Does anyone have a link to the British edition of BBC news? All those I've found are region-locked.

Does it have to be BBC? Sky News is available on YouTube.

I guess I can go for that. I like the style and tone of the BBC better though.

The wait for official results to be released at 11pm is highly annoying ...

I think the EU should punish Italy for being such dicks. Italy it seems does not care about old people like me who have to get up early tomorrow for work. I think they should return South Tyrol to Austria as punishment.

Finland 100% counted:

National Coalition Party (EPP) 20.8% – 3 MEPs
Green League  (G-EFA) 16% – 2 MEPs
Social Democratic Party (S&D) 14.6% – 2 MEPs
Finns Party (ECR > EAPN) 13.8% – 2 MEPs
Centre Party (ALDE) 13.5% – 2 MEPs
Left Alliance (GUE-NGL) 6.9% – 1 MEP
Swedish People's Party (ALDE) 6.3% – 1 MEP
Christian Democrats (EPP) 4.9% – 0 MEPs

Centre loses one seat, the Greens gain one seat. If Brexit happens then the Greens get a third MEP.

Just break the rules. No one in Finland has even mentioned the rule about delaying the results until midnight local time, nor has it been followed.

This is against the rules.

Every other country withholding their official results until 11pm would be stupid, if certain countries are blatantly breaking the rules.

Finland should be annexed by Russia as punishment.

[Helsinkian]

The number of Italian late voters who allow Finnish results to affect their vote? Zero.

It does not matter. The rules are rules and not there to be broken.

You and certain other traitor countries are criminals and unfair to other countries that uphold the rules.

The better solution would be a unified poll closing time in all countries of 6 or 7 pm though.

The latest French projection had Renaissance at 22 seats, which would mean that Sandro Gozi, a former minister in Renzi's government, would just get in as he is 22nd on the list.

BREAKING

We all know Bernie would have won.

Leszek Miller (KE, 2001-2004)

Why can't some politicians learn how to retire? Honestly he's almost as bad as Gyurcsany.

[Tender Branson]

FPÖ wins not a single district in Austria ...

Yes, I actually read an article about that earlier tonight:

Probably because it's a Polish tradition that the politicians retire to Europe.

[Tender Branson]

In my district, Zell am See, the ÖVP wins 48% (+14%), FPÖ 15% (-5%).

Czech Results:

    Piráti - 3 seats
    STAN+TOP - 3 seats
    SPD - 2 seats

Disappointing for Pirates, who were hoping for second place.
