Αγωνιστικό Σοσιαλιστικό Κόμμα Ελλάδας, Agonistikó Sosialistikó Kómma Elládas Google translate gives that as "Fighting Socialist Party of Greece". Google translate isn't perfect. A fight for something can also be the struggle for something. |

2009 REsults Slovenia: Slovenia stayed on 7 seats in 2009, but gained an extra one post Lisbon which they keep this year. | Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) | 26.9% | +9.2% | 2 seats* | nc | EPP | | Social Democrats (SD) | 18.5% | +4.3% | 2 seats | +1 | S&D | | New Slovenia (NSi) | 16.3% | -7.3% | 1 seat | -1 | EPP | | Liberal Democratic Party (LDS) | 11.5% | -10.4% | 1 seat | -1 | ALDE | | Zares, New Politics | 9.8% | +9.8% | 1 seat | +1 | ALDE | | Pensioners' Democratic Party (DeSUS) | 7.2% | +7.2% | 0 seats | nc | |
* SDS gained the extra seat post-Lisbon. From polls, SDS look like they will confortably come top again and keep their 3 seats. New Slovenia look like coming second and picking up an extra seat. The Social DEmocrats look like crashing and failing to win a seat and Zares have all but disappeared. The far-right Slovenian National Party (SNS) and List Verjamem (who I can't find anything on) look like picking up a seat each with the final seat being close between the Liberal Democrats and the Pensioners. |

Reminds me of an early-Weimar political party I discovered many years ago called the Black-White-Red Struggle-Front (Schwarz-Weiss-Rot Kampffront).

2009 Results Cyprus: 6 seats. | Democratic Rally (DISY) | 35.7% | +7.4% | 2 seats | nc | EPP | | Progressive Party of Working People (AKEL) | 34.9% | +7.0% | 2 seats | nc | EUL - NGL | | Democratic Party (DIKO) | 12.3% | -4.8% | 1 seat | nc | S&D | | MOvement for Social Democracy (EDEK) | 9.8% | -0.9% | 1 seat | +1 | S&D | | European Party (EUROKO) | 4.1% | -6.7% | 0 seats | -1 | |
From the opinion poll Devonian has quoted above there appear to be alliances between DISY and the European Party and EDEK and the ecologists for this year. I'm guessing we might not see huge changes in the seats. |

Reminds me of an early-Weimar political party I discovered many years ago called the Black-White-Red Struggle-Front (Schwarz-Weiss-Rot Kampffront). I would translate that as Fighting Front, personally. Essentially, the DNVP with the Stahlhelm (hence fighting rather than struggle) and the Papenist wing of the Zentrum. |

2009 Results Malta. Malta had 5 seats in 2009, but gained an extra one post-Lisbon which it keeps this year. | PL | 54.8% | +6.4% | 3 seats | nc | S&D | | PN | 40.5% | +0.7% | 2 seats | nc | EPP |
The extra seat post-Lisbon went to PL making it a 4-2 split. The latest opinion poll gives just a 1.15% swing to PN, which would be enough to make it a 3-3 split this time. And that's me finished the lot, I think. Hope somebody has found these either interesting or useful and thank to Devonian for the updates on opinion polls. |

That would mean that Labour would be about 10 points ahead in the popular vote, which is extremely impressive in Malta, which is always very polarised. I'm guessing the Labour government is still in a honeymoon period? Malta Today Opinion Poll 13/04/14: PL 54.5 PN 42.5 AD 2.2 I have no idea how accurate that will turn out to be. |

I'm guessing the Labour government is still in a honeymoon period? Far from it. Labour are the more eurorealist of the two parties, opposing EU membership for decades. I think this is a protest against the EU's interference in a couple of Malta's treasured traditions. |

74.81% turnout in Malta.
Counting started at noon CET time.
Early indications point towards a big Labour win: 53 to 40%

Bulgaria, 2009 results. Bulgaria dropped 1 seat to 17 in 2009. They gained it back post-Lisbon, but lose it again this time. | GERB (Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria) | 24.4% | +2.7% | 5 seats | nc | EPP | | KB (Coalition for Bulgaria) | 18.5% | -2.9% | 4 Seats | -1 | PES | | DPS (Movement for Freedom and Rights | 14.1% | -6.1% | 3 seats | -1 | ALDE | | PPA (Attack) | 12.0% | -2.2% | 2 seats | -1 | None | | NDSV (National Movement for stability and progress) | 8.0% | +1.9% | 2 seats | +1 | ALDE | | SK (Blue Colaition) | 8.0% | +1.1% | 1 seat* | +1 | EPP |
* SK gained the extra seat post-Lisbon. The coalition has since parted ways with part of it going to form the Reformist block. DPS look like dropping back sharply with things close between GERB and KB and BBT (Bulgaria without Censorship) looking to do well and pick up at least 1 seat. ABV (Alternative for Bularian Development) also have a chance according to some polls. NDSV look like they're gone though. Results: | GERB | 30.4% | +6.0 | 6 seats | +1 | EPP | | KB | 18.9% | +0.4% | 4 seats | nc | S&D | | DPS | 17.3% | +3.1% | 4 seats | +1 | ALDE | | BBT | 10.7% | +10.7% | 2 seats | +2 | | | RB | 6.5% | -1.5%* | 1 seat | nc | | | ABV | 4.0% | +4.0% | 0 seats | | | | Attack | 3.0% | -9.0% | 0 seats | -2 | |
* Changes compared to SK from which they formed. In the end it wasn't that close for GERB and DPS' vote held up well. Attack and NDSV go. BBT could be a useful partner for somebody wishing to form a group. |
