UK shouldn't have been allowed to vote in these elections anyway, now Farage is only gonna troll in european parliament


hope we EU kicks out UK soon ourselves, like we are afraid of the british scare tactics towards us, we EU have been already bigger than UK (which isn't a empire anymore, but more being laughed at for a long time by EU)

and comparing Le Pen to your brexit party and farage (brexit party i don't take serious as a political party at all) Le Pen i do take serious, france needs some change, especially when they have those yellow vests protests going on for some time now, against Macron

Why would we remove or spit them? Both have it in their manifesto to respect the referendum result, so if anything they should be counted among the Leave parties.

32% of the vote is only meaningful if you fail to consider the fact that the rest of the vote is split across several parties. 32% of the vote means that 68% of the voters did NOT vote for the party offering Hard Brexit. Let that sink in. You can't assume that Labour or Conservative voters are against Brexit, but you can safely assume that most of them are against HARD Brexit, and thus, less than half of voters want a hard brexit. Meaning that it would be thoroughly undemocratic to deliver a hard Brexit.

I'd say we're no further forward really: We know that the UK voted for Brexit, we have a strong indication that people want Brexit WITH a deal and not without one, and we have a government that is failing miserably to deliver a working deal. :shrug:.

Well yes, however, 'the Brexit Party' surely won't see themselves as a long term party? So anything bar getting their own way won't matter to them like it would other parties surely? They wouldn't have to worry about pissing off future voters...as..after Brexit there would BE no future voters if thats all the party is about? (Personally, I think the 'party' is about Farage not losing HIS seat, and his 80k wage, and not much else :laugh: )

I do think its quite unlikely they will do anywhere near as well in a GE mind. But the chance is there. Do MPs HAVE to vote for the Brexit plan? Or theoretically, could Farage just get there, say **** it, no deal brexit, do it, then leave.

Most of those who voted leave that I know (obviously not that many really) do NOT want no deal. They want to leave, but with trade deals and stuff. It really doesn't seem too popular an option, and, I don't think we can really say that 32% want it just because they voted for Farage. Theres a fair few reasons to vote for him, and it WAS voting for him, not voting for the party..in honesty really.

Euro Elections are different because they're Proportional Representation, not elected by constituency. So basically, the SNP got the most votes in every constituency, but the 6 Scottish MEPs are divided up by overall percentage for the whole country. Brexit party got (I believe) around 14% of the overall vote so they have one MEP. Lib Dems and Tories also have one Scottish MEP each. However, if this was a General Election, every Scottish MP (in Westminster) would be SNP. Bit confusing really because of the two different electoral systems.
