Because he supports Brexit. But he also likes numbers, probably more than me

1 seat each for BREX, Labour and Lib Dem.

It's confusing that the TV networks aren't allowed to report anything by ofcom. But it's all online.

They reallly need to change the rules

Correct. Nothing at all. But N&CA's biggest thread is on US politics ...just saying!

Annunziata just called the Tories a visionless , leaderless party. Lol

 

[ponder]

No idea about eu elections but can brexit & ukip form a coalition if they so wish?

Not a matter of not interested, I just don’t get the huge excitement, that Chris the Brit is acting like his soccer team has just scored.

Turnout is reported to be about 51% . 2014 was very low at 42.54%,

Sheesh and I thought ours were horrific

It's worse in UK . It's better than normal at 37% this time around. That's schit by any reckoning

SNP are leading in Scotland. Brexit party running second, Conservative third, Labour decimated...again

Libdems beat Labour in Islington, Jezza's home turf

Looks like voters are unhappy with the "main stream" parties. So if they do then leave, they must vacate the seats?

Ja. I think so. Brexit party will be making the most of the 5 months (October) remaining before losing all their seats

It's an interesting vote, the parties leading in the Euro election aren't able to replicate the results in UK elections. People still vote for the main parties there

Ja. That's why we can ignore a lot of the gains by Brexit Party , Libdems and Greens as partial protest votes. There tends to be a lot of tactical voting as well during these "nothing" elections

I think trump is a d00s so avoid that thread, but this thread seems to excite some people like a soccer game with their favourite team winning.
