Anybody, especially Mr Junckers and his ilk, that think this result means that everything is hunky dory in EU land best be very very careful about how they go about their business over the next 5 years.
The Right has risen across Europe, so much so that they are now in the mainstream and not on the fringes. If the EU refuses to change their outlook and acknowledge their failed ideology and policies then they will be doomed.
Just because the pro-EU centre parties have won this round of elections (Germany still to go obviously) it does not guarantee anything in the next 5 years.
If I was the EU commission, I would be relieved but not triumphant. They need to change and to do that they need to get rid of the self serving dinosaurs like Junckers out of the commission.
