And do not forget that the outcome of the EU elections is Labour becoming a REMAIN party.Thanks Nige
Indeed. You would not vote Green if you fundamentally opposed the EU. The Green Party is a pro EU party – no question.

I'll stick to the only count that truly matters thanks Grahamm. The election system where only real, registered and eligible voters participate
Minus the Green vote, which could be as much down to David Attenborough and the fact that the environmental crisis is never out of the news at the moment, as it is Brexit and it's 4,697,611 against 5,802,996.
I wish to announce......... that I will not be standing as a candidate for leader of the Conservative Party.
By the way, remind us how many people signed the "Leave" petition.

UK government may face court action after EU citizens denied vote If there has been an injustice regarding voter eligibility then I sincerely hope that it's corrected. I guess we'll just have to wait and see .It doesn't shake my faith in the democratic system though Grahamm. Does it you?.

I respect everybody's views. I just don't happen to agree with them. And I can do that without actually calling them pricks Carlisle - I smell no biscuits either. Mind you in a Premier Inn all I can smell is harpic So, the country is split (more or less) in half between hard Brexit and hard Remain. How do we get out of this mess?
Implying that someone is a prick on a face to face basis is still grounds for a fucking slap in my book - but you'd avoid that wouldn't you....
I heard this story this morning on the radio and it was a Polish caller and I understood that it was EU nationals wanting to vote for parties in their own country but were just wanting to do it from this one. The caller went on to explain that they made a few calls to Poland and got it all sorted.

What's clear was that there was a cock up due to the short notice.
Very true of the party, but not all of their voters. As mentioned previously, 25% voted 'Leave' in the 2016 EU referendum.
Can I just post this again;Harley Davidson looking for a European manufactuering base.https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2019/may/harley-davidson-build-europe/ But of course like a great many companies one country they will not be considering right now is the UK.

How someone voted previously doesn't mean that they will vote the same way next time (unless you're a rabid "my Party right or wrong" supporter).
