70% of constituencies for both parties pretty much voted to leave and in some areas by a significant margin. London actually is the anomaly that prevented the gap being much wider
Yes plenty want it, maybe a third? Many want a soft Brexit, many want to remain. The only plausible compromise seems to be soft Brexit.

Not for the same reasons though... and that's why this is so complicated.Plenty of conservatives want no deal as well and some labour areas definitely want it
Those in parliament who want to remain are easily in the majority. But it has all been about leaving so far. They haven't come together like they should have done. All they have done is argue like schoolkids. And who wants to listen to children arguing?

Come on the brexit party. Looking good for a big win here. Interestingly spoke to many remainers who will vote for the brexit party as they believe in democracy. Good for them.
I wonder if we can re run the election if the brexit party won? I mean what do they stand for? I don’t think we know what we are voting for.
Presumably you are voting for their one policy which is the leave the EU? Unfortunately they have no power to action this so maybe you have a point.

Not true, quite a number of cities voted remain, some by a significant margin. It is a myth that it was all London; Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol, Leicester, York, Norwich, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Glasgow all voted remain. Nobody voted for No Deal and the drivel being spouted by Farage et al about WTO Brexit.
Well by your logic then we should only ever have the 2 main parties ever standing. Obviously that’s illogical.
I would hardly call being the party that wins the Euro elections having no power. Heard it time and time again. Denial it is. Yet 4m votes for Ukip forced the referendum and Farage who has never won a seat in uk parliament was a key figure to deliver that result. Not bad for parties and people with “no power”
Wouldn’t you agree?
Just bizarre sad day for the country that people feel Farage has a solution for anything
Every leave campaigner said we’d get a deal and then leave. Nobody mentioned no deal.
The absence of information on the ballot paper doesn’t help your argument.

No, it doesn’t mean there should only be two parties standing.
They’ve no power to action their only policy. They can only influence how other parties act in future, unless they gain MPs in a GE.
Yes, Farage did help deliver that, despite never being elected to Parliament. So much for democracy then I guess?

The calibre of person up for election as an MEP for the Brexit party is sad and embarrassing. One believes child porn should be legalised. What kind of person votes for a party that would put someone like that forward as a candidate?
It's actually very simple.
The question on the ballot paper... is the question.
Remain or Leave.
ps. This time if you reply, please don't change my post before you reply.
For someone who says a vote for the Brexit Party is little more than a protest vote, you do seem somewhat rattled by the prospect of them doing well.
The whole point of the party is it's a protest vote. Good attempted deflection though.
It isn't a protest vote for most. It is a vote where they have said what the voters want to hear and they believe what they have said. If it was just a protest vote UKIP would get about as many as the Brexit lot.The whole point of the party is it's a protest vote. Good attempted deflection though.
Are you one who will only ever mention the lies/misinformation from one side but totally ignore the lies/misinformation from the other side?Couldn't work out what you meant by changing your post but I see one of my lines has moved into your post. My apologies, genuine error.
Yes, remain or leave. Both the leave campaigns said we'd leave with a great deal. It's actually very simple. The ballot paper does not contain all the information about the specific question. I know you know that, I don't know why I'm bothering really.
There is many causes. But many are ignored whereas they are massive to others.Because the root cause behind this is austerity and inequality... there are still those on the Labour side that believe in it.
Protest vote? Like the referendum result was? Blimey there are quite a few protest votes these days. Sadly no such thing for me. I’ve always voted who I wanted to vote for because of what I believe in. I call it just voting.

The referendum result was one that said fuck you to 35+ years of this neo-liberal bullshit. You fuckers are all rich, we are getting poorer and poorer by the day and the things we need in our society/local community (jobs, housing, welfare, infrastructure investment outside of London) have gone to shit.
Is that not a protest?
It’s widely considered a protest vote, even by many leave voters, but I realised people are misunderstanding the term protest vote so gave up.

By the same logic Donald Trump was considered a protest vote

The blue patches generally represent densely populated regions, so it doesn't say it all at all, the result was nearly 50:50
