Conservative parties dominate European elections

Daily Mail:
'The most extraordinary result in 100 years': Farage hails UKIP triumph as Labour and the Tories are humiliated and the Lib Dems are left with just one MEP 
  • Tories, Labour and Lib Dems face fresh turmoil as results are announced
  • UKIP tops the polls in large parts of the country, pushing Labour into 2nd
  • BNP loses its only remaining seat in Brussels as Griffin concedes defeat 
  • Turnout across 28 EU members states estimated at 41.3% 
  • France’s far-right National Front was on course for a massive victory
  • Calls for Clegg to quit as Lib Dem leader even before tonight's EU bloodbath
  • 'Weird' Miliband warned 'outlook is grim' unless he gets a grip of Labour 
Conservatives also won in France and several other countries as there appears to be widespread dissatisfaction with EU policies and government.   There is strong opposition to current immigration policies that make it difficult to send illegal immigrants home.  Mainline parties had tried to marginalize groups like UKIP as racist, but that has clearly failed.  What this could mean is that Britain may get to vote on whether to even stay in the EU.
