could be a wasted vote?

As the Brexit Party
is due to take most seatsMy vote is always a wasted one, even the rare time my vote does win, the establishment tell me that I'm a racist bigot for voting the way I did, and we need to have another vote, because the didn't like the way I voted. Almost 3 years ago, and still nothing has been implemented.

[Crimson Dynamo]

i have my polling card at the ready

[joeysteele]

No surprise from me, I'll be voting Labour.
However, all are likely wasted votes in these elections anyway.

We as a Nation have been sending for a good while to the EU, many, and too many, people who have never wanted to be there.
Except for the salaries.

I've changed my mind on this and I will be voting in the EU elections. As a remainer, the lib dems are going to get my vote, and I think they are going to do rather well.

Seems a bit of an about turn for you bots :think:

it is yes, but all bets are off now. I voted to remain in the EU in the ref, but given the mess that the UK parliament is now, I think the lib dems best represent my stance, the tories don't, labour don't and the brexit party certainly don't :laugh:

[bots]

I think at the next GE the tory party will be all but wiped out

[joeysteele]

I will be heading to vote shortly.
My hope would be voters who can do go and vote and my main hope would be.
More vote for Parties not in favour of more division in the UK, so for one of the Parties standing against the likes of Brexit Party or UKIP.

It's fairly certain the 2 main governmental Parties will be unlikely to do well today.

It is going to be really sad and nauseating for me to see Farage and his pathetic sick grin celebrating on Sunday onwards.
I just hope all his expectations aren't realised in these elections, or in fact ever are.

Labour needs to look at what happens today and think hard.
The Conservatives really too, need to set out to ensure they reverse the new momentum that Theresa May's premiership has handed to Farage.

I love politics and the UK.
I would desperately hope for a change of Labour leader.
I still have respect too for the many in the Conservative Party who do believe in decency.
My hope is they will elect, from outside the main box as leader, someone who believes more in consensus and who will be more compromising.

Please try not to fuel the hate, division and self centered ego of Farage in these elections.

I agree Nicky.

I really feel if he does as well as expected.
The UK will end up even more divided than now.
If that's even possible.

No policies.
Just hate and division spreading is all he's ever been good at.
Really sad politically, really sad to witness.

can see Farage, and Tommy having set that whole ''milkshake gate'' up for attention, their promotion stunt, which came in handy just near these EU Elections

a civil war in the UK could be the result, and i don't want that


here in my country, now also a deluded idiot Baudet has stood up, and wants a Nexit, back to our coin Gulden :facepalm:

you don't need to go back, but move forward and work together with EU, i never agree with our PM Rutte, but now i do, he is right about we don't need the same chaos as there is now in the UK

[Alf]

Oh, Tommy Tommy
Tommy Tommy Tommy Tommy Robinson

People in the North West, get out and vote for Tommy.

[bots]

The brexit party are going to dominate the South East which returns the largest number of seats ... thats a given, the opinion polls are not even close

A large number of people are just not going to vote .... why would they bother when we are supposed to be leaving.

The other main benefactor will be the lib dems ... they should get a lot of protest votes too, but not in the scale that the brexit party will get.

Scotland will be almost entirely snp ... which is basically a remain vote


That's how it will play out .... the country will still be divided along the lines we already knew. There is really nothing more we can take from this other than if the Conservatives and Labour don't sort this mess out now, they could both be shadows of their former selves at the next GE. The conservatives are going to have to come up with something extraordinary if they want to still be a viable party.

We can focus on building a country where everyone has the opportunity to get on in life. Instead of letting Brexit consume the next decade, let’s focus on tackling climate change, building the best health and education systems in the world and tackling the inequalities that limit life chances for so many people

one of the best things i've read on here lately


a Brexit or a Nexit is just unnecessary, ''about feeding the huge ego's'' nothing more nothing less



UK wants power, fight for more power within EU, and use that to get european parliament also discussing climate change, building best health, education systems in the world, like you say

[Alf]

Will he win?


We Find out Sunday NightI don't know how it all works with Euro elections, but he's gonna do well, whether it's good enough to make him an MEP? who knows? But he's got a fighting chance, he has decent support on show at his rallies. And the protesters help his cause. They are his creators.

He must beat the others in his area.

[bots]

He must beat the others in his area.

no, thats not how it works. He simply needs to get a big enough % of the vote to be allocated a seat in the region that he is standing, he doesn't need to beat anyone.

No results until Sunday?

i think the exit polls will give a clear indication on percentages, it's not like a GE with only one winner.

I fear for the future of UK politics when Brexit party wins. How can anyone celebrate the fact that people will likely vote en mass for a party that refuses to share their policies until after an election? I think it'll kickstart a trend and if that's the case then we're ****ed. What's the point in detailing your plans when it's easier to court the uninformed and ignorant masses who'll vote for you without knowing what they're voting for anyway?

Dark times.

exactly, and every political party here in my country has made their policies, manifesto's public so people are well informed what they can vote for


so it's nothing more than normal, that sharing your policies/manifesto's is helpful for the average person, when it comes to important votes like these

[Crimson Dynamo]

Europe-wide polls show establishment parties losing their majority

At a continent level, the European Union's established centre-Left and centre-Right blocs are likely to lose their combined majority in the elections.

The latest Politico Poll of Polls analysis indicates that the two large pan-European blocs, which are comprised of a host of allied parties from each EU country, will lose seats under a tide of both populist and liberal support.

While the centre-Right European Peoples' Party (EPP) and centre-Left Socialists & Democrats (S&D) are likely to remain the largest parliamentary groups, experts warn that their current position of dominance is now "threatened".

