GRcade EU Elections Exit Poll

DML wrote:Its a +6 seat swing to definitively Remain parties. (Labour not included).

Imagine if Labour flipped to Remain....

The MEPs Labour are sending to Brussels are heavily Remain leaning.

My region:

BRX: 36.3%
LIB: 21.6%
GRN: 15.6%
CON: 9.6%
LAB: 9.6%
CUK: 4.3%
UKIP: 2.3%

My region:

South Cambs and Cambridge saw the Lib Dems, Greens and Brexit Party do well but overall East of England the Brexit Party came out top. strawberry floating farmers.

By the looks of things Labour votes went to the Libs and Tory votes went to BP.

But of course that won’t be the narrative pushed by the right wing gutter press here.

Worrying to see a huge right wing surge in Sweden too, but the social democrats managed to do better than predicted.

The result for my area...



Pretty much expected this.

It'll obviously get spun differently but is this anything other than the Brexit party taking advantage of a collapse in the UKIP and Tory votes?

BXP took UKIP and Tory votes.

Lib Dem’s and Green’s took Labour votes.

God knows what the Tory and Labour votes mean though.

Blimey . It's kinda cool but surely you can't accept that as a vote? Answering my own question, yes, you can .

I can't quite believe how low the turnout was; circa 38% for the UK. I wonder if it suggests that the vast majority of people just aren't too fussed about politics; or that they just don't like the parties?

I would hazard a guess; right wing remainers and left wing remainers. I know both proposed Brexit plans but there were voices from both remain and leave in each party. I found the Tory's plan unacceptable and though Labour's was more palatable, I would have preferred it if they retained free movement.
If we accept that those two were the party's trying to find a compromise (although with very different agendas), I suppose we can extrapolate that the 'Great' British public are not interested in said compromises. So where does this leave us? At this point a confirmatory vote seems the only way forward and Labour must back it, as their efforts to find a 'middle ground' have failed to resonate. We need to unite all of the left leaning parties to destroy this abhorrent movement. I think this may lead to serious civil unrest, but I we cannot stand by and let these people formulate our legacy. The stats you have posted are, at least, encouraging.

That Green wave

I struggle to imagine the UK in civil unrest I guess people would queue up to tut very loudly.

Has anyone posted the turnout percentages?

Labour and Tory are both thick as gooseberry fool if they think the UK want a compromise. It’s been obvious since 2016 that nobody wants to give the other side anything.

One side understands any deal is worse than what we already have. The other side understands if we leave they'll be worse off. You can't comprimise with idiots and I know calling people names makes them want to leave even more, but those banana splits can strawberry float right off if they want to make my life worse.

“We voted Leave because you called us idiots” say the idiots.

I don't really think this is great for anyone. You've got to think that if we had a general election both the Tories and Labour would do better as people would vote on other issues and you'd see the turn out double. That would hurt the Brexit Party and Lib Dems chances of being able to form a government without some kind of coalition. But both main parties would lose seats. I think there's a good chance that both labour and the Tories would lose their leadership as well Which wouldn't be good.

Considering how low the turnout was compared to a general election (at least 30% less) or another referendum, I don't think last night was a good indicator of anything on that front. Many people also vote for less popular or different parties during EU and council elections when compared to a GE.

Only thing last night reiterated yet again is that the country is still split down the middle when it comes to EU membership, and that's even with the vast majority of the country not voting.

Everyone is going to go on TV and radio telling you 'the message is clear' though.

Who voted UKIP?
