European elections results

[lancs blue]

This "PR" system is a bit dodgy - Brexit Party getting around a third of the votes and half the MEP seats.

It's still better than FPTP, it should also get closer to the %age vote once Scotland and NI results come in.

"CHUK are down, but not out"

They were never up, now they're subterranean. Also I thought they were the "For Change" Party now?

We need to change the way we live our lives, and quickly.

Difficult to disagree mate but the onus shouldn't be firmly on us as individual citizens and should be very much on the business and corporate world that relies on us as consumers.

Sure we can and should do our bit but its pissing in the wind if government and business cant be arsed and are not forced to come to the party.

Dependant on the status of our membership of the EU or not, i too could find myself doing so although with Corbyn ditched along with his cronies and Momentum slung to the side id be very much Labour once again i think.

Being a traditional Labour voter I too would have to see where they where and who led them.

At this moment in time I’m utterly disgusted with them, mostly for the rampant antisemitism more than anything.

Feels odd agreeing with you so much on such a thread but again I do here 100%.

The government and business (through regulations) need to make it happen and quick.

Same here, though I doubt they'll get anywhere. Safe Labour seat, and all.

We need to wait and see, the times are a changing.

I can see a shock next GE.

Wow it really is strange times when we agree on the last three posts.

Loads of shocks as both main parties are heading to oblivion as things stand over brexit.

Here's hoping. Sadly I just know I live in an area that will vote Labour because it's full of "my grandpappy voted Labour, an' i'll vote Labour 'til dee I dee!" types, even though they've done naff all for the area in years.

I had a minor argument, only minor, with my dear step mother. She is really what you’d class as centre/centre left and really dislikes Corbyn, yet will vote Labour every time no matter what.

Farage's welcome to the stage having just been elected in the South East region sounded like he had been announced as a new STD..........
