European Elections 2019

[Rob Ray]

Tommeh and Batten's Ukip (including king dipshit himself) facing total wipeout is probably going to be the only positive thing Farage will achieve across the whole long miserable trudge of petty jingoism he calls a career.

A campaign for a new referendum stamping on your face, forever

I don't understand your post. What is happening forever?

 

[DexterTCN]

I was about to reply to that.

tbh the fact that the bp is winning votes from labour in labour heartlands that voted leave isn't surprising. We're fucked basically. I don't see any non-destructive way out.

sorry it was a multiple failed edit

Orban wins big in Hungary.

Orban wins big in Hungary.

That's how Scotland sees England.

It's almost as if one of the major political parties ought to advocate a compromise position retaining much of the most important aspects of membership whilst respecting the referendum result?

They tried that and it failed. There really is no way out of this apart from more referendums.

Sutton (my Borough):

LD : 32.8%
Brexit : 30.4%
Lab : 9.8%
Tory : 8.5%
Green : 8.2%
UKIP : 3.2%
Others: 7.1%

We'll see. Something like the Common Market 2 proposal could have been a way out of this. That's still true.

Did Rees-Mogg's sister win a seat?

 

[skyscraper101]

Yes

Much as I hate to say this, I think there was a referendum, and the result was disappointing.
I think it was a foregone conclusion May had fucked the Tories, but the large Brexit party vote is exceptionally bad news, and is effectively a second referendum as they only have one policy.
This is a bad day.

 

[DexterTCN]

Yes

um

jesus fucking effing christing effing fuck

Not yet, but there will be.

Did Rees-Mogg's sister win a seat?

She's East Midlands (my area) we had 2 UKIP's, 2 Tories and 1 Labour before now we have 3 Brexit Party, 1 Labour and 1 LibDem.
She was first pick on the Brexit Party list so she was effectively guranteed a seat.

Labour is not a ‘Brexit Party’, fucking dunce.

ouch

 

[Dogsauce]

Will give a good funding stream for Farage’s proposed Five Star Movement type party.

 

[DexterTCN]

You have some proof of this?

 

[Dogsauce]

You have some proof of this?

To assume people voted Labour in support of Brexit is wide of the mark. Know loads of remainers that stuck with them.

Do you have some proof that labour is not a brexit party though?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

It's not binary. Brexit party is a brexit party. Libdems and greens are explicitly remain parties, as are Plaid and the SNP. Neither labour nor the tories are explicitly either.

Clare Regina Fox elected

 

[Balbi]

So they're the target for both sides in a second referendum, the swing vote.

Remain will have to articulate a position that is both 'remaining in the E.U' and avoiding the 'going back to normal' shit that a lot of the Remain hardcore keep banging on about. And they'll be doing that against a Brexit Party which will capitalise on screaming 'OUT OUT OUT' and relying on those who want that, and attracting those who're so sick of fucking Brexit they just want an end to it one way or another.
