EU voters turn to the right, BNP gets two EU seats.

Right parties in nearly every country voting in the EU voting won big while the leftist parties are trying to figure out what happened.

Europe's mainstream centre-left parties suffered humiliation last night when four days of voting in the EU's biggest-ever election concluded with disastrous results for social democrats. Results from the national rounds of the European parliament election across the 27 member states also showed support for centre-right Christian democrats diminishing in places, but nonetheless notching up handsome victories in several key states. In Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary and the Czech Republic, the centre right won the elections, with stunning defeats for the left in certain cases.

BNP won two seats which is a failure of both the Tories and Labour parties to pay attention to the voters especially working class who are frustrated at being ignored or called names when they have legitimate if uncomfortable complaints for the political elite to come up with an answer like immigration, loss of jobs, welfare benefits..etc.

Lefty Guardian is pretty much in depress mode.
