The Netherlands voted on Thursday and detailed results are available here, with Geert Wilders' PVV finishing second with 17% of the vote.
I'll be aiming to keep track of the following countries: Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, UK - but please post results and links from countries not in this list, and I'll try to look at the Czech Republic and Hungary too if possible.

Has the site given up?
ReplyDeletePB main site is getting very slow - expect bail-out to here any minute.
ReplyDeleteNick Brown has called on rebels to take their challenge to the Party Conference. Sounds like the Leadership think the MPs are going to get the signatures...
ReplyDeleteJust on here as well just in case
ReplyDeleteks like the main site is going to get hung up
ReplyDeletewhat is going on with PB?
ReplyDeleteOn the main site I'm getting the thread from April and before?

Bad for the Social Democrats but a good result for the Socialist Folkeparti (SF). The Venstre (Liberals) set to drop a seat and Radikale Venstre also looking in trouble.
PB main site down and out.
ReplyDeleteMike Smithson, how much would it cost to upgrade the PB.com server? I'm happy to chip in a few quid towards a new one, and there must be others prepared to do the same.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the outage guys.
ReplyDeleteUKIP win Hull with 21%, Lab 21%

Did you see the Glenys Kinnock vs Marc Francois spat? Don't think they'll have a cosy minister v shadow relationship somehow. She's so up herself it's unbelievable. And it seems she can't actually be Europe Minister until mid July when her MEP term expires.
ReplyDeleteNo one has posted it yet, but the right in Hungary have made sweeping gains, the current government have seen their seat holding slashed by half and the far right have done far better than expected, taking 3 seats where it had been thought they might just manage to get one:

A disastrous night for Labour and also for PB.com sadly.
ReplyDeleteThe main site has been showing a thread from April ever since 9ish and nothing more useful.
With events like the BNP seat win and Tories beating Labour in Wales would be a great time to be online but sadly not to be...
I've only problems with the main site in the last 25 mins. Worked fine up to midnight or so for me.
ReplyDeleteIn same boat with main site, this is the first time I've have the April 25th issue. Tried www2. and got some script and wordpress message.
ReplyDeleteYes bad n ight for LAB but will it bring change, I'd be suprised but then again after the last few weeks who knows!
here's the message if it helps..
ReplyDeleteI clicked on the wordpress link ..then
There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn't work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.
