At least the political wing of Saxo Bank is on 1%... An intriguing statement- could you elaborate please? Have I missed a scandal? |

An intriguing statement- could you elaborate please? Have I missed a scandal? I'm probably being unfair really, but I understand that the Liberal Alliance receives substantial funding from Saxo Bank -- which has always struck me as odd for what is essentially fairly minor personalist outfit. |

A decent showing by the Social Democrats in a Euro election when they're in government? Would be a remarkable occurrence.

I didn't know that, but yes, fairly strange. Seems like an eternity ago that Naser Khader was being touted as some kind of political messiah, Denmark's first ethnic minority PM (I did see that somewhere), and all round breath of fresh air. Before quickly proving he was nothing of the sort. |

yle.fi/uutiset/keskustan_eurovaalikannatus_romahti/7146965 At a guess, I'd say the Finns Party will pick up 2 seats on those figures and the Left Alliance 1, with Greens losing 1 and Swedish people and Christian Democrats both losing their sole seats. |

Pretty much KOK 4 (+1) ; KESK 3 (-); PS 2 (+1); SPD 2 (-); VIHR 1 (-1); VAS 1 (+1); SKP 0 (-1); KD 0 (-1) It is very close between PS and KOK for the final seat though, well within the margins of error. |

Greens, of course Do the Pirate Party even exist in this country outside Manchester? |

Greens, of course Do the Pirate Party even exist in this country outside Manchester? I've never seen any sign of them anywhere, including when I was living (and politically active) in Manchester. They always strike me as a ridiculous concept, almost the ultimate consumerist movement- insistent that they should be able to consume for free, and that the producer should be the one who takes the financial hit. |

They had a candidate in my ward in Edinburgh in 2012. Same candidate has also stood in the two Liberton-Gilmerton by-elections here.

Denmark, results 2009: Denmark lost a seat in 2009 and remains at 13 this year: | A (Social Democrats) | 21.5% | -11.1% | 4 seats | -1 | PES | | V (Liberals) | 20.2% | +0.8% | 3 seats | nc | ALDE | | F (Socialist People's Party) | 15.9% | +7.8% | 2 seats | +1 | EGP | | O (Danish People's Party) | 15.3% | +8.5 % | 2 seats | +1 | EFD | | C (Conservative People's Party) | 12.7% | +1.3% | 1 seat | nc | EPP | | N (People's Movement against the EU) | 7.2% | +2.2% | 1 seat | nc | GUE-NGL | | B (Danish Social Liberal Party) | 4.3% | -2.2% | 0 seats | -1 | ALDE | | J (June Movement) | 2.4% | -6.8% | 0 Seats | -1 | |
The main gainers look like being DAnish People's Party who are running both Venstre and the Social Democrats close in a 3-way battle to top the polls. The Conservatives look like missing out with the Social Liberals coming back in. |

Finland, 2009 Results: Like Denmark, Finland lost a seat in 2009 and remains at 13 this year. | KOK (National Coalition) | 23.2% | -0.5% | 3 seats | -1 | EPP | | KESK (Centre Party) | 19.0% | -4.3% | 3 seats | -1 | ALDE | | SDP (Social Democratic Party) | 17.5% | -3.6% | 2 seats | -1 | PES | | VIHR (Green League) | 12.4% | +2.0% | 2 seats | +1 | EGP | | PS (True Finns) | 9.8% | +9.3% | 1 seat | +1 | EFD | | SFP (Swedish People's Party) | 6.1% | +0.4% | 1 seats | nc | ALDE | | KD (Christian Democrats) | 4.2% | -0.1% | 1 seat | +1 | EPP |
| V (Left Alliance) | 5.9% | -3.2% | 0 Seats | -1 | GUE-NGL |
As mentioned up thread, looks like True Finns picking up at least 1 seat and the Left Alliance re-gaining their seat. Swedish People's Party and Christian Democrats could both miss out entirely with Greens looking like losing 1, with KOK or PS picking up the final seat. |

FINLAND
Vihreät's preliminary result is 11,5% which secures one seat. A second seat is still pending
