    O/T:

    I was hoping to have the final real vote figures from the local elections ready by now but I haven't been able to do it, partly because of the poor quality of some council websites. I'll carry on with the job while the Euro results come in.

    And that will be the main story in the media for the next few weeks.

    Pressure will build for the EU to engage in a reform dialogue. All to Cameron's benefit.

    A hint of what was to come was Barroso's efforts a couple of weeks ago to contain Britain's desire for renegotiation to an exemption for a single country rather than a pan Union movement.

    Barroso is losing. It is Cameron and Hague's timing which will be lauded in years to come.

    Mr. Pulpstar, perhaps. They're rarer, which may mean a higher standard is necessary for a woman to become leader, so the only female leaders tend to be very good, whereas men can be anywhere from superb to Gordon Brown.

    They gave it a go, I'll give them that, but the basics are that even most of those who want to stay in the EU don't like the EU, so the pro-EU vote should rather go to the Tories or Labour, with the LD position even more unpopular than their core national policies.

    That said, I voted for them, possibly out of sympathy. I like to have as many parties having MPs and MEPs as is possible under the systems we use, so I don't think they deserve a wipeout.
