From Graun

Chris Williams, an agent for the Green party in Leicester, has told the Guardian that he has seen scores of spoilt ballots, apparently forged by pro-Brexit voters.

Slogans such as ‘Brexit now’, ‘We need brexit’ and ‘We’ve already voted on this’ were scrawled next to Brexit, he said, but the electors neglected to vote for either Ukip or the Brexit party.

Williams had been checking the disputed ballots as part of his duties as an election agent, and also found one ballot which had ‘wank’ written in every single box apart from that of the Green party. The voter left a note saying ‘not wank’ for the environmentalist party which was deemed acceptable as a vote.

Going to try one of those next time and thet’d better count it!

IMO, Brexit replaced UKIP. Labour and Conservative lost to Liberal and Green.

So a swing to parties with clear Brexit strategy and who will look after the planet.

Seems to be that way, yes. Lib Dem, Green and SNP have a clear strategy (remain) got ~33% of the vote. Brexit Party, pretty similar.

Add in UKIP and Plaid Cymru votes and it will tilt in favour of Brexit.

Nigel Fauxrage:

I absolutely insist that we do have a mandate to now be part of that [Brexit negotiating] team.

It's a free country, so you insist away!

CUK didn't get any seats but they got 3%. Plaid Cymru got 1%
(remain) got ~37% of the vote

Brexit party plus UKIP got 35%

It's still early and took me a minut to work out what you meant by CUK

I'm not convinced the 35% is a "we want no deal Brexit" vote. It's more a "we want Brexit no matter what" vote.
