European Parliament voting intention

By Duncan Mil

May 14, 2019 - Europe’s political centre held on to two-thirds of seats in the EU parliament Sunday as early results from the hardest-fought European Parliament elections in decades showed both the anti-immigrant far right and the pro-environment Greens gaining ground.

In France, Marine Le Pen’s far-right, anti-immigrant National Rally party beat President Emmanuel Macron, who has made EU integration the heart of his presidency. In the UK Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party was set for a big win, reflecting frustration at the fact Britain is still in the EU, two months after Brexit was supposed to happen.
