European Elections 2019

Polling station bod said as I left "See you at the General Election", the presumptuous twat.

I was wibbling a bit over which way to vote. Not sure whether I went the right way in the end, but the comforting thing is that it will make fuck all difference.

The latest polls suggest that Brexit may get 34/35%. UKIP say 4%. That is a lot less than 50%. That doesn't account for pro-Brexit tory or Labour loyalists, I know but the media are banging on about how Brexit is winning. On those numbers there is not a pro-Brexit majority.

no where near as many leavers are voting this time compared to last time


know more than one person who first vote was a EU Ref..

but the same is said for the other side

still think the arseholes could come out on top after the EU ref result

Thinking of moving house before then?

I'd say that a single-issue party getting 34% in an election, beating all the main parties, after only being formed a couple of months, could definitely be seen as "winning".

Victory will be claimed regardless.

still surprised at what the protest side of a Conservative party really get from voting for the Brexit party


aside from make the whole episode more farcical

Shit, no one got my Fleetwood Mac joke . . . or they were too polite to mention it.

Well whatever you do, Don't Stop.

 

[StoneRoad]

Voted.

Poll clerks claimed turnout was about double that for the recent mayoral farce / election.

Anyone who votes labour in this election is basically as bad as those fence-sitting MPs in the house of parliament that they probably moan about.

I basically support the Labour position on brexit, so that's not a problem for me.

What is the Labour position on Brexit?

 

[Puddy_Tat]

seemed a bit busier than the local elections a few weeks back

What is the Labour position on Brexit?

Ultimate clarity

Ultimate clarity

That doesn't appear to be a credible source

Precisely why I voted Labour. Neither Remain nor Leave can claim my vote.

That source has never been proven wrong on any article.

I doubt that very much.
The person who writes it is a weapons grade arsehole with no credibility.

I thought the same about your post.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Housemate, EU citizen here since god was a boy, went to polling station and was told he couldn't vote. This seems to have happened up and down the country.

why are you asking me? you know what it is. The performance that Labour's brexit policy is unclear is one of the more tedious aspects of modern politics (and there's a lot of competition).

 

[redsquirrel]

Well apart from the time the cunt accused Liverpool fans of responsibility for the deaths at Hillsborough, something he's now officially totally incorrect on - and still hasn't apologised for.

That's the clearest I've ever seen their position laid out tbf.

 

[Orang Utan]

why not?

I haven't been paying attention. I can only stand to read the headlines and I've not read any leaflets. It's just too overwhelming to process.

I've just seen it happen at my polling station. Apparently this time EU citizens had to fill out a special form to say they weren't going to vote in their home country. It seems like they weren't told they had to fill the form out or something? Why did they change the rules?

You don't have to fill out a special form if you're on the electoral register in two places if you have 2 homes or are a student or something

upthread you said you voted green and 'blamed Labour' for making you do it. What were you blaming Labour for?
