it's great to see Europeans finally wake up and realize how important it is to support the EU, turnout record since 1994 and the far-right falling short of predictions expanding only by 17 seats in a parliament of 751 while the pro-federation ALDE made the biggest gains

of course we need a strong far-right presence in there but certainly not to a point where it threatens the EU functioning

pretty ironic how Brexit party's success in the UK gets all the publicity when the election was an overall shift towards remain with remain parties getting 40% combined compared to 35% of no-deal parties, Wales has shifted to remain if you add the numbers up and Scotland proved it is very serious about getting independence, UK ended up giving more pro-EU seats, 39 compared to 34 anti-EU

Yup. Centre of left parties actually gained a lot of seats compared to 2014 in both France and the UK, and yet most of the time we hear is this noise about Farage and Le Pen (the latter actually underperforming from the previous election).
