I've noticed that the SNP have started drawing up a candidate list for a hypothetical European election. Taken from the 'elections' section in the SNP's intranet.

Three Spanish regionalist parties have announced they'll be standing on a joint list in May. The left-leaning ERC, Bildu and BNG (from Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia respectively) will once again co-operate in order to give themselves a better chance at greater representation, this time under the name Ahora Repúblicas (Republics Now).
The group is also being supported by micro-parties from Aragon, Asturias and the Canary Islands. The launch was announced in Brussels yesterday, although the formation/continuation of the alliance had been known about for weeks.
For European elections, all of Spain is treated as one huge multi-member constituency with MEPs chosen via closed national lists. Polls indicate only the ERC would be in a position to win a seat or two if it were to stand in its own right in the spring. The top 2 on the list are from that party anyway – although the first of those is currently in prison – with a BNG candidate not appearing until a somewhat optimistic position number 5.

And what's with "Compromis" (Valencia) and UM (BalearicIslands!? are part of the ' Primavera Europea' (European Spring) list alongside various centre-left regionalists such as the Chunta Aragonesista, Nueva Canarias, the Partido Castellano, the Unión del Pueblo Leonés and the Coalición por Melilla. By 'UM' I presume you mean the Unió Mallorquina. I don't have any details of plans for them to contest the European election, either separately or jointly with other parties, I'm afraid. In the unlikely event you were referring to the Unió M enorquina: they are part of the Proposta per les Illes (Proposal for the Islands) group, which in turn belongs to the Coalición por Europa list headed by the Coalición Canaria. |

They once launched a campaign for a smaller Hungary to make fun of Hungarian irredentists (the shape of their proposed "Small Hungary" is the same as that of the pre-1918 state) -  "For a Smaller Hungary!
Are you confused by stupid dialects?
Do you have time to travel for hours to get somewhere in this country?
Do you want to remember the names of so many county towns?
Do you give a damn about Baranya?" |

We have taken an interest at improving the rail tracks of the lost lands. Got rid of these: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laetare_de_Stavelot. Its a bit sad that we did loose our only volcano.  |

The pensionists on the northern coast go to Blackpool or Brighton, Glamorgan is made independent, what leaves the NW around Caernarvon. |

German&Austrian NewsPapers are full of Orban's quite inevitable departure/expulsion from the EPP. FI, PP, LR won't be happy, but CDU is crucial here and even CSU has to support its Weber now.
Speculations are, that the EPP could lose other EastEuropeans (Bulgaria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia), too.
