First post on this site, the Local and European Election Results have inspired (scared) me into starting a new WordPress blog, it is so scary that the BNP have gained 2 MEP’s in the European Parliament yesterday, racism is apparently live and well in the UK!

Vote Percentages from BBC News for the 2009 European Election Results, UK results excluding Northern Ireland.
