Conservatives score wins in EU parliament voting

BRUSSELS – Conservatives scored victories in some of Europe's largest economies Sunday as voters punished left-leaning parties in European parliament elections in France, Germany and other nations.

Some right-leaning parties said the results vindicated their reluctance to spend more on company bailouts and fiscal stimulus to combat the global economic crisis.

don't forget the dem talking points....conservatism is dead
 
I'd just like to point out that a person in a "conservative" party in Europe would likely be a Democrat in America. If you want to see something you can compare the Republicans to, just look at the results for the British National Party, the Front Nationale of France, or the National Democrats of Germany.

Hey Charver, you getting along with your new BNP MEP yet? Just feel glad that about 8% of your neighbors want to deport all non-whites from Britian.

It shows the political affiliation associated with the color at the bottom. Although the right does gain if you count the euroskeptics and fascists (and the liberal group is split between right and left wing liberals), the moderate conservatives showed a loss. They arrange the groups from left to right, so the most moderate of the straight right bloc is the blue, and the yellow liberals in the middle. If you compare from 2004 to 2009 the blue Conservative lost 20 seats, while the "other" group, which I believe is mostly composed of fascist parties, almost doubled.

I was sat watching the results come in last night hoping that we wouldn't embarrass ourselves by electing any Nazis. Unfortunately, we've now got 2 of them in the European Parliament. One of them, their fat, greasy, loathsome cunt leader, representing me.

I know it is a combination of people voting against all the main parties, in light of the expenses scandal, and the complete collapse of the Labour vote in an election in which people see no real point or enthusiasm which has partly led to this. The parties are spinning the line that people who voted for the BNP, a party who only admit white people, are not necessarily racist themselves. That is, quite frankly, bollocks. Nearly a million people in this country voted for a Nazi party who want to deport non-white people. That is shameful.

The turnout here in the North West constituency was, a pitiful, 32%. The BNP received fewer votes than last time round but, because a few thousand stayed at home instead of voting for UKIP or the Greens we're stuck funding the racist Nick Griffin, leader of the British Cunting National Party, for the next 5 years.

Today is not a good day. The only person more unhappy than me this morning will be Mr Gordon Browns.

The main reason the EPP (centre right grouping) shows a loss from 2004 is that the Conservative Party (our lot) have left the group in order to set up their own bloc. The BBC therefore placed the 24 Conservatives in the "No Group" until this other grouping is put together. Without this the EPP would have been slightly up on it's 2004 numbers.
 
You guys in Britian are in quite a conundrum. Labour deserves to be punished, but the Conservatives don't deserve to be rewarded. Quite different in the USA, where the choice was clear. It would've been the same situation, though, if we had won in 2000.

lol.

It's hard to even tell if you're kidding with this kind of idiocy anymore. The choice was not clear. It is even less clear now than it appeared on election day.

yeah, and we'd be sitting here bitching about which president called a bad war or which president called a REALLY bad war. :rolleyes:

Gore and Bush probably would've made 99% the same decisions. He has the benefit of foresight when he says he would've done things differently. But he was part of that moderate Clinton team that was basically DINO.