Current forecasts indicate they will lose 97 seats between them, compared to their 2014 election result. - Telegraph


The Brexit party is at the forefront of this seismic shift in politics in Europe, time to catch the wave or forever paddle in the shallows

it's also the same with change uk ... what is their manifesto .... they stand for change ... yeah ok

[Crimson Dynamo]

and of course we all believe the utter bs that go into "manifestos"...

[Tom4784]

it's also the same with change uk ... what is their manifesto .... they stand for change ... yeah ok

Luckily they don't stand a chance tbh, if only the same could be said for the Brexit party.

[Tom4784]

and of course we all believe the utter bs that go into "manifestos"...

Yet you'll take nothing on blind faith.... Grim.

If someone lists their policies, you can hold them to it but if you vote on faith alone without knowledge of what someone stands for.... Surely even you can see the problem with that.

[Alf]

it's also the same with change uk ... what is their manifesto .... they stand for change ... yeah okThey are what it says on the tin. They want to change the UK, into a colony of the EU I believe.

it's not just because of that though


but yeah what Smollett can do, Farage can do as well, and if he did set it up (good timing too) it did work cause it did give him loads of attention, publicity from media

As expected, it looks like Brexit party are cleaning up.

The voting public are uninformed.

It’s not even that they’re uninformed imo, the left are so split it’s easy for the right to hop ship from the tories to Brexit, that’s a bigger problem imo

It’s not though is it?

31% Brexit Party + 9% cons + 2% UKIP = 42%

Then you have Labour who don’t know if they’re going forward or backward

[Wizard.]

The country are feeling angry and disenfranchised on both sides and it just sums up this sh*t show. The Brexit Party are clearly sweeping this though, which is impressive considering their three week existence.

[Oliver_W]

As expected, it looks like Brexit party are cleaning up.

The voting public are uninformed.

To write off vast swathes of the public as being uninformed is a bit ignorant tbh. There are plenty of people out there who know loads about the EU and still want out, while there are also people who know next to nothing about it and want to remain. And vice versa on both counts, obviously.

Plus, this is a democracy. I can't imagine "Joanna and Michael" could tell us much about the front bench of their chosen party during a general election, but fortunately for us all, you don't have to sit an exam before voting.

[MTVN]

Tbh this is not very important for the Tories as May will soak up all the blame for this, it's much more damaging for Labour who are keeping their leader..

Remember that the turnout is half that of the EU referendum though.. just shows people are still divided but dangerous to read too much into it

[reece(:]

The funny tinge party sabotaging Lib Dem seats?

[Oliver_W]

Yeah, people were mainly voting on the party's name rather than policies in this case. But when it comes down to it, they're voting for MEPs, not MPs who will help determine who the PM will be.

Instead of thinking about which party they want to lead the country, they're thinking about what message they want to send to the government. I'm sure there are Remainers out there who have little sympathy with the Lib Dems beyond the same stance on Brexit.

Some on LBC said this would be a "practice second Referendum", and I don't think they're a million miles off. I'd put money on a good chunk of the electorate voting on Leave/Remain principals rather than general policy.

[reece(:]

Tories getting decimated is a scream

Thankfully these elections don’t hold that much power so there aren’t as many possible consequences, the likes of Farage and Widdecombe doing well is like a slap to British values but it could be worse?

A party that refused to divulge their policies or plans literally won the most seats. People voted for a party that they didn't know anything about other than it's name. Are you really gonna clutch your pearls over what I said when the proof is right there?

Do you not know what uninformed means? Because voting for something that you don't know anything about is pretty uninformed.

Only because the rest are split lets be honest, and Brexiteers were out in force voting for their new party, in a 2nd ref remain would win that is clear and its been clear for a while which is why Brexiteers run scared when anyone mentions it and start puttering on about democracy

we all already knew that the tory's were going to get stuffed last night, but labour got battered, particularly in Scotland. If there were a GE now like Corbyn is demanding, labour and the tories would get smashed with the Brexit party, lib dems and the greens fighting it out between them.

The tories have the opportunity to do something with the election of their new leader, what are labour going to do? The labour reps last night seemed in complete disarray

[joeysteele]

The anti brexit vote was larger than the brexit vote, so I don't see how the brexit party dominated .... i thought the BBC coverage was ridiculous

This is true.
All we have is that small split still in the UK, this time marginally the other way, on a really much smaller turnout too.
An increase on the local elections.

This could have been interesting had this been a contest between say the Brexit party and say Lib Dems or other designated remain party.
None of the actual Labour votes given here would have gone to the Brexit party.

For me, its a disintegration of UKIP votes transferring to the Brexit party.
With a small number of disenchanted Conservative and Labour votes added.

The bulk of Conservative and Labour votes crossing to the stronger for remain parties, Lib Dem and Green.

Actually until last nights result,.
I wasn't sure remain would win a 2nd referendum or even wanted one myself.

However I agree with you, on all you've said above.
This less than 40% turnout still failed to give the pro brexit parties, one under the louder mouth of Farage, over 50% of the votes cast.

The splintered remain supporting votes matter since those votes will never go to pro brexit parties.
I think you are right a new referendum would likely result in a remain vote.
Certainly however a solid vote against any no deal Brexit.

It would be a massive slap in the face to the bulk of the UK, those who vote and can't yet vote, if that is now ignored by any new leader of the Conservatives.

For my current party, Labour, they must now come out for a new referendum.
If it doesn't, I will need to think where I am as to politics now.
