I mean... the referendum result was a shock, Trump was a shock to most but I personally feel by that point the "tides" were starting to look pretty clear (hence betting on him winning). I don't think these EU election figures are a shock to anyone at all? They're pretty much as expected, surely.
People will try to argue that they show an appetite for remain. People will try to declare it a "Farage Win" and an indication that there's an appetite for hard Brexit.
What they show in reality is exactly the things we already know:
1) The country is still split almost exactly down the middle on Brexit.
2) Brexiteers are still split on whether they want a deal, or hard Brexit.
3) People have become disillusioned with the mainstream parties.
4) Scotland wants nothing to do with this Westminster shambles
