Worst elections results of my life. Eurosceptic, racist, xenophobic party F-HAINE (hate in french) is the first party of France. # Never felt so ashamed of being french.

If it weren't for the municipal elections happening in the same day same time same place as the European elections a lot of greek people would have abstained from voting. I'm ashamed for the high percentage of people who voted for far-right political parties.

There are different interpretations of the elections' result. Personally, I think that last elections and electoral campaign were too much polarized on the "europeists vs eurosceptics" fight and, analyzing what happened during EP campaign, anti-european parties had an easy life since their counterpart didn't give concrete ideas about what they want to do. A good example of this has been the TV debate of EU Commission candidates: everybody was aware of difficulties our Union is facing but no one of them proposed concrete solutions. About Italy: Renzi won (PSE) with more than the 40%, but I want to point out that eurosceptics took in total almost the 40% of the votes! About other countries: the pro-European regurgitation of Britain and France, the eurosceptic tendencies of countries like the Czech Republic and Hungary, which only a decade ago entered in Europe are seeing the growth of eurosceptic parties and formations, a symptom of a kind of integration that has failed to give an alternative model to many countries, showing only the rigor of the parameters instead of the spirit solidarity, civility and collective well-being. New elected Parliament should start working on these aspects and correct them if we really want to "shape a better Europe".

Beppe Grillo is preparing an ambitious but ambiguous social revolution in Italy. I think his Movimento 5 Stelle is ready to lead a city, included a big one, but their representative in the EP cannot be useful in this moment.

Really much concerned about the abstention and the rise of the extrem-right. The EP results in France were a pretty significant illustration of the lack of understanding of the stakes of the EU, as well as the unrationnal fear of the unknown. #GoingBackToCry

The social-democrats in Romania are gaining power, and I am afraid they will not focus enough on developing the independent economy. Entrepreneurship is something strange and it will stay this way if taxes go even higher. And also, these social-democrats are the successors of the communists :( The actual problem I see, is that people have lost their trust in Europe and democracy, maybe they don't realize it yet. We forget that we have to do things in order to make things happen. So we just wait for things to be given to us, so we (romanians) vote for the party that gives food/money to people before elections, the party that promises we will get all the things we want because they will give... Anyway, there are just promises of course... Why wait for others to give you things? Why? I would have expected people to start doing things for themselves, and choose the party that gives you the means and regulations to do things. Not the one that limits you, and only gives you crumbs. We lack long-term vision...

I'm panicked because of the right wing parties getting stronger.

Not bad but needs many more anti eu meps.

I'm a Federalist so I'm in the minority in the UK. I'm also a Green too. I wish to see the EU acting as one voice.

Look at France and Greece. Those countries should be excluded from EU.

The overall situation is total panic. I think that the spread of anti-Europe parties is absolutely alarming. I don't understand who says that after all the pro-Europe parties are the majority... well, in the EP they should be almost the totality! But in Italy a left-wing party won, beating a quite strong anti-Europe party. So, I am still happy.

The elecions were a mess, I'm so worried for those countries where the far right has taken control with those racist, xenophobic and eurosceptic ideas. On the other hand the results in my country were a clear sign that people is fed up of the same bipartidism, but the interest in Europe issues doesn't seem important enough for the citizens yet. Even so, things are changing for Catalunya as well (the region where I live), were the independent party took over control and stayed in the first place.

Our country is slowly changing, that makes me see a light at the end of the tunnel, yet people doesn't seem to be interested enough about Europe.

For once Italians showed some maturity in voting....

Time has come to show the real value of our EU. It is up to the people we have elected to show what the value of our Union is and to defend those values. Time has come to show the euro sceptic parties what they are worth.

How could political parties dare to pretend these elections were an opportunity to directly choose a candidate for the European Commission ? Besides the main role of the Council of EU, and the tensions from Cameron or Merkel, no parliamentary groups can impel his own candidate since none of them have a adequate majority to easily elect him. It would be a shame for S&D to vote for Juncker, who embodies everything thing in the UE the sociodemocrats were fighting agaisnt, and it is very unlikely for Schulz to get elected if Junker fails. It is then maybe a good opportuniy for a consensus around Verhofstadt... but well, just a symbolic placation. And if these candidates couldn't manage to get elected, it would be a huge demonstration of failure for european democracy.
