party with  20 seats, and Spain's Vox with 6 seats. So, how did they perform compared to  last time? They saw a solid performance,   gaining 3 seats. This positions them as an even  more significant force in EU politics. And if   you want more details about what they stand  for, check out the video linked above. So, who came in 3rd place? Now we have to  start Drum roll, please! 🥁 And it is … The   centrist Renew Europe group, known for  their pro-European and liberal stance,   with a total of 83 seats. The Renew Europe  group is composed of various parties from   across Europe. The biggest parties are France's  Renaissance party and their allies with 13 seats,   Czechia’s ANO party with 7 seats, and  Progressive Slovakia with 6 seats. So, how did they perform compared to last time?  They experienced a significant downward shift,   losing a staggering 19 seats. Nonetheless,they  are still a major player in EU politics. And   if you want more details about what they  stand for, check out the video linked above. So, who’s the runner-up? Another Drum roll,   please! 🥁 The centre-left S&D group with a  total of 135 seats. The S&D group consists   the following parties from all across Europe. The  biggest are Spain Workers party with 20 seats,   Italy's Democratic Party 19 seats, and  France’s Socialist party with 13 seats. So, how did they perform compared to last  time? They actually lost a few seats – 4 of   them. But they won’t be too upset as they are  still the 2nd most dominant force. And if you   want more details about what they stand  for, check out the video linked above. So, who’s the big winner? A final drum roll,  please! 🥁 The centre-right EPP group snagged   the most seats with a total of 189. The  EPP is made up of loads of parties from   all across Europe! The biggest parties in  the EPP are Germany's CDU/CSU with 31 seats,   Spain's PP with 22 seats and Poland’s  Civic Coalition with 18 seats. So, how did they perform compared to last  time? Well, they actually gained loads of   new seats – 13 of them! This makes them  by far the largest party in EU politics.   And if you want more details about what they  stand for, check out the video linked above. So, here you have the final overview of the  European Groups! But, hold your horses—these   are the groups we've had in the previous 5-year  parliament. National parties might shuffle around,   meaning these numbers can change. And guess what?  New groups can form too. There have been rumours   of an ECR-ID supergroup that could catapult  them into 2nd place. Or maybe Meloni’s party   will ditch the ECR and join forces with Von der  Leyen in the EPP group. While both of these moves   are long shots, they're still in the realm of  possibility. Plus, you may have noticed earlier,   there are 95 MEPs in the non-aligned pile, meaning  they do not have a political affiliation yet.   This includes Germany’s AfD and Hungary’s  Fidesz camp. They could jump ship and join   one of these groups to beef them up. What  I am trying to say is, a lot can change! So, what did we learn? Well, it looks like  the right-wing had quite a party! All the   right-leaning groups in the EU parliament gained  extra MEPs, and that's not even counting the AfD   folks who are currently flying solo. Ursula  von der Leyen was the star of the show,   snagging the most seats and adding 13 more to  her tally from last time. On the flip side,   the Greens and Liberals had a bit of a rough  night, losing the most seats. This was so shocking   that Macron is calling for a French election  after his poor showing against Marine Le Pen,   and the Belgian Prime Minister even resigned after  his party's defeat. But in a nutshell, the EPP,   S&D, and Renew Europe still have the majority if  you add up their seats. So, we’ll most likely have   the same coalition as last time.
