I’m offering a liveblogging right now if anybody is interested. It’s pretty fast, so I don’t have time to explain parties and stuff.

It’s 11.17 GMT and according to the BBC website the Greens across Europe are already ahead of 2004 in terms of seats. Currently the total is 45 and the UK results have yet to come in. There was a big increase in Green representation in France from the look of it with an extra 8 seats.
I’ve heard that the pirate party are looking likely to win a seat?
Thanks Ben & co for all your excellent work covering these elections. Awesome job!
I notice there’s a significant shift within the ALDE group, with the Lib Dems being overtaken by the German FDP as the largest party within the group. Interesting, as the FDP are much further to the right ideologically than the Lib Dems, usually classed as libertarian whereas the Lib Dems are amongst the most left-leaning liberal parties in Europe.
Thanks for all of your efforts Ben! Very interesting. Great results for the Greens in France. A few other disappointments. Has Greece ever had a Green elected before?
Hear about Bob Brown?
