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.

So, the fact that near all of England is blue..doesn't necessarily mean all the European MPs for here will be Brexit party then? Thats..a silver lining at least. Though I still don't know what they actually DO

Looks to me like theres been a rather large shift towards anti-brexit tbh. The gap has widened pretty consistently since the vote, as MPs **** about. It was neck and neck.Though of course, this can't really be taken as a proper public opinion as..well so many didn't bother voting (and it wasn't a pro/anti brexit vote anyway really, though many took it that way), this is the opinion of what..32% or something of the country?! Useless in itself, but interesting none the less.

There's a slight indication that there's a shift to anti-brexit but it could still be roughly 50/50; it's hard to know the Brexit intentions of Labour and Tory voters.

However, it IS safe to assume that all of the "non Brexit party" voters and at least HALF (and that's a low estimate) of Tory and Labour supporters definitely do NOT want Brexit with "no deal". It's relatively sensible to assume that any Tory or Labour voters who are in favour of No Deal would have made that clear by voting Brexit Party.

So if you take "remain" off the table and make it "Some sort of EU deal vs No EU deal", the results are extremely clear. The UK does not want "No Deal". That idea quite simply has to be put to bed, and Westminster needs to either complete a deal that works or revoke A50. Anything else is resoundingly undemocratic at this point.

No that is correct 40 per cent for pro remain opposed to 35 per cent pro Brexit
