This is part protest vote but yet again the Hard Brexiters are so arrogant they believe they have the electoral mandate which they quite clearly don't.

The one question the EU always avoid, is why they even exist when the Tax Payers of every Country involved already pay their own Politicians to Run their own Country?

The answer is linked to the needs of Large Multinational Businesses for more and more Globalization, the Multinational were at the heart of the establishment of the EU, they needed an EU Hierarchy that was in their Pocket. An EU Hierarchy that would ensure a constant supply of cheap Labour at a controlled Labour Cost and Ease of movement of all their goods throughout and beyond Europe!

If both parties are acting in the best interest of the Country and its people then why bother having different parties...

[minerve 2] 27/5/2019 09:49

That is why a second referendum is the way to go. It is a Brexit get out which doesn't damage the Tories or Labour in a GE. Both will want to build strength.

Just wait and see. Only a matter of time.

Not good news for domestic stocks...either the Tories go hard Brexit or they lose the next general election, but in going for a hard Brexit they risk no confidence from their Remain wing and an imminent general election. Meanwhile the alternative is possibly the prospect of a Corbyn government ( unless we get a leftist coalition) and that could be even worse for domestic stocks.

I agree Mr elbee, I was being sarcastic.

[poikka] 27/5/2019 08:50

"pro-European party Change UK also didn't win a seat"

Fancy that.

[mr.elbee] 27/5/2019 08:43

5% income tax for Commission members ,fatnacker..If that is not a gravy train I don't know what is..I nearly got a job in the EU once...the cost of living allowance was way higher than the very high[now taxed at 5% salary]

a racket,nothing more, nothing less..Intelligent people are being bribed to take the 30 pieces of silver and keep their mouths shut about the truth.

The message of the European election results is clear. If we go on like this, we will be dismissed


BORIS JOHNSON

I predict a rout. In this miserable election that should never have taken place, for a Euro-parliament that should no longer represent us, the voters are delivering a crushing rebuke to the Government – in fact, to both major parties.

I cannot find it in my heart to blame them. They gave us one chief task: to deliver Brexit. They have so far given us almost three years to do it. We have flagrantly failed to carry out their instructions. We have missed deadline after deadline, broken promise after promise; and today our employers – the people – have figuratively summoned us to the Human Resources...

Congratulations to Nigel and all Brexit Party supporters.

More great news - Nige has his LBC show back, commencing this evening.

Mon - Thurs 6pm - 7pm
Sundays 10am - 12pm

These results are excellent, but fail to fully reflect Brexit voting intentions. For example, Daniel Hannon, Tory and anti-EU, was voted in again in the South-East, but would have been counted as merely Conservative and not Pro-Brexit.

What the results do show is widespread disenchantment with the EU in its present form.

Will the eurocrats take any notice? Don't bother answering that one.

[fatnacker] 27/5/2019 08:13

The eu's a "gravy train"?

[xxxxxy] 27/5/2019 08:09

EUSSR Elite with their snouts in the trough of British money.

EUSSR is Animal Farm in our time.

LEAVE and WTO

[inaminute] 27/5/2019 08:03

Farage with that idiot's grin of his. No wonder he's happy, he's back on the gravy train without having to obtain illegal funding

[xxxxxy] 27/5/2019 07:49

If the Conservative Party is impotent, then a General Election would be welcome to put them out of their misery and have Farage for PM

These elections are but an expensive sideshow to maintain the pretence that the EU is a democratic body. Cynically, MEPs are elected to an institution that merely rubber stamps decisions taken elsewhere by unelected officials.

[xxxxxy] 27/5/2019 07:04

Boris for PM.

Farage for PM even better.

LEAVE and WTO

[xxxxxy] 27/5/2019 07:03

Well done to the Brexit Party.

Still more to do though.

LEAVE and WTO

uro elections confirm Brexit view

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MAY 27, 2019

The derisory vote of under 10% for the Conservatives is a fitting epitaph for the Withdrawal Agreement. Only the Conservatives offered the Withdrawal Agreement. Anyone who wanted it would have voted Conservative. Some who didnt want it voted Conservative out of loyalty or for other ressons.

Whenever I have said in media interviews that the public have rejected the Agreement by a large majority this has been queried. This election provides more proof of the obvious. Mrs May united the country against the draft Treaty she wrongly proposed.

The Brexit party on the majority of results so far announced as I expected won more seats than the three Remain parties, the Lb Dems, Greens and Change UK combined. These new MEPs need to come to Westminster to tell MPs there how to be popular, by just getting us out of the EU with no lock back in Treaty.

The BBC seemed to think the main news of the night was the Lib Dems coming second! Once again they missed the obvious and made little of the winning view.

Farage uncanny

[bargainbob] 27/5/2019 04:31

Not surprised at the results for the Brexit Party , Shame on the UK for letting fascists be reborn .
