But with our electoral system that would be likely to have little impact. You'd end up with another hung parliament. The only debate would be which parties would join together and how much the main parties vote would shrink.I think farage would take a good few Conservative and Labour voters, and I think the lib dems would take a good few Labour voters.
Clearly, yet apparently it'll be clear that the country wants to crash out into the unknown because.... Well just because.
According Sir John Curtice, the polls for today show about 35% for hard Brexit parties (UKIP + Brexit Party) and 35% for pro-remain parties (Lib Dem, Greens, Change UK, Plaid Cymru) - Tory, Labour and SNP we’re left out of this. It’s madness how polarising this issue is.
I reckon Tory positions on Brexit will harden and Labour will probably adopt a so-called People’s Vote as policy.

We need some sort of proportional representation to make every vote count.
I don't see this getting better anytime soon. Lets say there is a general election and Labour / Lib Dem, possibly with a few others, manage to get enough to form a government and we have another referendum.I can see a Labour/Lib Dem coalition assuming that Labour now adopt a second referendum as main policy. That might actually be the only way to deliver Brexit also.
It all comes down to whether you want the idiots in Brussels deciding what goes on in the UK, or the idiots in London.
I go for the idiots in London because at least we can vote them out.
Also amazing how you can win an election with no policies and a charlatan at the front of your party. The Farage cult in full swing.
Nobody "won" anything.
63% didn't bother to vote either because they feel the EU Parliament is irrelevant or because they thought their vote didn't matter.
Depends how you measure it.Won the most MEPs and largest vote share
FFS the spin on here, look at the map, speaking very plainly the great majority of the nation in area terms voted for Brexit, the ' Remain ' vote again came from ' We want out Scotland ' and the ' Foreign vote' in and around the big cities, plus a few we are doing very nicely types in the affluent South. Like it or not, ordinary English and Welsh born folk are sending a message.
The only way to achieve a deal with the EU, is to get no deal back on the table. Then there might be some true negotiation
It's people like Emma that I love for the comedic factor.
Implying that all the remainers voted greens and lib dem, would mean that over 60% never voted for remain, my god people cling onto anything haha
This women is an absolute tool
Obviously I don't believe that 60% of Britain want to leave but its just the sheer bullshit spouted just to cling onto any last drop of hope lol
You’ve illustrated my point perfectly.... anything except a no deal is called a ‘remainers Brexit’ - it’s bullshit.
Guess what, many people don't like general election results either but guess what... We have to deal with it, called democracy
This country voted to leave, end of story
The arrogant tossers on the EU negotiating side have obviously wound up a lot of people. They need to stop pushing to change the UK decision and sort out either a fair deal or prepare for a mutually disruptive no deal.

Chances our we'll get roughly the same result again. Maybe it will swing 52 - 48 the other way, who knows, but it won't suddenly be a landslide one way or the other so we keep going with the same arguments. Possibly even more so depending what the question is this time round.
If they don't have a remain option on there that sides not happy, if they do the leavers won't be happy.
Whole thing is a compete and utter mess and there's not any route out of it that's looking great.
Leaving, if and when that happens, won't sort things. We'll have years of arguing if anything good or bad is down to leaving or not.
Corbyn should surely see that wanting another election is the height of madness-if he keeps insisting on it even after these results he has to go. Push for a second vote as a way of breaking the deadlock and get the votes back from team centrist who are committing to a policy position for the first time in recorded history.
Also amazing how you can win an election with no policies and a charlatan at the front of your party. The Farage cult in full swing.
Otherwise we’re going to have to change our red lines or loose Northern Ireland if we want a “better deal”.

I doubt the EU gives a rat's ass about Northern Ireland.
If it was a cloice between keeping Britain in and keeping any part of Ireland in they will choose to keep Britain in every time.
The funniest thing was seeing the condescending bigot Emily Thornberry last night making up policy as she went along - a second referendum backing remain - and northern labour MPs tweeting the programme telling her where she can stick it
Another referendum now more likely....if it happens we will remain. Then we can get back on with our lives and nobody has to lose their jobs. If that’s delivered with a lib lab pact and they somehow bin Corbyn then that will get my vote.
If Labour come out as a Remain party it will lose the next GE. Too many key seats that they will lose with this stance.
And for those with the usual ‘leftie’ comments... it’s the centrists that want to remain... you’re looking in the wrong direction.
