Irony is that what we are seeing in the UK in terms of voting for Euro-Skeptic parties is replicated across the EU. Even when we're being least European we're being European. Goes for a lot of things.
Vote does show that the British electorate is probably more sophisticated than given credit for. It seems to me they/we have worked out that you can do diferent things with your vote according to whether you're voting local, national or Euro.
Another interesting thing is that the only 'party' to attempt EU-wide strategy was the Greens -and they are somewhat Euro-skeptic [favouring devolution, against common currency ...]
PS apologies re the map: it seems to exlude Finland and Eire but includes Norway -so not the EU really...
