The "populist parties" now hold a quarter of all seats in the european parliament. I can't see the eu being happy with that
You are leaving the UK with only 30odd % of the vote and you are then going to join a right wing EU - you couldn't make it up
Aye the snp is impressive fin, after 12 years in power, they have gone from 2 mep's 4 years ago to......3 mep's Based on that level of performance to get all 6 scottish meps would take the the snp another 12 years, now I understand why you use percentages instead of figures
Pagham have two MEPs and this is the first time they've fielded any. Based upon this, I anticipate the EU Parliament being populated by at least 50% Pagham MEPs, and that's after we leave the EU in Oct 2019. PAGHAAAAAAAAM!!!! You may take our lives but you'll never take our waterfowl sanctuary!
For me she/they let themselves down in the indicative votes recently. They had the opportunity to back Brexit with a trade deal, but would only vote for no Brexit or another referendum. This immediately placed them in the ''lets play politics'' camp for me, at the same time increasing the risk of a no deal Brexit by not backing a second choice, soft option. Same games played by Corbyn and most other politicians. So ''Change (??) UK''. Not really. More like 'The Song Remains The Same''. Failure to be flexible, failure to move red lines, just like May.
Given how poisonous some of those were to the party they were leaving, I'd be surprised if they went back to them. I can see the lib dems or greens the only way out for those in that party but if they were your actual mp, one day a tory mp, next day a tig mp, then a change mp, and possibly now a lib mp but the same person as your mp. all within several weeks
I don't think there is any doubt that Scotland will get independence. As soon as they got their parliament that was the thin end of the wedge. They're just going wear HM Gov down with incessant we want independence chants. Not sure if they would vote to be a net contributor to the EU tho especially with all the conditions the EU will have by then for membership. TB
you dont understand how PR govs work do you? nothing gets done without an absolut majority. there is an absolute majority in terms of vote share for indi. there is full cross party suport (bar the torys, only 20 odd seats out of 120odd) for the position the S.Gov has taken. those are the facts. the other fact is, truthless ran on a, no to another indi reff. again, nothing else, again. her vote share dropped.
^^ yeah...but if you add the SNP vote to the rest of the parties, that places the Brexit party in last place.
Yes but if the BBC didn't want Scotland to view this as an INDI type vote, they'd simply add everything up together thats not SNP and use that as against INDI. Therefore the SNP came last......according to BBC Math
