One of Le Monde's correspondents reckons that UKIP got 22% of the euro vote: https://twitter.com/ArLeparmentier If that's accurate, they waaaay underperformed their polling.

LemonDrizzle posted:One of Le Monde's correspondents reckons that UKIP got 22% of the euro vote: https://twitter.com/ArLeparmentier That can't be right: that's way below even their lowest opinion poll percentage. I wouldn't complain if its right, though! It'll still be spun in a pro-UKIP way though: but they should have done much better. If it is right: then the question becomes who wins overall: you might get the Tories leading since I can't see Eurosceptic voters voting for Labour...

Jesus H Christ, how can you see to post? Those things are absolutely eyewatering. After five hours counting votes, I am sitting in a sports centre waiting for the results to be called so I can go home. I believe we may want to consider if fascist tyranny doesn't have some positive points that we have hitherto overlooked.

So anyone else watching People In Suits Saying Things on BBC1? If so, take a drink every time Nick Robinson says "this will be psychologically important", when he means "not neccesarily important actually, but it'll sound like it means something if I say it enough".

BBC liveblog says the SNP got 3 MEPs, so either UKIP or the Tories lost out; almost certainly UKIP if the 22% figure nationwide is correct. Turnout comparatively high in the North-East and East Midlands as well: 31% and 33%, respectively.

I checked that Le Monde tweet, and that's 22% of the vote-share for all far-right parties, not just UKIP. Given that UKIP got 17% and the BNP 6% last time...
