'The people's army are on the march': 'Over the moon' Nigel Farage hails biggest 'political earthquake' in a century as UKIP humiliate every other party and plunge Lib Dems into leadership crisis
Tories, Labour and Lib Dems face fresh turmoil as results are announced
After 10 seats declared, UKIP have 23 MEPs and 29% of the vote, up 11.68%
Labour had 18 MEPs and 25.35% vote share, the Tories 18 MEPs and 24.56%
Clegg faces call to quit as Lib Dems slumped to fifth behind the Greens
BNP lost its only remaining seat in Brussels as Griffin concedes defeat
Turnout across 28 EU members states estimated at 41.3%
Nigel Farage today declared that his 'dream has become a reality' after UKIP stormed to victory in the European elections.
With 10 regions declared, UKIP has won more than 27 per cent of the vote, securing 23 MEPs, leaving Labour and the Tories to battle it out for second for the first time in 100 years.
Mr Farage said he was 'over the moon' and predicted that Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg could be forced to quit after losing 11 of his 12 MEPs, despite pitching the Lib Dems as a the 'party of in'.
Labour leader Ed Miliband will also come under pressure, after only narrowly beating the Tories while David Cameron faces renewed calls from some of his own MPs to strike an election pact with UKIP.
