Centre-right still largest

– The centre-right is set to remain the biggest group in the European Union legislature after elections in May that should also show a surge in seats for the far-right, a survey by the European Parliament showed yesterday.

The German Christian Democrat CDU/CSU alliance led by Chancellor Angela Merkel would remain the biggest single party with 29 seats, but only just ahead of Italy’s League, the far-right group now in government in Rome. – Reuters
