_Bel_9ium
The Socialist~ win two seats and the Christian Democrats lose four as a result of the second EP elections. The Ecologists win two seats in the new House - another first. ·
Denmark
The Conservatives doubled their seats in the EP from two to four, taking one from the Liberals and one from Mr Glystrup's party.
France
The Union of the Opposition, an electoral list led by Simone Veil, attracted the greates number of votes, with around 43% of the total poll. The electors saw the emergence onto the European scene of Mr Le Pen's National Front with 11%. The Communists lost heavily, compared with 1979.
Germany
Roth the major parties in Germany, the Christian Democrat-Christian Social Alliance and the Socialists sustained a slight setback in the elections, while the Liberals narrowly failed to get the threshold five per cent of votes required for representation in the EP. The Greens won 8.2% of the poll and will have seats in the EP for the first time.
Greece
Pasok, the Socialist Party, remains Greece's leading -political movement despite a gain of around seven per cent by New Democracy. Epen, an extreme right-wing party, will be represented in the EP now though it is thought unlikely its leader,Mr Dimitriades, will be joined by Mr Almirante, from Italy, or Mr Le Pen, from France, in forming a new group in the European Parliament.
Ireland
Fianna Fail emerge as the winners with eight seats, compared with six for Fine Gael. The Labour Party lose all four of the seats they took in 1979.
Italy
The Communists polled some 99,139 votes more than the Christian Democrats, overtaking them in an election for the first time. (Hence the use of the term 'sorpasso' which means overtaking.) Their share of the poll went up from 29.6% in 1979 to 33.3%, the Christian Democrats' share falling back slightly from 36.4% .to 33.0%. -3-
Luxembourg
The Socialists saw their share of the vote go up from 21.65~ to 29.93 as between the two EP elections. They take two seats, the Liberals losing one. The Christian Democrats retain their three seats, albeit with a slight reduction in their share of the poll.
Netherlands
While the established parties, Socialists, Christian Democrats and Liberals held their own, two new parties emerged to win representation in the EP: the ecologists and a coalition of protestant parties.
The United Kingdom
Labour win fifteen seats from the Conservatives to give a new balance in the UK's representation in the European Parliament. The Scottish National Member was re-elected but no Liberals or Social Democrats were returned. -4-
