Elections
Greens have kept their 2 MEPs[0], losing 0.1% of the vote, which is a little disappointing. UKIP, on the other hand now have 12 MEPs. I'm not convinced this is a good thing, even if they will vote against software patents. The Liberal Democrats have one extra MEP too. Now if only can trust them to vote for the party policy. This should give us somewhere between 14 and 25 MEPs to vote against from UK.
BNP appear to have gained 4.1% of the vote to 5.2%, but thankfully no seats.
[0] I think Scotland still hasn't declared, so things may change.
