Europe Today

An exit poll from Thursday's Dutch European elections saw the pro-European Labour/Green alliance edging ahead of the far-right Freedom Party PVV, with the latter the clear winner projected to scoop seven seats from one.

However Geert Wilders PVV had been expected to outperform even that tally, and was forecast - following its commanding showing in national elections in November last year - to bag nine seats.

Caveat: this was an exit poll and the final figures may change.

So this appears to have been a big win for the PVV, but not in line with forecasts for a far-right deluge.

We asked our Dutch reporter Fernande van Tets for her thoughts on the Greens/socialists' and PVV's unexpected performance.

It's decision time for Europe. European elections start officially today with the first country, The Netherlands, opening the polling stations. 500 million Europeans are set to vote in this election between today and Sunday (9 June) to elect 720 members of the European Parliament from the 27 EU member states. What is the mood in the European capitals amid the elections? Are EU citizens engaged in the European political debate? What are the main polarising issues? Radio Schuman criss-crossed European capitals with our correspondents in Amsterdam, Rome, Madrid, Berlin, and Paris, who gave us a flavour of the atmosphere and local mood.

While elections top the political agenda, Europeans appear more interested for the time being in knowing where the cleanest European swimming spots are in anticipation of summer breaks.

This episode explores the possibility of a super left-wing group composed of so-called "red sovereigntists" after the elections. Political opposites often attract each other, so would a political group merging populists from the left and right be such a long shot?
