Brilliant news if true. It is something that we should be proud of. Nigel Farage is a legend. | |

Pmsl, Labour absolutely annihilated. The message is clear. If you are not clear on your brexit position you are finished. The public position is either a full hard brexit or remain - just as it always has been. [Post edited 27 May 2019 6:21]

Most significantly, the share of the two unambiguously pro-Brexit parties — the Brexit party and Ukip — was 34.9%, markedly lower than the aggregate total of the pro-second referendum parties (the Lib Dems, Greens, Change UK, the Scottish National party and Plaid) at 40.3% The Guardian

Don’t forget to add the torries 9.1% to Brexit count, something the bbc seems to have forgot.
As for labour, they are blaming the torries 😂😂 | |

I think quite a lot of people would have voted Green or Lib Dem for reasons other than Brexit though.
I certainly did. | |

Change UK done very poorly on a clear remain policy.
Meanwhile The Brexit party was by far the biggest winner and if like the referendum, the method of first past the post was used then it would be quite simply a landslide victory on both occasions.
I love how straightaway the desperate remoaners are trying to ignore the facts and spin more anti Brexit negativity.
They all had the option to vote lib dem and get their message clear...but they didn't.
The SNP are basically flawed as they want in to the EU but want out of the UK, which in turn means out of EU...as the EU has already made it clear they won't accept an independent Scotland or Basque region of Spain.
And aren't we continually told that the rise of nationalism is a dangerous thing by Remainers...but they're so desperate to include two clearly nationalist parties to bolster their percentage. [Post edited 27 May 2019 9:35]

my maths identify that although Brexit party plus the likes of UKIP and got 35% of the vote so far, the remain parties Lib Dem, Greens, change uk etc got more so proportionally we should remain given your argument
However what it does show is the country is still split pretty much down the middle, but most people imo feel that we should leave, but with a deal if possible | | | |

"but most people imo feel that we should leave, but with a deal if possible"
You completely failed to understand last nights vote then, that position got crushed out of sight.
The bulk of the votes went to "just leave" or "bollocks to brexit" | | | |
| Farage in Southampton on 09:54 - May 27 with 1354 views | saint68 |
But that also fails to include the conservative and labour vote...si basically it's just hypothetical.
I agree that a frictionless trade arrangement would be a good thing to negotiate..but sadly Brussels seem intent on bullying the UK rather than being practical.
So a no deal is the making of the EU's and not of the British government. | |

Most significant is how it would play out in a general election.
The remain parties will never consolodate effectively.
The first thing is to get a proper hard-line Brexiteer leading the Tories.
Farages party are effectively a pressure group. Fine by me.
In the words of Malcolm X, by any means necessary | |

Seems to me that whoever gets the Tory leader gig is going to have just as much of an impossible job as May.
The likes of Mordaunt would probably be wise to bide their time and wait for a few years. | |

I'm not sure why both sides are claiming some sort of victory or mandate here, as far as i can see all that the result has confirmed is that the country is still bitterly divided and that the decisions are too close to call.
The one major takeaway, and probably the only real takeaway you can have from this, is that both major political parties are completely failing the people of the country, and i'd argue Corbyn should go as well as May.
If ever we've needed a reason to get rid of the two party cabal and have more independent politicians then this is it. Quite clearly the two party system is failed, and the parties don't represent the people anymore. | | | |

17.4m people voted leave.
5.2m fanatics turned out to vote for turtle face last night.
Hardly conclusive proof that the ‘country wants a no deal Brexit’.
Face facts leave-crazies, the country is split down the middle and our politicians need to find a compromise position or get some clarification from the people.
A no deal Brexit would be both undemocratic and economic self harm. | |

| Farage in Southampton on 11:06 - May 27 with 1241 views | saint68 |
So you want a second referendum basically...how very undemocratic.
Accept the result and move on ...it's that simple. | |

"A no deal Brexit would be both undemocratic and economic self harm"
what total bollux. If you win the vote it is enshrined in stone. If you lose then it should be rerun until you get the result you want. Sounds like the politics of totalitarianism i.e. left wing | |

Leaving the European union...it's the will of the people and should be implemented.
Not really that hard to grasp is it. | |

Leavening was the will of the people it no longer is. Count Tories for leave & labour for staying & it looks worse.

What is the point of a peoples vote? It would be very close again. What happens if remain won by 1%? Do we not think that the brexiteers would complain that there should then be another vote? More chaos?
How about just leave as instructed by the last referendum. See how it goes and then have another referendum if it all goes wrong. That way, the first vote would be upheld. If people change their mind then they can BUT after the first vote is upheld.
Simple yes? | |

The desperation in that Tweet is typical of someone who can't let it go...
Grasping at any slight possibility to overturn a democratic result is patheticism at its highest.
Out by November and get on with the important issues in our own country seems the way forward...Not messing about for months and hoping for a different outcome. | |
