If you go by the Local elections just a few weeks ago, the big winners where the remain parties, Lib Dem’s, Green Party and the Pro Brexit parties UKIP, Conservatives and Labour, yes leave parties as laid out in there manifesto’s lost well over a thousand seats yes it was a disaster for them. 

Don't think that was a vote for the remainer parties more a protest vote against the main parties

So why did UKIP lose so many seats? With out the birth of this Brexit party we would not be in this sorry state we are now. Like Neil H said it’s how you interpret the results giving your views on this topic.

Listened to 5 Live "Debate" on the way to the Office this morning.

Nicky Campbell asking questions about Climate change to candidates of EU Elctions:

So Mr (Green Party)
So Mrs (Lib Dems)
So Mr (Tory)
So Mr (Labour)
Brexit "Before I ask you to comment farage has denied Climate change"......

Then about Immigration:

So Mr (Green Party)
So Mrs (Lib Dems)
So Mr (Tory)
So Mr (Labour)
Brexit "We know what you think after Farage has been pictures infront of Right wing posters"......

In the end the Candidate said "Thanks for pre-framing all my questions to make me look bad.

 

[ChrisJ]

Anyone voted yet?

[Bibs]

[Sparky]

Yeah, couple of years ago, but it didn't count, apparently.

[Barrykearley]

Only cos you like me and many others were too ill informed to make a decision apparently.

Now I’m sure you are far better informed - and will vote just the same way as the first time round

Yep. Not that they’ll take any notice.

[LotusLeftLotusRight]

Long old list of candidates. A veritable Eurovision list of talent to choose from.

By the way is this Graham Brady chap the acting Prime Minister? He seems to be pulling all the Tory strings these days.

[C8RKH]

I did a postal vote a week ago.

As said above. A wasted vote. It will get ignored. I'll be told I'm a dumb racist numbfuck who doesn't know what I'm doing and people will throw eggs and milkshake all over me because they can and its justified by I deserved it.

Given this type of behaviour I now have a term for the idiots who do this in the name of remain and democracy but I'll save peoples blushes by not posting it up! I might be a numbfuck but I'm a better person.

Just seen on the news pages that an 81 year old ex para Brexit supporter was milkshaked earlier today by a young thug 

Funny how the morale high ground, "higher intelligence" liberal ( bollocks to brexit ) remainers are the ones resorting to these tactics. Ho hum... Who sang that song about "true colours" in the 80s?

Few years back I was listening to five live and Nicky Campbell was reporting from the “ cunt kentryside” he obviously meant “ Kent Countryside “ 

The first one reflects his professionalism best IMO. ✌️

Heard something yesterday that really made me think. It is so obvious I can't believe I hadn't heard it or thought it myself before.........

If the Brexit vote had been reversed, ie a small majority had voted to remain, would there have been 3 years of crap calling for a new vote or trying to frustrate remaining in the EU??

Don't think so..........

Pretty much sums up the whole shit storm this has become.

I hope to God that the new PM has big enough balls to leave at the end of Oct. No vote is needed, no agreement needed in Parliament. It is already legislated for. DO IT. Wake up the complacent bastards at home and in Brussels and then focus on sorting out free trade asap once we are out.

And the £39bn can be spent on domestic things like care for the mentally ill or children with special needs.

It really is a disgrace that in 2019 we are in the state we are in within these shores. Batten down the hatches, let other Countries sort themselves out and put our own house in order first.

Absolutely spot on.

Remain camp and numpties like Cable should be ashamed at the public money that has been squandered as a result of their intransigence. Shameful self interest in my humblest of opinions.

Just been watching the BBC EU Election program, I am surprised no one has walked out, it has just become a blatant Labour party political broadcast. 😬

 

[Barrykearley]

How does the sourbry get on the bbc this morning?

The electorate has shown she is an irrelevance.

sky news is a lot more amusing this morning 

[PaulCP]

I see the self proclaimed first President of Europe also had a good kicking in France.

Maybe time for him to concentrate on his own country’s problems rather than using Brexit as a diversion to forward his political desires.

[Andyww]

Looking through the results, the win by number of seats by the Brexit party is stunning. Then if you look deeper into the actual number of votes cast its quite incredible. Some of the margins they won by are massive.

This quite clearly gives the lie to the verdicts from some, that many leavers have changed their minds.

 

[RS blu]

I believe that Europe will have to change.Also in Italy the vote  has  rewarded the parties that want to change the European rules. I don't think it is a step backwards for the European peoples however Europe will certainly be weaker without the England. Perhaps Germany should think about it.....

[march]

Just listening to the politicians I don't think they have learnt anything from this. All parties were thrashed by a party that is a matter of 6 weeks old lead by someone who many don't really like or trust. The Lib Dems got nearly 1/2 of the seats the Brexit Party but are claiming a total victory (just waiting for them to start claiming PR is not fair), the Labour party are going to demand another referendum with the option to Remain, the Conservatives are still ripping themselves apart (Rory Stewart demanding No Deal is still off the table and has been nicknamed 'The suicide bomber'). The Green party are saying there is no mandate to Leave the EU after last nights results (don't know what they have been smoking). What is the bet we are still in the EU at the end of the year?

What a bunch of self-serving self-delusional whatnames.

One quote was that the parties do not need to worry about the Brexit party as they will suffer the same outcome as UKIP did with no real impact on UK parliament after the last election.

[Chillidoggy]

Sums up the actions (or should that be inactions?) and rhetoric of the main political parties for me -
