Last year, America elected its first black president. This year, Britain elected its first two BNP MEPs. Way to respond, my country.

I don't want to get up today. In London, Jonathan Fryer was only 8000 votes off being elected, too.

Edit: ...or so his Twitter said, but I guess in the small hours of the morning he miscounted, or mistakenly saw the margin to Labour. He'd actually have needed just under 80,000.

13 UKIP so far as well, and they're not much better than the BNP in my view.

Ugh!

This may mean that I don't understand D'Hondt after all, and I don't know if it makes you feel better or worse, but I get that he was 79202 votes off being elected. FWIW, I voted LD in the end; looks like I was right in thinking that that was where my vote might make the most difference.

So far, doesn't look like much happened last night to feel good about.

*feels the same*

Ugh, I'm so sorry.

I was also somewhat disheartened when I saw the news this morning. I'm in a resolutely Blue area (my MP's got one of the safest seats in the country), so I did take some comfort from Labour being a minority party in the county council.

Yes indeed, a day to pull the blankets over your head and give up on life. However, I would expect some kind of backlash vote in the US soon as well, and perhaps all this is the last thrashing death throes of a dying monster?

Was the last decade our Weimar republic? Short of making Griffin poo flags and talking, I have no idea what to do now. I desperately want something to do.

excuse my ignorance, but what is a BNPMEP?
