Jerome Rivière from France's far-right National Rally, formerly known as National Front, was optimistic the election results would favor euroskeptic parties. With the European Parliament already fractured, even a small increase in seats could make a significant difference. "The European elections are not the end of the movie, or the end of the world, rather it's the beginning," he said. Will they be able to get maybe good results in the national elections in the member states? Europeans are already using them," he told CNN, adding that big data was one area European parties could benefit from.
