I'm surprised SYRIZA was so low, actually - lower than in the last legislative elections. Weren't they supposed to win about 30% ?

Seriously, you can stop fantasizing about Jobbik joining Le Pen. Just type Jobbik in Google Images if you don't understand why.

Yeah, even Le Pen doesn't want such bad publicity.

Elections are supposed to have a veneer of responsibility attached to them

Yes, but a European Election is not a real election but an electoral type event.

European Elections are whatever we make of them.

Rubbish. They are what the European Commission makes of them (which is usually very little).

The European Commission is whatever national governments make of it.

Grillo has applied to join the Greens (something I predicted awhile ago)

Well, then the best move would have been to accept, in order to expose Grillo's hypocrisy if he eventually renege on his adhesion. By rejecting it they're legitimizing him in seeking alliance with Farage.

The "True Finns" may not be the worst far-right party in Europe, but they have the most disgustingly xenophobic name possible.

If Juncker does not become President of the Commission, that's going to be a disaster. Obviously, he was not my candidate when I casted my ballot, but if you first tell the electorate they will have a saying in electing President, and then you're starting to screw with it, it's pretty much destroys what remains of dream about Democratic EU.

Well, in fairness, it's not like Europeans seemed to care about the choice either. Considering how little publicity it has drawn, most probably didn't even know they were supposed to choose the commission's president.

Haha, it would be hilarious to see M5S fail to form a group with UKIP after Grillo has spent so much time shoving this agreement down the throats of his own base.

Who's the FN renegade? Does it have anything to do with the ongoing new guard/old guard tensions?
