EP elections 2014 - Results Thread

Those 'backwards' islands produce the most wondrous cloth known to man, so don't be rude.

That cloth being?

Harris Tweed. And it is a fine cloth.

Frankly they could burn people alive as human sacrifices for real and I wouldn't mind so long as they keep making that stuff...

[Kushahontas]

Greens gain the LibDem seat lol

[Lief 🗽]

Still no authorities counted from London...

[swl]

Have you seen Valls and Copé talking? There is not much to expect from these guys. Vall's speech was particularly embarrassing for him... It seems so fake. They keep talking about job and growth, but are not able to give a single idea or proposition. Who expects anything from them? They all say they are patriots. Is a patriot to consider us like idiots or cowards who cannot hear the truth?

I am a 20-something from a place no one cares about, most of us are struggling a bit but we know we will cope, we need some leaders who acknowledge that not everything is all right and who want to do something about it

People are trying to find a way to get rid of them, and the only way they find is to vote for Le Pen. Many of my friends voted FN, they have more 30% over here, 35% in big cities like Perpignan or Béziers...

Eastern +6.8
South West +6.1

London local elections take forever to count, which means they're way behind on this one. And local elections come first because they actually matter.

London just takes forever to count elections full stop.  (This is not a dig at Tower Hamlets, this is a dig at every London borough.)

doesn't look like they've started, Sadiq Khan seems to be all on his Jack Jones at City Hall

[Diouf]

Wov, Renzi seems to be absolutely destroying the other parties. It even looks like Alfano's NCD/UDC will not make it above the threshold. PD must clearly become the second biggest national party delegation in the EP and narrow some of the gap between the EPP and S&D.

[You kip if you want to...]

Worst Tory result in history? Like... since the 1670s?

[afleitch]

Vote dump from Glasgow. On the sub council level, the SNP topped the poll in Southside and in Kelvin and Labour in the other seats.

No, because European elections are not national elections. You're better than this.

[afleitch]

Twitter is good for two things. Getting results and people not 'getting' the results

[politicus]

15,7% to  Forza Italia is a sweet result. Much "better" than expected.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Foucaulf (on IRC) has worked out that the LibDems are in deep sh!t for their 'safe' SE seat, even.

[Mogrovejo]

PS (@PES_PSE) 8-10 PSD + CDS-PP (@EPP) 7-9 PCP (@GUENGL) 2-4 BE (@GUENGL) 1 Earth Party (MPT) 0-1

ÖDP will get  its sister party in.

In which parliamentary group will the ODP sit, by the way?

If exit polls are accurate, the MPT is ahead of the BE and has a decent chance of electing a 2nd MEP (it'll be between a 2nd one for them and a 9th for the PS).

I am not sure in which group the ÖDP will be, but i would bet the join the Green parlamentary group.

2 Seats for the MTP would be a sensation

They just elected the 2nd one and confirmed they'll join the Greens/EFA group. Going to be amusing once Marinho Pinto starts one of his "gay lobby" rants.

That's Scotland in now bar the Western Isles

SNP 28.9
LAB 25.9
CON 17.2
UKIP 10.4
GRN 8.1

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Lowest Labour increase so far (just 5%), but then a Scot was leader in 2009.

[Keystone Phil]

These are very early results in Italy. Are they from leftist strongholds or will this be reflective of the overall results?

[rob in cal]

Also of interest is that An Independence from Europe, the English Democrats, the BNP, and a few other such splinter parties who might have potential pro-UKIP voters, are getting over 3% of the vote.

[You kip if you want to...]

Anyone care to explain the hilarious Gibraltar result?

[Chancellor of the Duchy of Little Lever and Darcy Lever]

NW England has declared: 3 Lab 3 UKIP 2 C.

Bye bye Griffin, hope the door hits you on the way out.
