European Elections 2019

[Dogsauce]

Had a pile of Lib Dem anti-Corbyn leaflets and a solitary UKIP one through the communal letterbox for the flats I live in today. Somehow found their way to the recycling bin unread, such a shame.

People I know living near me sharing remainvote stuff on Facebook telling people to vote green in the south west. Was considering green because it’s the sort of stuff that does need addressing transnationally, but this put me off. Not going to vote based on Brexit issues.

Can see the Lib Dems forming a rainbow coalition with Brexit party after the next general, in order to ‘soften’ Farage’s plans, then selling out their voters again. Fool me twice and all that.

this the same lib dems who have joined the ukippers to prop a tory minority administration on bolton council?

 

[Buddy Bradley]

We've not even had any voting forms through the door yet.

 

[spitfire]

Got this one today, East London. We've also had UKIP, BP, Lab, Green and LD.

Labour is normally the main party in Wales, but according to YouGov they are now in third place, and the Tories are in sixth place.

Brexit - 36%
Plaid - 19%
Labour - 15%
LibDem - 10%
Green - 8%
Tories - 7%
UKIP - 2%
Chuckle UK - 2%

That would give 2 seats to BP, and 1 each to PC & Lab.

Brexit party taking Wales by storm as Labour support HALVES - poll

I've been thinking about turnout. Feels like people who are passionately leave or remain will definitely turnout, I'd assume - or at least I think they will, passionate leavers have the Brexit party to vote for and presumably passionate remainers will be passionate about voting in European elections. But will anyone else really bother?

Today's ComRes reckons so..

 

[Dogsauce]

Leavers will come out as they’ll be motivated by recent stalling of the exit process. There’s some momentum with remain campaigners too but unfortunately those heading the campaign are pretty unpalatable to reasonable human beings, so don’t think they’ll do as well. Leave will claim the mandate.

 

[cupid_stunt]

The worst is going to have to wait until Monday morning for the full results.

Bloody Europeans coming over here & delaying our election counts.

FUCK. I knew I should have bet on the Brexit Party to get 40%+ at 8/1. I went for 35-40% at 4/1. Now BOTH are 9/4.

Hopefully the Remaniacs will be out in force to balance it out.

Yep, come Monday morning Farage will be doiong open top buses, tv studios and the rest claiming a thunderous victory with his, say, 35%. However given the ambiguity of Labour towards brexit (and the Tories to a lesser extent) it will be difficult to allocate their votes with regard to remain or leave. But a win is a win and Farage, along with Raab, Johnson and the like will be making the headlines next week.

35%

You had BETTER be right about that Wilf

My 2 penny-worth = 32% for Farage

I was going to vote for falange of course, but will be happy not to if it makes you a few quid.

That's no good either!

My main hope for the EU elections is that spacklefrog loses his stake at the bookies. Dont mind whether it's too high or too low.

You're a very bitter man. It's not like I don't share tips, you could have got in on this!

Sorry if already posted, DYOR obviously because if everyone pays attention to this then the so called guaranteed seats go out the window!

So apparently I should vote for the Chuckies. Maybe not I think.

 

[cupid_stunt]

YouGov are using big samples for their polls, but coming up with some very strange figures, Brexit now on a whopping 37% & a lead of 18% over the LibDems, with Labour dropping to 13% & the Tories 7%, surely this can't be right?

I guess we will find out next Monday.

Why do we have to wait till Monday to get the results?

Why do we have to wait till Monday to get the results?

Counts are only started once the polling stations right across the EU are closed, UK results will start being released Sunday night, but full results will not be known until sometime on Monday.

ETA - Argonia -

In 2014 the election was held on Thursday 22 May, coinciding with the local elections in England and Northern Ireland, and most results were announced on Sunday night with the exception of Scotland, which did not declare until the following day.

[ItWillNeverWork]

Why do we have to wait till Monday to get the results?

Because Fridays are the day when the entire EU machine is focussed on meeting it's weekly banana straightening quota, Saturdays is when they pack up the offices of the entire civil services to relocate them 30 metres down the road, and Sundays is when they lounge around smoking cigars made of £50 notes, planning the next office orgy whilst figuring out what to do about the problem of declining Eurovision viewing figures.

Some time around 11:55 in Sunday evening they will finally log onto their EU super computer to randomly generate the election results.

 

[Wilf]

At least we won't be seeing any annoying footage of people sprinting the ballot boxes into the count in Sunderland. Gets my goat that does.

It would be quite something if the combined lab and con vote only just beat the lib vote. Like you I'm not too sure about that, though turnout/who turnsout will be key.

 

[Wilf]

Certainly lab and con have done just about fuck all to drag back the vote in their direction in the last couple of days.

I going out on a limb here, but that looks to me like a country divided.

 

[killer b]

The spread across the polling companies is ridiculous. Someone has totally fucked this one up, and I hope it's yougov.

 

[cupid_stunt]

The Tories don't seem to be trying, has anyone actually had an election address from them?

I've only had the ones delivered by the Royal Mail for free* from the Brexit Party, Labour, Green & today UKIP, plus a separate hand delivered one from the Greens.

* Only the BP & UKIP went to the trouble of personally addressing them.

Nothing from the LibDems, Chuckle UK or the Tories.

Less surprising nothing from the Socialist Party of Great Britain, UK European Union Party or any of the three independents standing in the SE region.
