Europe wakes up to hostile new reality

The centre has held in Europe with the pro-EU parties taking most of the seats, says Europe Correspondent Ann Cahill.

EUROPE woke up to a new reality with a significant number of people willing to support politicians who are anti-semite, anti-foreigner, anti-any other nationality, anti-EU, and anti-euro.

The past six decades of building a united Europe has been momentarily stalled with a seventh of the seats going to avowed racist candidates.
