Will the cunt parties win a blocking minority in the European Parliament?
Or will Good and European Fraternity (or at least the lesser evils of establishment politics and bureaucratic technocracy) triumph?

The answer, tonight!

Spain also holds local/regional elections at the same time. With many big cities (including both Barcelona and Madrid) and regions a tossup at this point.

Election participation looks to be at an all time high here and the cunt parties are down in the polls. But I'll wait with opening the champagne until the results.

Participation is a record high in here, too. But that's more an effect of scheduling them together with the local election.

Vox hasn't polled strongly after the (relative) disappointment of the general election, but they will win seats.

"The first turnout figures for the UK show the area covering Birmingham at 31.1%" :o

We passed a total turnout of 60% an hour ago.

Seems the FPÖ hardly lost any votes in the wake of the Ibiza tape. Christian Conservatives win significantly, taking scraps from the other parties, esp. "Other". Current projection:

Both exit polls show the nationalists losing at least half their seats and the Dexiteers losing their only seat.

I've read that

1: Turnout is up
2: This is primarily in remain voting areas

Allegedly largest European turnout since 1994. We'll see tonight if that included people worried about the rise of the far-right, or just the far right mobilising really well.

We don't have exits polls this time, but rather regular polls conducted on the day of the election, cheaper but of dubious reliability. All point to a socialist victory and Vox underperforming their results from a month ago. Hopefully they'll be a flash in the pan and go away in the next election cycle.

Separatists have managed to get some of their people in Belgium/jail elected, so I guess we'll have some fun and legal wrangling.

Well, Macron's strategy depicting these elections as a choice between his party or coalition and Marine's party really worked: RN is first, followed by Benny Hill's list.  :lol: Benny Hill is not that far behind though but it's still a defeat.
Very good score for the leftie Greens, a surprising third with 13%, and a disappointing fourth place for the conservatives (Bellamy). PS remnants manage to get some Parliaments members with a little more of 6%. The far-left of Mélenchon and Aubry is just behind, a mere 100,000 votes less. Disappointing for them.

Highest participation since 1994, good news.

Looks like Greens are second strongest in Germany, behind Conservatives and ahead of Social Democrats. :o

I voted for a young candidate as she was the one I agreed most with in all those candidate tests and it looks like she might actually win a seat. I'm sure Languish will approve.
