The list I voted for (Hamon's Génération.s) won 3.3%. That's better than I expected honestly.
It's illegal to vote in two different countries for European elections.
If I'd voted in Italy I guess I would have voted for the "united" leftist list, which got 1.7% (which is a stunningly bad result even by the standards of the Italian left). Or possibly Bonino's list to own the Euroskeptics, although she's way to my right economically (it got 3%).
It's been pretty disastrous across the board for the True Left - Melenchon's bunch humbled, Podemos crushed (Iglesias has got to be thinking of resigning, no?), Die Linke recedes, Sinn Fein wiped out, Dutch Socialists gone, Austrians, Polish and Italians nowhere to be seen, Syriza hit hard, Czech Communists on death's door etc.
How did Sinn Fein get wiped out? Their NI member retained her seat, and the estimates for the ROI suggest they went down from 19.5% to about 13%--- not really a wipe out
