If I've got this right, then Andrew Duff, LibDem, and president of the Union of European Federalists has lot his seat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Duff SeanT will be gutted.
I forecast (not officially) that no party would get more than 27% and top 3 parties will be within 1%. So, UKIP 27%, Lab, 27% and Conservative 25%. Sorry, to forecast this now onve elections coming in.

Farage has a real chance here to utterly change uk politics
In what way, do you think? Seriously - I genuinely can't see it.
Quite right, Mr. O.. It will be back to political business as usual on Tuesday. A fun night but it will change next to nothing. We must also remember that OGH said that Thursday was a disaster for UKIP and their popular support has dropped massively.
I predicted a few days ago that UKIP would get 171 seats at the locals and 34.4% for the Euros. In the event I fell short by about 5% for the locals, there being only 161 seats. If I extrapolate from that to the Euros UKIP would get 32.68%.

Given split UKIP/Con votes, there is a real chance now of EdM winning most seats in 2015, but not having real legitimacy.
Perhaps he should begin discussions with Clegg? Who would have thought it? The one person who may remain in Government for 10 years running would be Nick Clegg!

Duff? Isn't that the one who hates England?
Yes and good riddance to him. Now onto the 2nd bottle.
Broxtowe result UKIP 9488 Labour 8118 Con 7386 Green 2374 LD 1957 Pseudo-UKIP 467, BNP 444, Eng Dem 311 Harmony 43. UKIP ahead by less than initially expected but overall E Mids result currently expected to be UKIP 2 (+1) Con 2 (NC) Lab 1 (NC) LD 0 (-1)

If that happens, I am opening a SECOND bottle of St Henri 2004, and possibly cracking open the 25 year old Macallan.
Bear in mind at all times people - no-one was voting Thursday for the possibility of Ed Miliband being Prime Minister. Read across to 2015 has limited value.
I expect a good % of UKIP former Tories lending their vote to the Tories to prevent PM Ed. I expect a good % of UKIP former Labour to stay with UKIP because they really can't wear the idea of PM Ed.
Watching the news I'm guessing the FN result will probably have far more effect on those running the EU than the UKIP vote.
I would also add that the FN vote doesn't surprise me at all having lived on the border with France for decades, worked with many French people and having worked in France.
You can call them racists and by UK standards they certainly are but I get the impression that their feelings pretty much align themselves with the general UK populace. They are just less frightened of saying exactly what they feel.
Our Genial Host looks like a total dork, and a loser. Sorry. But there it is. He just lacks judgement, and gets too emotional - like many - when it comes to UKIP.
However he is a big enough guy to admit the facts, when he gets it wrong.
Ogh and dan hodges, both lose their judgement when it comes to ukip

UKIP 35% Con 28% Lab 17% Grn 8% LD 7%
East of England, LDs only down 7%...granted as they were only at 14% to begin with, which makes it less great.
LD 108,010
Not likely to get one anywhere else. SWE is a real longshot.

Sky have voteshare C -2.8, Lab 8.2.
Not enough.
The Green Party has beaten the Liberal Democrats in Sheffield (Nick Clegg's constituency area) on popular vote.
In the event I fell short by about 5% for the locals, there being only 161 seats. If I extrapolate from that to the Euros UKIP would get 32.68%.
IT LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE PROVED RIGHT

UKIP and FN, two parties with successful futures ahead of them.
Fortunately for all of us that is where their success will remain.
Con on 25.3%
Ha ha ha.
I expect a good % of UKIP former Tories lending their vote to the Tories to prevent PM Ed. I expect a good % of UKIP former Labour to stay with UKIP because they really can't wear the idea of PM Ed.
If it adds to less than 12% for Lab minus Con, then Lab are heading for third.
Currently 11.0%
