EP elections 2014 - Results Thread

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Labour change on 2009 for regions fully counted:

North East +11.5
Yorkshire & Humber +10.5
East Midlands +8.1
Wales +7.8
Eastern +6.8
South West +6.1

Still no authorities counted from London...

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

[afleitch]

Labour only 10,000 votes ahead of the Tories across the whole of the UK. London is still to declare and it's safe to say that will probably widen significantly! It is better for the Tories than the polls were suggesting which is of some comfort.

[Joe Republic]

Anyone care to explain the hilarious Gibraltar result?

... which was?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I suspect Labour might have done somewhat better had the Party actually run a campaign that extended beyond a freepost leaflet. This isn't much of an exaggeration, alas. European Elections don't matter (of course) but that's not an excuse, as they have an impact on local elections held on the same day (and they do matter). A certain D.A. ought to be fired.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

North West region has the biggest Labour increase in so far (13%). Anyway. No more Nick Griffin MEP!
