Euro Elections

mort

This thread has been reviewed and returned to the main forum. 


A couple of points for you to take note of.

 

We expect it to remain civil and within our usual forum rules.

 

As this is about an election the following will apply

 

Here at SF we try to ensure fair play, and that includes during elections. We don't allow links direct to political party websites or to sites that spread spurious stories for political influence at any time, and that will continue. We also ask candidates and those campaigning for political parties to follow our code of conduct in the run up to elections. In order to not provide any influence unfairly to any side, we ask that those who are standing or who represent a party refrain from posting in threads to do with political discussion or elections during the 4 week run up to the vote.

It's  mandatory and your account will be suspended if you don't do it.

 

If you have any questions please take them to the helpdesk rather than starting threads attacking the forum team. If you do that then your account will be suspended.

I think it’s still pretty much 50:50. Nothing has been resolved. Not one thing.

Remain has nailed it in the Yorkshire and Humber region. The hardcore leavers will have voted for the Brexit party while remainers will have tactically voted for remain party's. Then you have the donkey voters which then screw that up as they won't have voted purely on Brexit . You nailed it earlier when you pointed out it wasn't a referendum. but please don't take their glory away as Mr boot is just enjoying a can of ginger ale.

I understood all of the words, but I can’t see how anyone would consider them to be an answer to my question.

You asked how I felt about solicitors and doctors. I consider them to be normal people skilled in one subject. How is that not understandable?

 

Back to the elections.

 

The Brexit Party won full stop from a standing start.  The numbers the Brexit party are getting will terrify politicians in a FPTP voting system for a general election.

 

TBP is only 6 weeks old.
Wait until they are fully established.

 

Despite the BBC and Sky efforts to convince us otherwise their has been a fundamental change in British politics tonight. The push for a second referendum was based on the complete myth that the people had changed their minds. Tonight shows they have not.

You obviously do not read history (or at all?).  The EU elections have always been a form of protest vote.  The result of the EU elections has NEVER translated to a subsequent GE.  A party with no manifesto will never do well.

Currently as it stands the confirmed MEPs are as follows;

 

33x Remain

31x Leave

 

Obviously the public has confirmed that we should leave.  Right?

 

Put another way at the time of this post;

 

Remain - 9,034,867

Leave - 7,293,815

Brexit party + UKIP + Labour + Conservative easily beats the combined Remain vote.

 

A Leave party that is only six weeks old gets more votes than any other party! Leave has smashed it! Boom!

Labour as a leave party.

Dream on.

 

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has responded to tonight's results.

 

“After three years of Tory failure to deliver a Brexit that works for the whole country, these elections became a proxy second referendum," he says

"With the Conservatives disintegrating and unable to govern, and parliament deadlocked, this issue will have to go back to the people, whether through a general election or a public vote.

"Labour will bring our divided country together so we can end austerity and tackle inequality.

“Over the coming days we will have conversations across our party and movement, and reflect on these results on both sides of the Brexit divide.

“We will not let the continuing chaos in the Conservative Party push our country into a no-deal exit from the EU.

"Parliament can and will prevent such a damaging outcome for jobs and industry in the UK.”

 

Sounds like leave right?

At the moment the Brexit Party have won 28 MEPs and 32% of the vote, only 32%, they would need more than 50% in order to secure a majority.

 

The Liberal Democrats and Greens got 32%, how do the other partys add up?

Brexiteers do generally have lower attainment of education.  Simple stats, it's not even stats, it's basic arithmetic eludes them.

Try reading the Labour party website. It explicitly states that Labour accepts the referendum result.

Try keeping up.  We were supposed to have left by now.

 

Also, don't believe what the Labour leader is saying tonight?  His voice carrys no weight?

If by "nailed it" you mean a hard Brexit party winning more votes and seats than any other party, then yes, Remain has certainly nailed it!

You seem like a typical sore loser. Most remainiacs are. Enjoy having Prime minister Farage being in charge. 

 

The basic arithmetic that means 48% means we don't want to leave because it beats 52%. Oh wait ...... Please remind us all how bright you are again. It's fun.
