Got up this morning to the news that the local council and European elections were a major victory for a newish right wing, bordering on racist, party (everywhere except London where, apparently, we have more sense). Fortunately the local councils only have local power, they don't make laws, and the European parliament is made up of politicians from all EU countries, so no one country's party has any major say alone. But next year we have an election for the national government, and if we get similar results then, the country is fucked!
