EP elections 2014 - Results Thread

[Zanas]

Few surprises for the Netherlands. PVV was a bit higher in the polls, I don't know if it can be any indication of how the eurosceptic far-right will underperform their polling scores ? I guess we'll be able to check with Ukip later.

PvdD wasn't anywhere near 4.2% in the polls though, was it ? I'm glad as well. Anybody know where they would sit ? I would guess Greens/EFA, but I don't know how their relations with GroenLinks are.

Also, I had compensated SP's lead over PvdA in my prediction, but not enough. Never, ever, enough. Sigh...

edit : I'm forgetting that these are only exit polls. Never do that, you fool! So take the above with all the grains of salt it needs...

I've just spent way too much of my normally sleeping time to calculate this entirely useless figure for you : all it would have taken for LibDem to be wiped out of the EP completely would be 67 more Ukip votes and 27934 more Tory votes in the South-East constituency, all things equal.

So close !

Also, L'Altra Europa con Tsipras is now at 4.07%, it's a real nailbiter to see if they're coming in or out due to the 4% threshold... In the real count, the tendency has been downwards all the way, so I'm not optimistic...

This is appalling by all means.

Eastern Haute-Vienne has always been my refuge-to-be of choice.

And Tsipras will get in! Narrowly, but still, that means my vote almost made a difference.

It made a difference. Be smarter than the other kids ! Every vote does make a difference even if the winning margin is not one vote in the end. This cliché is annoying. I guess it's an American thing.

So what's the deal with N-VA ? I read on another forum that they were still included on the Greens-EFA group's website, but I can't find evidence of that.
