A little European context for our election results.

I have compiled a league table of European Council members (excluding the Presidents of the Council and Commission who are not elected by the general public). In their most recent open elections, Theresa May’s 42.4% share of the vote actually puts her in fifth place of the 28 leaders ... Four of her counterparts have never faced the electorate as leaders. Seven did not even top the polls in their most recent elections. (Three of them came third!) In fact only three of the 24 Parliamentary systems have a single party with a majority of the seats. Seven seats short of an overall majority, May’s is the sixth strongest Parliamentary position of the 24.
