Thanks Jake.

A somewhat hopeful result IMO and perhaps a crack in the EPP dominance of Europe.  It would be too much to hope it marks a high-water mark in racist right-wing populism.

Did the big red/green vote increase come largely at the expense of the Social Democrats?

With the caveat that I have no polling data to base it on, my interpretation is that the red-green gain is the half of the old guard of the popular socialists who don't like being wedded to the Schröderites.
