Number of seats in the German and Italian local governments[edit]

As per Volt Europa[1], there's elected Volt representatives in several German and Italian cities. I would like to add this information to the main infobox, but can't find the data on the number of total councilors in all of Germany nor Italy, like with Portugal and the Netherlands. Can anyone help find this data? Pepbob (talk) 01:05, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This could be a bit tricky, especially since in Germany there are district councils, migration advisory councils, etc. in which Volt is represented.

Besides, there are a hell of a lot of local councils in Germany. I'm not sure if there is a reliable total number for all local councils anywhere, let alone for the larger parties on their number of local councils, as this is likely to change on a daily basis throughout Germany due to the various changes.

However, it should be relatively easy to find out the number of Volt councillors, as the party lists them all on its website. There are probably around 80 councillors spread across Germany. Heideneii (talk) 19:09, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be possible to figure out a number, which is around what Heideneii said. However, it changes quite frequently so it might not be worth it. Giving a rougher overview: "in city councils in various large German, Italian, and Dutch cities" would be better. Womaninthehighcastle (talk) 11:16, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

About Sophie in 't Veld[edit]

Should that count as an official welcome from the party? https://twitter.com/d_boeselager/status/1669638223956410369 Slazac (talk) 13:29, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Straightening out the "National Sections" Part of the Article?[edit]

I think the "Nation Sections" part is too long and contains quite little interesting information, for most of the sections the information is basically that they have been registered and now exist and maybe participated in an election and did not do all to well. I think it would be more informative to summarize the main activity across all countries in a text and then simply put a table that shows where the national sections are parties and link to their articles (which in many cases also unclear if the must exist but that is better than the confused ordering now). Thoughts? Womaninthehighcastle (talk) 11:21, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Womaninthehighcastle I think this could be beneficial. Group them all in a table with a column that toggles between, maybe "Registered", "Contested elections", "Has political presence" and "Governs"? 66.181.161.136 (talk) 02:16, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The content isn't suitable for a table, even an unwieldy one as is known to grow into a maintenance nightmare fast. There's clearly more to say about some sections than others at this point, which is only natural, as is some unavoidable repetition. But it's also a start and we should keep in mind that any part could be expanded at some future time. At this point a few of them just may be regarded as of dubious notability and delivering on not much more than honorable mention or completeness sake, maybe those could better be summarized in some concluding section. Apart from that I don't see a problem with easily skipping those parts of the article where desired, it's pretty much the point of a digital encyclopedia. -149.22.91.78 (talk) 06:39, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
