looks like almost every country will elect at least one far right MEP.

Voter turnout quite low.
Interesting..

yeah like we have never seen that kind of dumb situation before.


Whats even better, they will now get funding from the EU because they
have seats; most will now use the funding to launch bigger campaigns at home.


Just like............ anyone we know ?

pretty much, but the far right has never really has much of a voice in Europe.
Its too easy to call them Nazis

Now, looks like the far right parties could make a block that is 4th strongest in
the EU parliament.. if they get together; that could be more difficult
than you think.

p.s. the BNP has won 2 seats.

[martin14]

Hungary far right 3 seats
finland 1
romania 2
Holland 4
Sweden 1 ( i think )



and everywhere, center right parties win,
socialist and left parties lose.

Very interesting indeed.

people are realizing that the nanny state and its proponents are too costly, and not just in the financial sense either.

Far right parties in Europe are not the same as right parties in North America.

They are strictly pro-european trade policy (1800s style trade policies), pro white Europe (anti immigration, anti Roma, anti expats), and many of them have awkward ideologies.

The BNP believe in the deportation of all non whites from Britain.
