Another 2 hours?? Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

 

[Coolfonz]

butchers: nice fact, early doors

 

[Nigel Irritable]

Former Red Action, then Working Class Action fella topped the poll as an independent in Dublin.

Yes. Very well known local councillor. Endorsed Paul Murphy (SP) in the euros.

interesting blog here debunking a lot of the media narrative on the local elections.

Some of the mainstream media reactions to the local election results have been quite extraordinary. The same narratives have been repeated in the pages of countless newspapers and on nearly every television station. I'm just going to run through a few of these narratives and expose them for the counter-factual gibberish they are

Results for London region look like being delayed for ages because, believe it or not, they're still counting the local election results. Serious.

Most of that's been debunked in turn on the why are ukip doing so well thread.

Yes, I believe that some re-counts in Kingston were postponed to today because the count staff were too tired to complete on Friday am. Quite why they didn't use Saturday?

 

[brogdale]

13% turnout in Slovakia.

Down from their 19% in 2009. They don't like Euro elections, do they?

 

[butchersapron]

This is now doing the rounds as the released data from ashcrofts exit poll - nothing official to back it up at all though, so treat with massive caution:

1st UKIP 29%
2nd Conservatives 24%
3rd Labour 21%
4th Lib Dems 8%

8%...too high.

read a quote from falange today in the 'I' 'The Ukip fox is in the Westminster henhouse'

he really is toad of toad hall

He is toad of fuck all.

And he looks like Clayface from batman.

 

[brogdale]

So other EU states are not so scrupulous about releasing exit polling before all poll closure, then?

Seems not - i've been seeing them since late afternoon. Simply can't trust the europeans.

And the Greens wth even less than 8%? I would have thought that they'd have managed to con a few more than that into voting for them.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

Would be surprised to see Labour on less than Tories, and would be a serious blow to Miliband if true

 

[butchersapron]

Die Welt' exit poll projection - again, little info on this, so beware:
UKIP - 24 MEPs
Labour - 22
Con - 17
Green - 6
Lib Dem - 2
SNP - 3
PC - 1
SF - 1
DUP 1
UUP 1

 

[butchersapron]

Die Welt one is kosher and =

UKIP 30%
LAB 26%
CON 22.8%
LD 7.8%
GRN 6.7%

 

[butchersapron]

Ashcroft exit poll is fake.

 

[brogdale]

Die Welt one is kosher and =

UKIP 30%
LAB 26%
CON 22.8%
LD 7.8%
GRN 6.7%

If close to the out-turn, shame about the 1.1% "victory" for fourth.

Is he? I think he's much more like the leader of the stoats and weasels unpleasant and vicious and capable of giving a nasty nip. Cameron is clearly toad and Cl egg is Mole as the latter two lack both Rat and Badger they're probably fucked.

That's 5 too many.

 

[brogdale]

Jesus, 30% of under French 25 year olds voted FN.

 

[butchersapron]

I've seen three provisional returns now - and the greens have beat the lib-dems in every one.

4 now.

5

6

Puts our moderately moderate Nigel picking up the pensioner vote into perspective.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

NE England wasn't surprising - 2 Labour and 1 UKIP.

Interested in UKIP total figures.
