    The ever constant during economic bad times and low voter turn out, fringe parties on both sides gain votes and this time it was with the far right. The BNP in Britain didn't receive a MEP, they received 2 MEPS, and across the board from Britain, to Netherlands, to Denmark gains were made. Back towards the middle, Labour was beaten into 3rd, and in some cases 4th and 5th in Britain.

    So let's discuss, how do you people from Europe feel about the results?

    (for the record for anyone not so interested in it, the far-right is still only a very small part of MEPs in Europe)

    It's good. More exposure will stunt their growth.
