What's this?

Meep Meep catalogs various achievements and gaffes of our European politicians, in this modern world that confounds them so.

We informally rank Members of Parliament (MEPs) based on specific statements, decisions and events, focusing on issues relevant for the new political generation. Our core themes are:

  • Digital Freedom: Strong protections to live our digital lives
  • Enlightened Policy: Wise, fair and transparent policy making
  • Tolerant Humanism: Respectful and proportional rights and freedoms

Meep Meep is a young project, created in the run up to the 2019 European elections. We will continue to refine our model and add more data points.
