If you mean that more and more people in America are putting individual differences aside and concentrating on the greatest threat to America, their president, then that is absolutely true

of course i want to see an end to racism, but Trump doing that just seems a bit too unrealistic to be true

With the public set to vote in the European Parliament elections today, the latest polls show that Nigel Farage's Brexit Party is likely to gain the most votes in the UK.

Although the vote takes place in the UK today, the results are not expected until Sunday evening due to most other EU member states casting their votes that day.

The Conservatives are on course for their lowest ever share of the vote in a nationwide ballot and could even slip into fifth place behind the Greens.

Establishment parties are expected to suffer across the EU, both at the hands of the populist-Right as well as resurgent liberal parties.

The result is likely to be a more fragmented European Parliament, with the centre-Right EPP and centre-Left S&D forecast to lose their combined majority.

To break this down into a more meaningful figure:

Definitely Pro Brexit: 29
Definitely AntiBrexit: 36
??????? Who knows: 13


If you split that "question mark" group evenly (and that's being generous, the fact that 10 are Labour I think indicates that more are probably remain)

Pro Brexit: 35.5 MEP's
Anti Brexit: 42.5 MEP's

I wonder who gets the head and who gets the legs

Are you counting Labour and the Conservatives as "definitely anti-Brexit" even though it's in their manifestos to respect the referendum result?

Looks like Labour and Conservative are under 'who knows'..which is about right really given both seem split.

Read it again Oliver, Labour (10) and Conservatives (3) make up the "???" group that I've split down the middle. I say that's "generous" because I suspect more than half of the Labour vote will be down to "lifelong voting patterns" - always have and always will vote labour - but would probably not vote "leave" in an EU vote.

I have literally no idea how you came to the conclusion that I put the Labour and Tory votes as all anti-Brexit

A lot on twitter seem to be doing all they can to make out hard brexit won this by a landlslide. Accusing others of manipulating the votes while..manipulating the votes.

The only way to do it (as you did), when estimating on this, is to split Labour and Tories down the middle, as thats how they seem. But I would agree that Labour are more anti brexit in general, but splitting evenly is clearly the fair way to do it. Not to..as I have seen...put Tories in hard brexit and put Labour in their own category to make out that Hard brexit 'won'

Mr Farage was the major winner as he was elected in the South East region and said: "History has been made. This is just the beginning."

He delivered a stark warning to the Tories and Labour as he claimed The Brexit Party was ready to inflict the same damage at the next general election.
