The unofficial 2nd EU referundum taking place today 23rd May 2019

Oh for goodness sake mycat stop playing little miss innocent

Totally Urm

New start

It’s ok I think I spelt bully right?

The unofficial 2nd referendum results

LEAVE WON ? ? ? ? ?

It was a resounding first place Firecracker and sends a shot across the bows to the government to ‘get on with it’ but as for actually winning maybe not? I’ve only just started on the newspapers - if you then add up all the votes for Lib Dems and the Greens, did the Brexit Party come out in front?

I hope so! For a party only formed 6 weeks ago they’ve had an amazing result.

?

Nope

It was Remain wot won it ?

The argument is being lost by the hard right.

The U.K. does not want a no deal. We want moderation, we won the battle against the hard right 70 years ago. It needs to be put back in its rightful place.

Even top Tories are warning that they would rather have a GE than allow one of their hard right members take the U.K. down that disastrous road.

I'm the adjudicator

LEAVE WON ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Nope wrong!

Remain won, and we have the best ??????????

The psephologist says 35% Leave, 35%Remain which leaves 30% who don't care or don't know or are fed up with the lot of them.

Nothing has changed.

Of those who did vote (in a good turnout) 53% remain and 47% leave according to Sir John Curtice.

The other parties were all standing on different tickets only the Lib Dems on remain whichever ever way you want to twist the figures The Brexit Party standing on WTO ticket won the vote in almost all regions.

It's been a huge victory for The Brexit Party and Nigel Farage.

Simple certainly appeals to simple Firecracker, doesn't it?

Upset are you that The Brexit Party won the most seats, carry on with your nasty jibes it says a lot about you.

It tells us views are still very much polarised. Not a great turnout. If 30% of those who voted voted Farage 70% didn’t, from a turnout around 40%, so,it doesn’t show a landslide for Farages views, sorry.

Interestingly the Greens did really well in Europe especially amongst young voters.

Greens were very much pro remain.

The Brexit party (leave) did win the most seats - that is clear.
On the other hand, the remain vote was significantly larger because of the way seats are allocated in this country.
IF this had been a referendum (which we all know it wasn’t) - remain would have won.

In Greece, Syriza was beaten into second place by ND, and Tsipras immediately called a snap general election.

UK governing party, knocked into fifth place, please note.

Oops, I don’t mean that the remain vote was significantly larger because of the way seats are allocated - I mean that the remain vote won a smaller number of seats in spite of more votes, because of the way the seats are allocated in the U.K.

Oh dear WWM2 I almost don’t like to burst your happy but delusional bubble, but the voters decamping from Labour and the Conservatives to the BP ( the leave voters obvs) has now shown Parliament that they must go ahead
With implementing what they agreed to three years ago and get us out of the EU asap.

I was discussing the EU voting with a friend over the weekend and he told me he had voted Brexit. I was surprised as he is usually middle of the road and not extremist in any way so asked him why he had voted Brexit Party.

He said it was to send a message to the main parties who were too busy scoring individual political points when they should be working together and coming up with a solution which would suit the majority. I then asked him if there was a GE would he vote for the Brexit Party again - he said no, although he has no idea who he would vote for. I don't think the Brexit Party would be as successful if there was a GE - as long as the major parties start to work together (if only to save their jobs!)

We now have an idea of Farages top performance range and it comes out at about a third of the electorate.

That is the most he almost certainly will ever get.

To claim the whole country wants Brexit envisioned by Faragit is simply wrong. The country is as polarised as before. 70% didn’t vote for them.
