Getting tight in Italia...

   L'ALTRA EUROPA CON TSIPRAS   908.985   4,07%
   FRATELLI D'ITALIA - ALLEANZA NAZIONALE      789.188   3,54%

[Zanas]

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...

[Simfan34]

Also TOP 09 won the most seats!

Lol Mayenne, lol Centre-de-Bretagne

This is appalling by all means.

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

[Keystone Phil]

Looks like Tsipras is going to just squeak by.

Sinn Fein came in first in the Republic? I'm seeing articles that suggest it but they all beat around the bush. What's going on?

They were leading in the polls before the election.  It wouldn't be that big of a surprise

EU wide the composition is almost the same as the last elections. Some Greens gains at the Socialists expense.

Why are no American users posting here ?

We always post in their elections, so why not return the favour ?

I'm trying to put the European Parliament in context but it's confusing even after reading the Wikipedia entries (no legislative initiative, its power relative to all the Commissions/Councils, etc).

Is it wrong to view this election as basically an EU-equivalent of a House of Representatives election here in the U.S.?

Have to say all that proportional representation is pretty awesome.

wtf France

After decades of darkness, Italy is back on the right track.

One of your two countries improves, while the other slides further into the abyss...

Yorkshire and the Humber: UKIP 3, LAB 2, CON 1

at UKIP topping the poll.

Results by authority available in this PDF.

UKIP carried both N Lincs and NE Lincs, Rotherham, Doncaster, Wakefield, Calderdale, York, the East Riding unitary, Hull, Selby and Scarborough & Whitby.  Some of these (Donny, York, Calderdale) were close, others (especially the two Lincs districts) were not.

Labour carried Sheffield, Barnsley (just), Kirklees, Leeds and Bradford.  Bradford was the one place which seemed noticeably good for Labour.

The Tories carried Craven, Harrogate, Hambleton, Richmondshire and Ryedale.

Full results from Sheffield:
Lab 47571 (33.6%)
UKIP 39139 (27.6%)
Green 17288 (12.2%)
Con 15329 (10.8%)
Lib Dem 14299 (10.2%)
An Independence From Europe 2397 (1.7%)
BNP 2214 (1.6%)
Yorkshire First 1506 (1.1%)
Eng Dem 1309 (0.9%)
No2EU 452 (0.3%)

Compared with the local elections on the same day, Labour were down 2.9 percentage points, UKIP up 4.7, the Greens down 0.2, the Tories up 3.7 and the Lib Dems down 7.6.  No2EU got less than a fifth of TUSC's local election vote.

Nice results. UKIP topping the poll, the Tories not doing too badly, the Lib Dems getting kicked in (though that expected by now) and the Greens actually going backwards (vote wise). Of course, these results don't really mean much, but nevermind that. First time a party other than the Conservatives or Labour has topped the poll in a nationwide election since 1910! If you'll pardon my use of cliche, that's got to be one for the history books.

Now, off to see if Dan Hodges has tried to claim that this is actually a disaster for UKIP and Labour, with the real winners of this election being the Lib Dems.

I would rather someone protest vote than not vote at all. Getting off your arse to express your displeasure is more effective.

Wow, this map is depressing:

This was one of the sweetest election nights of my life.
It's funny how we "saved" the European center-left,for once

This, on the other hand, is a very beautiful map:
