Gareth Joswig schreibt für die taz über die AFD im Europäischen Parlament. "Die teilnehmenden Parteien der neuen Fraktion, an der nun die AfD beteiligt ist, lesen sich wie ein Who's who der durchgeknallten Rechtsextremen und Ultranationalisten Europas." taz.de/Neue-AfD-Fra... #EUPolitics

This evening, ENG tries its luck / defensive strength against NED in the first semi-final of #EURO2024, with the two teams having similar ELO rankings.
Spain has already won against France and is considered the favorite in Sunday's championship game.

Last week, Germany's chancellor Scholz claimed to exchange messages with Macron each day about the elections. My feeling is that he will continue this for the next weeks, too, until a working government is formed. German-language source: www.spiegel.de/politik/deut... #FrenchPolitics

There are many actors, and it will be some long days until a government can be formed. The projected high number of seats would give NFP and Ens some wiggle room to lose their most stubborn members for a compromise coalition. Here, "who are the actual incoming representatives?" comes into play, too.

Die nächsten Stunden werden das Ergebnis konkretisieren. Und dann werden wohl viele Gespräche geführt werden müssen. Mir sind die Gepflogenheiten in Frankreich unklar, zum Beispiel ob in in einer Koalition die stärkste Fraktion den Ministerpräsidenten stellen würde.

Ich weiß nicht, was die Presse daraus machen wird. In den nächsten Tagen wird es politisch darum gehen, eine tatsächlich tragfähige Regierung zu bauen. Vorher kann Macron / seine Strategie nicht beurteilt werden. 🤔 Die Aufrufe der "Ensemble"-Leute zur Zusammenarbeit mit der NFP kamen denkbar spät.

The successful strategy against the far-right was initiated by NFP.
As they also won most seats and more votes, it is to be expected that one of their people will become premier.
Politicking will take place after completion of counting votes.

#FrenchElections2024 update!
It is kinda early to go into detailed discussions, but the broad picture is clear:
NFP / Ens won as a bloc against far-right RN (Le Pen).
Now, this bloc needs positive projects and a strategy for 2027's presidential election.

US #Election2024 update: 🇺🇸📊
The #FiveThirtyEight forecast has returned to the 50-50 mark.
They write "New economic data at the end of last week also helped boost Biden’s outlook as far as the “fundamentals” are concerned, counteracting Trump’s gains in the polls."

⚽📊 My #ELO model subtracted points from ESP, FRA and ENG for drawing after 90 minutes in their games. With backpropagation active, the following tier list of the tournament is put forth:
S-tier: ESP.
A-tier: GER, FRA.
B-tier: NED, ENG, POR, SUI, AUT.

#EURO2024 has come closer to its end, only four teams remain in the tournament. I fed all matches so far into my ELO-based model and find the probable outcomes (pic).
The overall probabilities to win the championship are:
ESP 37%,
FRA 23%,
NED 22%,
ENG 18%. ⚽📊

🤩 GER-ESP yesterday was a most beautiful match, even when the sudden loss felt bitter 😐. The first semi-final will now be ESP-FRA on Tuesday, and might be equally combative.
Today's ENG-SUI and NED-TUR have good chances of being draws after 90 minutes, too. ⚽📊

To beat the odds, one can bet against the trend!⚽📊
Model probabilities vs #AlleGegenPistor bets ("Tipptrend"):
ESP-GER: 45-30-25 vs 28-24-48;
POR-FRA: 20-30-50 vs 20-20-60.
Notice the overrepresentation of "GER wins" in bets.
Would you shift your bet and hope for an advantage? 🤔 #EURO2024 #EM2024

I will hope to climb some ranks in the WDR betting game #AllesGegenPistor during the quarter finals. Overall, I am happy about the performance of my ELO model (helped with a random number generator, and some gut feeling for the actual number of goals in a game) here.

Thank you for participating in yesterday's poll!
The result is that model A won. I now use it for ELO rankings and predictions.
It uses backpropagation and k=0.5, which is the optimal choice regarding the probabilities it has predicted for the past matches.

I've no doubt that the debate really is hurting Biden, but it's also worth bearing this in mind—written a month ago about Trump's felony conviction.

Repost for the evening crowd!
This A/B testing is asking which of these two ELO rankings for #EURO2024 is your favorite.
Model A sees ESP, FRA, GER, ENG, NED, POR as the true order.
Model B prefers FRA, ESP, ENG, GER, POR, NED.

I would also be very interested in your motivations, either way you decide. Is there a special team you have strong opinions about? For me, this would be England because I really disliked their group-stage matches and just stopped watching 😅👍

My #SoccerPredictor modeling for #EURO2024 stands before a big question: Will backwards propagation help?
From performance measures, both sub-models (with and without it) work equally well. So I am asking you: Which model gives the better ELO rankings table, A or B? Cast your vote! ⚽📊 #ABTesting
