EU Elections 2019

[SirGalahad]

Brexit party = 31.6%

Lib Dem + Greens + SNP + Change UK = 39.4%

So it's clear the non Brexit voters split their votes but have higher overall percentage of votes.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

staunch remainers will put party before country and grudgingly vote Tory.

I'm not so sure of that.

But we may find out - a GE is likely to happen very soon if a hard-Brexit nutter becomes PM.

 

[SirGalahad]

Do you think the Tories will adopt such a manifesto that will see them out of office?

Manifestos are old hat - the Brexit party doesn't even have one.

The litmust test for most voters is pro or against Brexit.

I don't think there is any debate that the Brexit Party won. They got the most seats and the largest share of the vote. Conservatives are a leave party as they were elected on that ticket. I get that it doesn't help the "remain won" argument, but that is nothing more than adding up the losers and saying more people voted against than for.

The country is still divided roughly 50/50 +-5%. We therefore need a solution that is a compromise. But not a solution that sees us pay 10s billions for nothing or one where we just leave without fixing anything.

A vote of no confidence to allow Corbyn in haha. The lib Dems smell victory already despite this being indicative only. I reckon this will muddy allegiance even more amongst mps.

Absolutely agree but the more the MPs attempt to delay Brexit the more hardline views are forming each side. I think including marginal people who have just had enough and want to move on either way.

Ignore Frogface at your peril, alot of people laughed and brushed him aside, but look at him now, alot of people like him because even if some of it is BS people have had enough of these snowflake try to please everyone parties, some decisions need to be made and sometimes you have to man up and follow it through, and you can't blame him for wanting that.

What did they win?

They got 28 out of 73 in Britain; 28 out of 751 in Europe.

I know everyone is looking at it as a second referendum but in that respect, not much has changed - 32% of the votes.

... MPs attempt to delay Brexit ...

Yes it's very noticeable that the Brextremists who claim to want brexit refuse to support any of the available options. If they had done, we'd be out by now.

more seats than any other party.

 

[gasbanni]

Could be right. What has UKIP achieved in Europe since 2014?


Not quite.

UKIP are the reason for the referendum ! They've served their purpose......... to shut them up and see them off Cameron put it to a referendum expecting it would be the end of them .....how wrong he was about how he thought it would go !

Now we have newer better champions to carry the fight on !!!! Without UKIP we wouldn't be where we are today ! A remain politicians nightmare .........

 

[gasbanni]

You do realise that some people who vote Brexit do it as a protest vote

If that comforts you then believe it.....just don't think Brexit won't happen otherwise you'll be very very dissapointed
