Who should I vote for. Redux.

Apparently the Tories haven't won Wales since the 19th century.  1918 it was the Liberals in charge

Weird night for Denmark. A yes to the royal succession change, I had hoped it wouldn't go through. And the nationalists got the best election with a candidate that most resembles something hitler jugend would be proud of.

Fun map showing elections winners by region in Poland:



So pretty much the more backwards and rural the area, the better PiS result.

I'm happy for Sweden. The pirates have done well.

The Tory party chairman's just said that the Tories won't form an alliance with 'extremist' group or 'anti-gay' parties

Shame.

Who?

A twattish ex Tory MEP who's since become a hero in the US due to the youtube video of him questioning Gordon Brown.

The  video's here:

It's seems pretty University Debating Society in style to me, but there you are.  I think he's since appeared on 3-4 Fox shows, I think I got the line 'hero' from Glenn Beck, as well as a few others.  The conservative blogs practically shat themselves with excitement over him.

Unfortunately I don't think he'll ever be terribly successful in this country because one of those US shows asked him what he thought of socialised healthcare.  He said that the NHS was a 60 year long mistake.  Which has no traction at all in this country.

Poor Labour.  Apparently they're coming fifth in the South-West region (where I am) behind Mebyon Kernow the Cornish nationalist party

Alas no.  Way ahead of Mebyon Kernow
My Euro-Region:
Conservative     468,742     30.2% (-1.3%)
UK Independence Party    341,845    22.1% (-0.5%)
Liberal Democrats    266,253    17.2% (-1.2%)
Green Party    144,179    9.3% (+2.1%)
Labour    118,716    7.7%  (-6.8%)

And the BNP rate is one of the lowest in the country and half the national average.  South-West pride!

Edit:  Although Labour did come sixth behind Mebyon Kernow in Cornwall

  'The Roman Party - Ave' got 5000 votes in the South-East

[Barrister]

Lovely results.   

Well, maybe not the BNP MEP.  But everything else sounds great.

The Italians have smuggled a legion in. 3 more + auxilia are on the way.

Bunch of skinheads standing in front of the stage in the North-West where the BNP are expected to win another seat

The Hungarian result (attendance was about 36% BTW) is just about a landslide victory for the nazis.

This party of theirs, "Jobbik" (which is a play with words in Hungarian, it both means "better" and right-er, ie. more to the right than the main opposition party) is pretty new to the scene, they were non-existent prior to 2006, and they were not taken seriously until they formed this Hungarian Guard (our modern-day version of the SA, basically) of theirs.

The total number of votes they got, would be enough, counting with a 70% attendance, to grab a 7% result on parlaimentary elections. That means even if they fail to convince even one more people to go and vote on them next year (or rather this year, seeing the utter failure of the governing party), than what they have now, they have more than enough support to get into parlaiment.

Tamas is going to be sent to the showers.

Nick Griffin, a man who wants a 99% genetically white UK, is now an MEP

If UKIP had got 1200 more, or the Greens had got 5000 more then Griffin wouldn't be in

Edit:  They now have EU money to fund MEPs which they can use to pay staff which'll develop the party.  I'm worried about what someone like Griffin will be able to do with a bit of money and legitimacy.

Hopefully with it will come media attention and I think he'll be voted out very shortly.

[Admiral Yi]

What's UKIP?
