European voters punish the left
Centre-right parties have done well in elections to the European Parliament at the expense of the left, according to exit polls and initial results. The parliament's 736 seats are up for grabs. Preliminary figures suggest the lowest-ever turnout, at 43.39%. The European Socialists will have 155-65 seats, down from 216 in 2004. The centre-right European People's Party (EPP) is expected to get 263-73, down from 282.
