The Five Star Movement in Italy has suffered a string of defeats in municipal elections, while the True Finns party in Finland has split in two after electing a new hardline leader with whom its mainstream partners in the country's coalition government were unwilling to work.
The early numbers coming out of Greece suggest that the New Democracy party and its mainstream partners may have enough votes to form a government and continue to receive the international aid that is keeping the country afloat.
