Love Lib Dem’s resurgence tbh

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.

A dog with a broken leg would get the same share of vote if it barked loudly for brexit

I have to laugh at Heidi Allen claiming a good night for Chanhe UK though, what an absolute joke they are

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.

They’re voting for a party that doesn’t have a manifesto, how is that not an ignorant vote, people don’t even know what they’re voting for

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.

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.

Well I voted to leave the EU so of course I would vote them

[In the Drunk Tank]

Leave vote is also split between Brexit and Tory even it's a more one sided split..

[Liam-]

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?

[In the Drunk Tank]

Lib Dems and Green are the only true remain parties (and Change but they're polling about the same as Ukip)
