3:50 pm
parliamentary elections well europe's mainstream political parties have suffered big losses as greens liberals and nationalists have gained ground in brussels the usual actions have also seen the biggest turnout in 20 years we'll get the latest from our correspondents plus analysis after this look at the outcome. an electorate of over 400000000 had its say after counting began it soon became clear that voters had spoken out against the solid center of european politics. be a facing a shrinking center of the european parliament the center of those parties who believe in the future of europe wants to thank c. europe wants to have an officious approach for the future of europe that is will be a face in a shrinking center that trend gave german mainstream parties their worst ever e.u. election results. while boosting the

europeans are right. in france naveen lappin again beat the french president's party. hungary's viktor orban spelled it out for icing good the migration issue by itself and the reaction of the people only below reorganize the political spectrum with the european union called the traditional party families will not play the same role in the future as they have done in the recent years socialists and democrats party list candidate france timmerman called for humility as his party lost 35 seats and stressed the need for cooperation among the so-called progressive so i will repeat my proposition to work with other progressive parties in this parliament to try and build a program that addresses the aspirations the dreams and also sometimes the fear is
3:52 pm
of our fellow europeans. those progressive parties include the jubilant greens resurgent in germany and set to become a big hitter in the european parliament women and the liberal ouda group also made significant gains their candidate might be to have a style year now has designed on the coming european commission president comes from living in europe thank you that monopoly of power is broken. and this is of course why we can do something else and i very much appreciate it was my colleague trying to more than just set that a coalition can be built of those who wants to do something. yellow vests protesters in brussels on sunday they see the e.u. is undemocratic everybody wants to change europe the fight over which way will be played out in the parliament and on the streets. ok now as the results come in from the 20 member countries of the the trends are now getting clear here are the
3:53 pm
projections for seats in the next european parliament let's look at that surge for starters for the greens to look likely to take 69 seats in new parliament the liberal all the group will be taking 102 seats despite its heavy losses the center right european peoples party that's still the biggest group 167 seats and if you look at the 2 right wing populist blocs here on the right of our graphic we see them at 4773 respectively that puts them at 120 seats together ok let's go live to brussels now where do you w's teri schultz is standing by with reactions there terry europeans waking up to a new political reality today for the 1st time in 40 years the center as we've been hearing has shrunk no longer in command of the majority in the parliament what changes can it be business as usual. well no bryan it can't be business as usual because as we've been discussing the 2 largest political groups the european people's party and the socialists and democrats have lost their numerical
3:54 pm
advantages they are used to being able to make decisions in what's been called the grand coalition they didn't have to seek support from other parties now they will have to and so they simply can't continue as they have in the past and nor should it be business as usual because as we've seen european voters have reversed decades of apathetic participation in these elections to turn out in record numbers in some countries more than 50 percent of eligible voters to say that status quo simply isn't good enough anymore so while most of that passion is pro european some of it's also anti european and all of those voices are going to be better represented now here in brussels ok the big turnout you just mentioned has 2 main beneficiaries on the one hand we have the greens on the left we also have the nationalist parties on the far right will they be able to to make their new numbers a have any impact in parliament can they be ignored at this point. they can't be
3:55 pm
ignored anymore because as we've said the 2 largest political groups can't simply push through legislation based on banding together so it remains to be seen whether they can actually get policies through if you're talking about the far right and the nationalist parties who didn't show up. results didn't show up to be as large as they had expected but the large political groups will have to seek support probably from the greens from the liberals and that will make things more democratic here at the same time and for vedder the head of the european peoples party which remains the largest political group says he will not be working with parties that don't share the european spirit so even ahead of these new lawmakers arrival in brussels he's trying to dampen their expectations that they're going to be kingmakers ok terry shoals for now thanks very much for that from brussels let's cross over to a london now where nigel fraud as you breck's a party has been the big winner there. can you give us a sense now explores why the in london for us of this abraxane party's victory
3:56 pm
about its scope where you are in london. well it's been absolutely huge the impact that for august bricks at parties when one has had particularly over the conservative party the conservative party the ruling party who didn't come 1st or 2nd or 3rd or 4th but 5th in these european elections and in fact is that was share of the vote in almost 200 years so really catastrophic for them they have lost lost so many voters to niger for us is brics it party and there was a lot of hand-wringing about what they do now could this be the end of the conservative party and many voices this morning saying we've got to deliver bricks it deal or no deal we've got to deliver bricks it's we have to somehow pull back those voters it's not though just obviously the conservative party labor have done
3:57 pm
very badly to put for for very different reasons not because they have lost their votes to the liberal democrats the liberal democrats want to remain in the e.u. so you see how divided the electorate is here in the u.k. ok divided electorate and a huge shake up let's play a sound bite now from nigel's fraud's laying out what he wants to see happen now we've got a deadline of the 31st of october all right that is the date which was posed to leave the european union that's implied but so what we're saying is we've got a mandate we demand people over we go shooting scene to get this country ready to be whatever the 2nd so ok 2 questions right now is frauds going to be on that bracks a team and is the country going to leave as he wants at the end of october. well to the 1st question not a fraud clearly wants to be on the team and i think it will then depend on who the next leader of the conservative party is and so therefore the next prime minister
3:58 pm
but he's very dangerous to the conservatives and although someone like boris johnson may decide that perhaps he has to pull him in it would be difficult because neither front has said so far he will not form a pact with the conservatives and he's even talking if there is a general election of contesting all some $650.00 seats in the u.k. so a big big threat to them and it would be important for the tories to try to push him away but he's a huge force as we can see as to what's going to happen with bret's it is it a done deal hell no you can't say anything about brics it is a done deal we have this deadline of the 31st of october of when the u.k. is supposed to leave the e.u. that is being put down by the e.u. by brussels but as i've said before the u.k. is so divided the politicians who sit behind me here in parliament also divided
3:59 pm
about whether they want to leave whether they don't want to leave a soft bricks at the heart breaks it a no deal breaks it so nothing can be confirmed about what will happen perhaps yet again it will come down to brussels and to europe to decide whether they want this false as it has become to continue after the 31st of october or whether they just say that sit the u.k. just has to get out ok alex thanks very much for that i was forced why the. shake up in britain right now with brooke supported thanks very much. so just how disruptive inside the european parliament could the bracks it party be and euro skeptic parties in general making their substantial gains i'm joined by guts from holes political analyst talk more about that thanks for coming in this morning after hearing what we just heard from london how concerned are you about the the disruptive force that the bracks of party will be bringing when it when it sends its parliamentarians to brussels and strasburg and the other far right parties that
4:00 pm
have made gains in these elections well 1st of all thank you for having me on the show we have a slightly different view from open society foundations than the political parties the political parties tended to make this entire election about the fate of the e.u. and we were not seeing evidence for anything like that of course the political parties had to provide some information. emotion a lot of information or to convince people to vote for them but what we've seen now in the elections and in the results is what we've been predicting for ourselves before hand in the which is the right wing the right wing parties are pretty much isolated within the european parliament that will not be able to be as disruptive to ok we have material salvini nonetheless from italy saying he's going to spearhead a major bloc that will include.
