EP elections 2014 - Results Thread

[Tender Branson]

The BZÖ btw. is as dead as they can get.

[windjammer]

I'm happy for the results in Austria seriously.
In 2009, the far right + the europhobic got a far bigger score (35%).
Now, they just got 20%.

24-25% for the far right + the europhobics.

FPÖ+EU-STOP+REKOS+BZÖ

But it's still far less than the last time Tender Branson

Yeah, but HP Martin's list in 2004 and 2009 didn't really fit the "euro-phobic" label: Martin was not xenophobic at all and was mostly running on an anti-corruption platform, not an anti-EU campaign ("abolish this and abolish that and get out of this and that ...")

All things considered, strong SPD result.

LAOS 1.5-2.5
Others 9-10.5

[Hifly]

What the hell? Hopefully postals will help CDU grow. Are they counted tonight too?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

So is PASOK just...gone, or has it been subsumed into Elia for these purposes, or what?

PASOK still exists.  Elia is an alliance of PASOK and other center-left parties.  They did surprisingly well so who knows they might stick with the Elia name since PASOK is toxic.

Wonderful results from Lech/Zürs and surrounding areas, as usual.

I know a guy that lives in Lech... He says his family is about the only one that votes SPÖ

What is his surname?

Jehle, like one half of Lech in total, I think

Also, why has the SPÖ done so well in Rietz??

Well, there are many railway workers living in Rietz, but the SPÖ trend has only been in the last couple of elections. I can't really explain why, it's very interesting though
I'll do some research in the next couple of days, talk with some people who might know why, then I can tell you.

Counting pretty quick here and if the Frankfurt trends would translate to national results - but I guess they don't; there are a few relevant local factors after all - then the SPD should have a much better night, and the CDU a far worse, than what the exit polls show. As in, with a third of the city in the SPD is leading... and it's not that the Greens and Left are doing that badly, either. That shouldn't translate to that much of a CDU-CSU national lead, really.)

Just for hilarity, here's my precinct
turnout 383 voters or 30.3% (plus postal voters that is) of which one invalid
SPD 107 votes, Greens 84, CDU 75, Left 47, AfD 21, FDP 18, Pirates 14, PARTEI 10.

I'm one of the ten, dithered between that and Pirate. ZDF now says they may make it into the European Parliament. (Because noone can manage to spend the kind of money the EP pays its MPs in the long run, the PARTEI has nominated 60 candidates all promising to resign after a month. Gotta love national PR with no threshold. We'll get many, many joke MEPs from Germany this year.)

Hi Tender,

Am I the only one thinking this is really disappointing for the FPÖ. Should have done much better surely?

NPD is apparently winning a seat too.

Would have been shocking if they hadn't. Under 0.5% would be phenomenal.

What is his surname?

Jehle, like one half of Lech in total, I think

I don't know anyone with that surname in Lech- the most common surnames are Schneider and Walch I think. Tell him that his family is doing injustice to the village by voting SPOe

Also, why has the SPÖ done so well in Rietz??

Well, there are many railway workers living in Rietz, but the SPÖ trend has only been in the last couple of elections. I can't really explain why, it's very interesting though
I'll do some research in the next couple of days, talk with some people who might know why, then I can tell you.

Yes it is really strange to have such a massive increase in the SPOe vote which stands out from surrounding areas. I'd be interested to hear why. Are there maybe any local SPOe members who did a lot of campaigning?

Only one would arguably be mildly surprising.

Found a precinct in Frankfurter Berg that reported 0 votes for AfD and 16 for PSG.
They were next to each other on the ballot paper; no cookies for guessing what happened here.

Hi Peter,

the FPÖ underpolled a bit, yeah, but considering that their supporters are amongst the most unlikely to vote, their result is not all too bad.

NEOS had a really bad day.

PS: Good to see Lewis back too !

[Filuwaúrdjan]

We will have lots of joke MEPs as well, but for a different reason

[Tender Branson]

98.65% of Austria counted (only 2 Vienna districts left):

27.4% ÖVP
23.8% SPÖ
19.5% FPÖ
15.1% Greens
  7.9% NEOS
  6.4% Others

Turnout figures in Spain look not very good for PP. At 18:00 it was 34.05% (+0.26%) and the trend of differential regional turnout continues. Turnout in Catalonia was 35,52% (+8,75%), whereas in PP strongholds is decreasing.

[windjammer]

I can announce you that the far right in France will perform much more than expected...
