      You couldn't make this tulip up, but then again I suppose he is taking advantage of Freedom of Movement...

      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        We would like to think that is the case but if you look at the people standing for the Brexit Party you will quickly come to realise that they are atypical of the 'Metropolitan Elite' that the people voting for the Brexit Party are actually angry with. Really goes to show how imbecilic the average Leaver is...

          The outcome of the EU elections is now irrelevant as May will be resigning anyway. There is now a high probability of a GE in spite of Brenda in Bristol who will try and thwart it, and that is what will decide Brexit.

          I'm alright Jack

            The outcome of any GE is also irrelevant - the options do not change, and until the Conservative Brexiters get a grip on reality and understand that the WA is the only way they are going to get a Brexit they’ll just keep going around in circles.

              If there is a GE the Tories will have to campaign on no deal, and I suspect there will be a clear out of the remoaners who won't buy into it. The Tories will have no choice.

              If they win it's no deal.

                We exit on no Deal. We then decide that we want a trading relationship (even if minimal) with the EU. The first thing on the table is citizens rights, the divorce payment, and the U.K. border in Ireland.

                Unless the U.K. is actively deciding to become an international pariah, there is no escape from the terms of the WA.

                  It doesn't matter if the Tories want to be in power that's what they have to do. Being an international pariah hasn't stopped Trump.

                  Once the Tories have crashed out of the EU then of course they'll start agreeing to everything that was in the withdrawal agreement anyway. This is the Trumpian way. The new NAFTA is no different from the old NAFTA.

                  It doesn't matter that is makes no sense, all the Brexi-people will cheer Boris, in the same way Trump supporters cheer Trump even though nothing changed.

                    Why are those who don't vote ignored? Maybe it is not apathy, they actually want no government!

                    If fewer than 50% vote in any election, any form of government that is being voted for should be shut down with immediate effect. Let's have some sensible anarchy, will probably be a great improvement on current mess.

                      This was the European Parliamentary election, not the UK one.
                      The voting was for representatives to represent local UK regions in the European Parliament. By voting for parties who specifically do not want to represent UK regions in Europe, then effectively those who voted for them have wasted their votes.
