 | Anti-federalist triumph in multi-national European Union elections. Posted by Matthew Humphreys on 6/14/2004, 12:01pm | |
| The results for the latest elections to the Euroepan Parliament, which has representatives from all member-nations of the European Union, show stunning gains for parties opposed to further integration of the EU (usually unflatteringly referred to as "eurosceptics"). The most sensational result was here in the UK, where the much maligned UK Independence Party stunned the major parties by coming third in terms of their overall share of the vote, with the (moderate eurosceptic) Conservative Party getting their lowest share since 1832, the (moderately pro-EU) Labour party falling to their lowest share since World War I, and the fanatically pro-EU Liberal Democrats crushed into fourth place. Newly elected UKIP MEP Robert Kilroy-Silk (a former tv presenter sacked by the BBC for telling the truth about arabs) has promised to "wreck" the European Parliament. | ||
