Coming in as one of the last results, the British Liberal Democrats have held on to 11 seats in a smaller European Parliament.

European Liberals congratulate Sharon Bowles, ELDR vice president as well as Graham Watson, leader of the Liberals in the EP, and Catherine Bearder for securing a second liberal seat in the South Eastern region of the UK.

The full UK results are as follows:

Fiona Hall has been re-elected as an MEP for North East England.

Diana Wallis has been re-elected as an MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber.

Sarah Ludford has been re-elected as an MEP for London.
