European Parliament 2009 - Offical Results Thread

[The Man From G.O.P.]

PdL at 35% is a very disappointing result for them.Anything less than 40% would have been bad,35% is very bad.
26% is barely decent for PD,but at least it will survive.Should I remind you that only a few months ago Veltroni resigned and it seemed that PD was on the verge of an incredibly humiliating defeat?Also,the Radicali got almost 3%,and they were with PD in 2008.So,overall,decent result.
I am sad that Sinistra e Libertà didn't make it,they have a good programme,a good leader and good candidates.Much better than the Rifondazione crap.
Also,funny that in the North-East PdL got only 0.07% more than PD.

What ever makes you happy man.

Eh, I think polling five percent under what was expected is disappointing but hardly a disaster give the circumstances. 

You must be logged in to read this quote.

So, instead of an incredibly humiliating defeat, you just simply got defeated. Good enough. 

By the way, I'll remind you to get on my case when my side loses in American elections. 

What ever makes you happy man.

Go easy. He's a young socialist in Italy. It's not easy for them these days. We should be able to relate as young conservative Republicans in the U.S.

I don't know how easy this would be but I was wondering if someone could make a list of how many MEP each EP party has.  Wikipedia has some lists but I'm not really sure how accurate they are (France for example appears to have 73 MEPs while the Italian PD is listed as a PES party, which I think is inaccurate).  Also, I may be wrong about this, but it looks like I/D will collapse due to its small number of MEPs.

Some people seem to forget that PD a few months ago,when Veltroni resigned,was on the verge of political death.So yes,keeping Berlusconi below 40% and getting 26% when polls gave us barely 20% 3 months ago is a decent result,in my opinion.

Great stuff!  Thanks!

I live in the NW, and am quite angry and depressed this morning. The BNP victory comes from apathy, not a surge in their support, or an increase in their share of the vote. I cannot stand the idea of being represented by Nick Griffin, it's a dire state of affairs,

But positivity must come from this. We must all work as hard as we can to defeat them in the coming months and years. Starting now.

The most disturbing is in fact LAOS getting a second seat and 7%.

The most disturbing is in fact LAOS getting a second seat and 7%.

The most disturbing is that this looks like the entire Green vote came from people who would have voted Syriza. I DEMAND A MERGER!

Nobody posted the three results I didn't post last night, so here they are

Saxony-Anhalt
CDU 29.1 (-5.2), Left 23.6 (-0.1), SPD 18.1 (-0.4), FDP 8.6 (+3.0), Greens 5.4 (+0.9)
Thuringia
CDU 31.1 (-6.7), Left 23.8 (-1.5), SPD 15.7 (+0.3), FDP 8.2 (+4.0), Greens 5.8 (+0.3)
Saxony
CDU 35.3 (-1.2), Left 20.1 (-3.4), SPD 11.7 (-0.2), FDP 9.8 (+4.6), Greens 6.7 (+0.6)
Yeah, one in six voters in this region voted for one of the other 26 lists... with no individual list getting more than ca. 2.5%.

No prices for guessing which states held local elections at the same time.

I may be wrong about this (if someone from Greece knows more about the issue I would be happy to hear what they think), but from what I understand much of the Greens' polling strength came from disappointed ND supporters who ended up voting for LAOS after a video came out where the leader of the Greens was caught saying that FYROM should be allowed to call themselves whatever they want and that Greece should honor Kemal Ataturk (the founder of the Turkish nation who was born in Greek territory, but isn't very popular in Greece because he is considered responsible for the massacre of the Greek populations in Asia Minor).  I assume some voters might have also gotten confused because there were several Green parties on the ballot and 2 other Green parties received approximately 1% each.

SYRIZA from what I understand lost much of its strength for 2 reasons.  The first one was their opposition to the construction of a mall in Athens and the ongoing legal battle has delayed the construction of a soccer stadium, which has angered the fans of the team that would be using it.  The second one is because they are considered responsible for the vandalisms that took place in December.  SYRIZA is my favorite party in the greek parliament because they're the only ones that support gay marriage and fight for environmental issues, but they don't really have a base and the low turn-out hurt them.  Their leader actually asked the Greens to cooperate after the elections, but I doubt it will happen, as the Greens are not very fond of the far-left factions within SYRIZA.

Danish results:

Social Democrats: 21,5 % (-11,1) 4 M (-1)
Social-liberal Party: 4,3 % (-2,1) 0 M (-1)
Conservative Party: 12,7 % (+1,3) 1 M
Socialist People's Party: 15,9 % (+7,9) 2 M (+1)
Liberal Alliance: 0,6 % 0 M
June Movement: 2,4 % (6,7) 0 M (-1)
People's Movement Againt the EU: 7,2 % (+2,0) 1 M
Danish People's Party 15,3 % (+8,5) 2 M (+1)
Left, Denmark's Liberal Party: 20,2 % (0,9) 3 M

SF was only 2000 votes from gaining a 3th seat (from SD). SF and DF got their best ever elections, the movements their worst. June Movement is a goner. SD only lost 1 mandate despite losing a third of their votes thanks to their electoral alliance with SF and RV. If that alliance had not been in place the Conservatives would have won the 13th mandate in stead of SD.

Ditto. I'm also from the north-west and feel completely ashamed at the thought of being represented by him.

In Romania, the pre-election-polls nailed the tight race shown in the exit polls:

Exit poll by CCSB for Antena 3:

PSD+PC: 30.7
PDL: 30.4
PNL: 15.4
UDMR: 10.4
PRM: 6.8
Elena Basescu: 3.6

Exit poll by Insomar for Realitatea TV:

PSD+PC: 31.0
PDL: 30.4
PNL: 16.6
UDMR: 9.1
PRM: 7.2
Elena Basescu: 3.4
PNTCD: 1.3
Pavel Abraham: 0.6
Forta Civica: 0.4

"Party Girl" fails to win a seat in the EP after all ...

It seems that I was wrong. Elena Basescu got 4.2% and therefore a seat in the EP.

I thought that there was a 5% hurdle in Romania, but it seems that this is not valid for Independents.

Anyway, Basescu joined the PDL (EPP-ED) of her Father (The President) after her victory.
