    This is going very well it seems! I see the next few countries close to passing the threshold are:

    • Denmark (88%)
    • Netherlands (87%)
    • Germany (75%)

    Assuming we get those, we would need one more country. The highest remaining country is Ireland (55%). Getting all those still wouldn’t reach 1M signatures, but the rest could keep being distributed across the EU (even including countries which have already passed the threshold, I’m assuming).

    This is all very exciting and gives me a lot of hope! Keep signing folks!

      You assume correctly

    While we’re on the topic of EU initiatives, the tax the rich initiative still needs signatures. It aims to set a floor on tax rates for the very wealthy, and have member states use that new money for environment, employment and social policies.

    They’ve hit the threshold for France and Germany, but still need more signatures everywhere else.

      Nah, France and Spain. We only need 7 countries to pass their thresholds, and after that, only raw numbers matter. We need the big population centers, and France and Spain are way behind Germany.
