I guess it depends how you look at it, but the Brexit Party are not going to win “a landslide”. 30% of the vote would make them the overall biggest party, but that isn’t a landslide and it will be far more interesting to look at the numbers of other votes.
If BP get 30%, Lib Dems 20%, Labour 19%, Tories 17%, Greens 10%, and CUKs 4%, then who has won? The Tory/Labour votes will be split between Remainers and Leavers (both sides are mental if they vote Tory or Labour at this election!) and it’s impossible to count those. Which would mean the country was split, probably with a slight advantage to Remain.
Of course Farage will be crowing about his overwhelming victory, but I don’t think it actually will be a victory for Leave, just that the frog faced racist got more votes for his party because the others are all split.
