Nigel Farage's Brexit Party stormed to victory in a European election, but coming in second is a party that's calling for another referendum
BRUSSELS - Parties committed to closer European Union integration began bargaining over jobs and policy on Monday after an election to the EU parliament which fragmented the center but gave only limited gains to nationalists.
But despite other wins for eurosceptics in big countries, including France, Poland and would-be ex-member Britain, the result was taken as a vote of confidence by mainstream leaders after turnout surged and nationalists advanced only modestly. But the far-right and other nationalists, including Nigel Farage’s triumphant new Brexit Party, Marine Le Pen’s National Rally, which edged President Emmanuel Macron’s liberals in France, and the ruling parties of Poland and Hungary may find it hard to overcome long-standing differences and turn what may be about a quarter of Parliament’s seats into a united force.
