How many authorities are there to count in the UK? BBC says 205 have been counted. Are they the same as parliamentary constituencies?

No, they use local authorities. 326 in England, 32 in Scotland, 22 in Wales, 11 or 26 in NI (depends if they use previous or next authorities). At least one will be missing tonight, as there is some backwards religious islands in Scotland refusing to count on Sunday, since it's a day for God, if I remember well.

Those 'backwards' islands produce the most wondrous cloth known to man, so don't be rude.

That cloth being?

Marine Le Pen should try to get maybe one of Germans, like ÖDP or FAMILIE. Korwin-Mikke is too libertarian to be one of her group. Or she should go "pragmatical" and accept Jobbik, at least.

The ÖDP is a center-right ecologist party. What it would do with Le Pen?

Apparently, the Farage-Grillo (EFDD) group in European Parliament will be dissolved as the Latvian MEP (Green and Farmers) defected to EPP, leaving them short of one country (they need 7).
