My early take on the European elections, relying heavily on reporting/analysis by the Economist's @JeremyCliffe. Europe changing/evolving, not moving right. Traditional left/right parties lose some ground, gains by Greens & centrist Liberals. New voices, new politics coming.
2/UK sees rise of Brexit Party and Lib Dems, Labour underperformance and a total collapse for the governing party, the Tories. If these results hold no real gains for the Greens, but as in Europe a new landscape. Tories/Farage only at 44%.
3/Know this is a bit of a narrative buster but as of right now the alliance which appears to have gained the most in the 2019 European election is the centrist, pro-EU Liberals. election-results.eu
4/In just a jaw dropping result in the UK, Brexit and Lib Dems finish 1-2, Tories, the governing party, at 4%. 4%. And the Greens more than double their share.
