The BBC Live-Blogs the EU Election Results

Results here. For people who aren't fans of the status quo, this should be fun. It looks like fringe parties on the right and the left are going to do well in this unusually low-turnout election. The thread should also tell us about various national-level political outcomes. In some cases national votes were held alongside the EU vote (the incumbent governments of Luxembourg and the Czech Republic have won further support). And people will be reading the tea-leaves of the EU vote to see which governments are strong or weak. In another bad sign for Prime Minister Gordon Brown, there are reports that Labour might come in 5th or 6th in the East of England.
