European Parliament Election Results Available Here!

You may use the dropdown box available at this LINK HERE to see the final results sorted by your chosen European country.   Total seats and voter turnout (how democratic were they?) below.  Why and how does this matter?  Many reasons, for example, it would be difficult for the EU Council to set a policy that will not ultimately have enough votes to PASS in the European Parliament.  Make sense?

As Mr. Janus points out, Nigel Farage's Brexit party showed strong in UK elections, though voter turnout was low.
