Yarr! A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
With 200 000 votes this time around, getting over 250 000 for national parliament elections in 2010 should be very possible. A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
PES: 6 EPP: 4 ALDE: 4 Greens-EFA: 2 GUE/NGL: 1 Uncommitted: 1
(so the Pirate Party would have 1, I don't know about that)
PES: 5 EPP: 5 ALDE: 4 Greens-EFA: 2 GUE/NGL: 1 Uncommitted (PP): 1
Around 16:00 affluence was below 27%, so far lower than in 2004.
PPD/PSD (EPP) - 31% - 8 PS (PES) - 27 - 6 BE (GUE) - 11 - 2 PCP (GUE) - 10 - 2 CDS/PP (EPP) - 8 - 2
Of note 7% of blank/nullified vote. Democratic protest, so it seems.
Catastrophic results for the ruling PS (not as bad as Brown, not even near it). They were expected to win.
The trotsquists-stalinists of the BE (young urbanites) finally overcome the comunists of the PCP (old working class)
This seems final.
This according to the private TV channel SIC. BE was expected to grow, but not this much. I actually know the 3rd MEP from BE and he is a nice libertarian socialist.
Portugal has 22% of votes going to far-left parties, plus 7% of blank/nulls. I guess that that is what happens when the local labour party becomes New Labour and there are alternatives on the left.
Not for PSD but for PS So: 8 PSD EPP 7 PS PES 3 BE GUE 2 PCP GUE 2 CDS EPP
The 22nd is 99% sure for BE, but it can still go for PCP. In any case it is GUE.
