      That’s an interesting point. Forget party allegiances for a minute, and just look at the candidates. Ask yourself, “which one of these do I want to represent me?”

      The field thins a bit....

        His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

          agreed

                    “Another Conservative source said internal data showed the party could do worse than the Brexit party, Labour, the Lib Dems, Change UK and even potentially the Greens, with support at less than 10%. That would translate to only a handful of seats, down from the current 22.”

                    Tories could come sixth in European elections, officials fear | Politics | The Guardian

                    Good news - when Brexit is cancelled Tory Scum won’t even have MEPs
