Brexit Party wins in EP elections in the UK

The EU-skeptic Brexit Party of Nigel Farage, formed just a few months ago,  has already secured 28 seats in the European Parliament with votes still being counted in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The UK has a total of 73 seats in the EP. The pro-European Liberal Democrats party (15 seats) came second, followed by the Labor Party (10 seats) and the Green Party (7 seats). The ruling Conservative Party came fifth, securing only three EP seats. According to BBC, this is the Conservative Party’s worst result in national elections since 1832.
