THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ELECTIONS UNPLUGGED
(INFORMATION WILL BE ADDED THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING US TIME)
(12 NOON EASTERN US TIME)
The voting concludes Sunday evening in Europe and all the results can be counted for the 751 European Parliament seats.
Coalitions of various mainstream parties of the "Left", "Right" and "Center" dominate but now some newly emerging nationalist anti-mass immigration parties may now get a share of these seats.
Reasonable expectations are for somewhere around 10-15 percent of them as the results emerge tonight.
The "Nations and Freedom" coalition of Italy's League leader Matteo Salvini and France's National Rally leader Marine Le Pen has partners in other countries aligned with it like Austria's Freedom Party hit hard by a compromising video.
The Freedom Party was targeted by what one of those involved in the video scheme calls a "civil society" operation. That phrase associated with none other than George Soros.
The Alternative for Germany also part of the Salvini-Le Pen coalition fighting hard to maintain its electoral strength in the face of the Merkel government's all out investigations of the party for financial dealings and also by domestic spying agencies.
Then there's the story of the UK allegedly leaving the European Union through Brexit following the vote to Leave in the 2016 referendum.
No matter who emerges as the new Prime Minister from the Conservative Party in the next few months the same bag of tricks will be employed to keep the UK tied to the European Union while promising Brexit to the public. That is beyond debate based on what has been seen in the last year or so.
In his Sunday column this weekend Peter Hitchens of the "Mail on Sunday" laying out the notion that even Boris Johnson is considered cunning enough to force his country to remain part of the European Union.

Nigel Farage and his Brexit Party roaring into prominence in recent weeks taking the UK by storm for an expected victory with the kind of plurality that could win a General Election in the UK.
But Farage the businessman being very politically correct shunning and rejecting his former allies in UKIP and those on the outside in working class regions hard hit by mass immigration and "Islamization" of their communities. Farage shunning those being prosecuted and persecuted for "hate crimes" in the UK.
UKIP hoping to survive with some sort of victory for a few seats with candidates like internet activist Carl Benjamin ("Sargon of Akkad") running in the Southwest of England.
And Northwest England contesting one of the eight seats there's Independent candidate Tommy Robinson.
Robinson, disdained by the Establishment and the likes of Mr. Farage. He was arrested live streaming outside a child sex abuse trial involving numerous victims and dozens of Muslim defendants.
Robinson summarily tried, jailed, freed on appeal but now facing trial again July 4th.
(4 PM EASTERN)
In France Marine Le Pen calling for dissolution of rhe National Assembly and new elections as her National Rally celebrates victory in the European Parliament elections. The National Rally leads the party of President Macron by 2 percentage points for the proportional allocation of the 74 French seats in the parliament.
Leading her party's ticket is 23 year old Jordan Bardella.
(455 PM EASTERN)
Of course Marine Le Pen's proclamation based on the exit polling that's out in a number of countries right now.
Real results are on the way later into the evening.
(530 PM EASTERN)
In Greece the politically correct mainstream party of the "Right", New Democracy, is the projected winner with its leader calling on Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras of the left-leaning Syriza party to resign.
A report tonight claiming Mr. Tsipras may just do that and call for early elections.
(545 PM EASTERN)
Before we go to return later tonight after 10 pm the BBC is forecasting the turnout in the UK last Thursday at 37 percent, much lower than overall turnout in the other countries.
The BBC also hyping the success of the "Green" parties in the election. Parties that redefine "Progressive" and "Left" in the direction of policies that hurt working people by taxing them on gasoline and home heating and cooling costs and keeping business taxes lower like those embraced by President Emmanuel Macron in France.
(1025 PM EASTERN)
The allocation of the 73 seats in Italy is 28 going to Matteo Salvini's League with 33.6 percent of the popular vote. The Socialist Left Democratic Party second at 19 seats with 23.5 percent, the Five Star Movement came in third seeing their strength halved from the last General Election.
The leading party of Italy's government at 14 seats with 16.6 percent of the popular vote. The once great Forza Italia party of Silvio Burlesconi down to six seats and 7.8 percent of the vote. The Brothers of Italy get into the EU Parliament, the political descendants of Benito Mussolini, with five seats and 5.8 percent of the vote.
A regional party in the German speaking part of northern Italy gets one seat.
(350 AM EASTERN)
Trying to look at firm results information right now and in the UK the top two parties are Nigel Farage's Brexit Party with 31.6 percent of the popular vote and 29 seats followed by Sir Vince Cable of the Liberal Democrats with 20.3 percent of the popular vote and 16 seats. Way down in fifth place the Conservatives of Theresa May with 9.1 percent and four seats.
Over to Germany with Angela Merkel's CDU-CSU down to 28.7 percent of the popular vote with the Greens second at 20.7 percent. That's 29 and 21 seats respectively for those parties. Social Democrats at 15.6 percent of the popular vote and 16 seats and the Alternative for Germany at 10.8 percent and 11 seats. The AfD under tremendous pressure from the Merkel government with investigations by the intelligence agencies and investigations into its finances etc. etc. etc.
Spain's' vote with the Socialists at 20 seats, 32,8 percent. People's Party or the "Conservatives" at 12 seats, 20.1 percent. Ciudadanos at 7 seats, 12.2 percent, Podemos at 6 seats, 10.1 percent. The new anti-mass immigration Vox at three seats, 6.2 percent. The Catalan parties got five seats and the Basques one.
Lets go to Sweden with the Social Democrats at 23.6 percent and five seats. The Moderate Party at 16.8 percent with four seats. The Sweden Democrats at 15.4 percent with three seats. The Green Party at 11.4 percent with two seats. The Center Party at 10.8 percent with two seats. The Christian Democrats at 8.7 percent with two seats. The Left Party got one seat and the Liberals just got over the four percent threshold for one seat. That's how the 20 seats in Sweden ended up.
And that will wrap it up but more counting and firm information will have to wait until later.....
