Ed Miliband MP, Leader of the Labour Party, said:

“Labour made real progress in these elections, pushing the Tories into third place for the first time ever in a national election. But I think what last night also reflects – including among those who voted for UKIP – is a desire for Europe to work better for Britain, and also a deep sense of discontent with the way this country is run and the way our economy works. I am absolutely determined over the next year to show people that Labour can bring the change that this country desperately needs.”
