Never will I have awaited the outcome of a European election so intently!
Indeed. I am sure that many people are taking far more interest in the elections than any others for MEPs.

Whilst there will certainly be a vast number of "Look the Brexit Party got the most votes" comments this doesn't mean that there is a huge groundswell for Brexit and especially for hard Brexit. All polls also suggest that the sum of the anti-Brexit parties' (LibDems, Greens, SNP, etc.) votes will be roughly the same as those for the pro-Brexit parties (Brexit, UKIP, etc.), and that's without trying to guess what Tory and Labour voters want. The one thing there won't be is a "clear message" on Brexit, just a clear message that the two main parties are hopeless.

Apart from the Lib Dem’s and Brexit Party I don’t know a single thing about the policies of Labour / Tories etc and why I should have voted for them last night. I imagine a fair few people feel the same.

Will be interesting when the results come out early next week to see how split the vote amongst leave parties compared to remain parties. Gut feel saying Brexit Larty has done a good job of convincing people to vote for them as opposed to other leave parties. I’m not sure in the remain side and waiting to see the regulars.

Well, Brexit has done for Mrs May - another conservative prime minister beaten by Europe. Who's next!

Well, I think your timing is out, since Timid Teresa is staying put until 7th June. I assume that's because she wants to make sure that you don't steal the family silver when you're in Pompey the previous weekend.

Not implying anything and anyway it wasn't you who mentioned Teresa May being in Pompey for the D Day celebrations it was Locky.

Worst resignation ever btw.

You throw the carp off yer desk, and give the finger to the press corps and your useless teammate mp's, walk out the door and ride off into the sunset.

Plus ….May should have left... in May. Surely that's obvious

With most of the country voting for a 2nd referendum, it's looking even less likely that we'll ever leave.

Definite leave parties (Brexit + UKIP) 36.8%

Definite remain parties (LibDem + Green + ChangeUK) 37.0%

****/elbow confusion parties (Con + Lab) 23.4%

So, that's all clear and a definite "message to parliament".

You can fiddle with the figures to fit any argument. In 2016. 52% voted to leave 48% voted to remain, it has hardly changed. Especially given that about half the Country voted in the Europeans compared to the turnout in the Referendum.
