European Parliament elections 2019

[Duque de Bragança]

What about her politics? 

[Maladict]

Exit poll has been out for days, very acceptable results thankfully

[celedhring]

Looks like the separatists will win Barcelona. They actually have 40% of the vote but given the election system (which is a bit FPTP when it comes to elect the major) they'll control the city unless there's a very improbable alliance involving Valls, the socialists and the current lefty major.

The right wins Madrid.

My town gets a comfortable socialist majority, so at least I have that. And the local party my brother works for won the election in their town, surprising everyone. He ran their campaign, unpaid.

Overall, though, the socialists cruise to a big victory (20 MEP seats out of 54), beating the polls. The cunt party (Vox) gets only 3 seats and gets half the vote share they got a month ago.

[Liep]

The nationalists and the Dexiteers got a total of 1 seat down from 5. The liberals and socialists are both up 2 to 5 seats and 3 seats. The Social democrats remain at 3 and the conservatives remain at 1.

Acceptable, although it'll be painful to have to listen to the liberals for the next week or so.

Does this mean that Valls can still be mayor or at least have a say in the unlikely coalition?

Just have a say. He finished 4th. The only district he won is the richest in town, so here's that 

[Josquius]

Well fuck. Results out from the North East, as expected the Greens serve as a spoiler on the Lib Dems and divided they get nothing.

Wait, are you using the same crazy election systems for the EP elections?

MEPs are divided by region. The northeast gets 3, looks like it's 2 Brexit party and 1 Labour.

WAD, for the post-modern left. 

[Liep]

This has got to hurt.

[Josquius]

hmm, so  Farage has 31.8 and UKIP has 3.4.   Thats 35.2% for the unambiguously pro Brexit.
Meanwhile the Greens have 12.2, Lib Dems 20.4, and CHUK 3.5. Thats 36.1% for the unambiguously anti Brexit. Add on the SNP and its 39.1%.

I await Labour and the Tories announcing that this is clear proof the people are desperate for brexit.

edit- forgot PC. 40.3% for remain parties.

[celedhring]

From my very limited understanding of British politics, the Tory answer will be to appoint a Dalek as PM, painted with the Union Jack.

[Richard Hakluyt]

Looking on the bright side the chances that the tories will become a no-account minority party have increased 

[Iormlund]

How come you still haven't finished counting the votes?
