Liberals inspiring Europe - Socialists get red card!eldr, Monday 8 June 2009 12:24 ::
European Liberals have faired well with notable gains in Germany, Sweden and Estonia so far recorded. The German FDP increased its representation in the Parliament winning 12 seats compared to 7 in 2004. In Sweden Folkpartiet won 3 seats (an increase of 1) and centerparty retained 1 seat. The Centreparty of Estonia won 3 seats (compared to 1 in 2004) and Reform Party retained its 1 seat. Votes are still being counted in Italy where Liberals are also optimistic of a good score. In the UK with all results declared, except in Northern Ireland, the Liberal Democrats have retained 11 MEPs. Liberal results are holding up well compared to those of the European Socialists who have suffered significant losses in France, Germany, Denmark and Spain while the UK Labour Party recorded its worst post-war election result. With nearly all results counted, ELDR member parties are set to maintain 75 MEPs in the new Parliament which represents a relative increase given that the number of seats has been reduced to 736. Liberals will remain king makers and continue to be the guardians of freedoms. UK The Netherlands Germany
