Already those trying to discredit the Brexit party. As to the article the UK has always been polarised to some extent. North/South divide. Just go on the M62 and between Liverpool and Manchester 24 miles apart people are different and have rivalry.

 

The difference in this is the remain and their supporters like Reuteurs are using this as a reason that the UK should stay united and in the EU. Predictable and pathetic really. I will say it again if the EU is such a great organisation why don't they give all members a vote, to leave or stay. We all know why.

I was talking about the Electoral Commission (the clue was in the question I answered). Farage stated what I posted during a closing rally. Whether he/party are up for scrutiny from elsewhere is hardly a cause for concern, given their books haven't balanced in decades.

Pot kettle black from the EU. Corruption is almost 990 billion euros per year! 

 

It was so bad before 2002 they had to change accounting standards:

 

From 2002 until the present, the Court of Auditors continued to audit the budget annually, but they no longer signed off the accounts as a whole. Instead, they have split the budget into two sections — the part to which they are willing to give a clean bill of health, and the part to which they are not willing to give a clean bill. The Auditors refer to this second part as its “opinion on the underlying payments which have been negative or adverse”.

No one cared. Stop all the noise and give us a second vote now we know the facts about 'Deals'. This is all Camerons fault.

We care that we have not Exited yet. The facts that we do know are that Remainers are still trying to cheat their way out of current legistlation for us to Withdraw from the EU. We know that the 'deal' which hasn't been agreed by Parliament is only a Merkel/May Surrender Treaty. That is only a preliminary capitulation which stitches us up before 'the deal' for post Brexit trade is even discussed. Those are the facts we know about deals.
This is all May's fault, the EU dirty trick dept, and the Remainers on both sides of the divide.

Had it been a GE last Thursday we would have ended with a overall majority by a single issue party that would be extremely right wing with less than a third of the votes cast.

 

I would say before we have anymore referendums we need to change the rules from a simple majority to a clear majority.

What exactly is extremely right wing about Brexit Party?. The phrase banded about all the time, I find the remoaners seem to be more right wing fascists and let's not forget Corbyn with the Provos

 

On the head (as usual) from Pat ????

Remainer Fake News and fake graphics. It's the BBC, therefore subject to Remainer spin and bias.

CON and Liebour are both 'Pro-Brexit' parties. They must be, because they both still say they respect the referendum result; both were elected on Leave manifestos; and both enacted legislation for our Withdrawal, didn't they??

That would make it 58.1 for Brexit.

Interesting that you have totally discounted the Leavers in the Tory and Labour votes.

 

Take half out of each (neither have declared themselves as Remain... only Lib Dems and the pathetic Change UK) + half a million UKIP votes and I think you will find that your conclusion holds less water than a sieve with bl00dy big holes in.

Farage knows he is a stalking horse....... or at least that’s how he started out with this campaign.

5.2 million votes in EU elections is not to be sniffed at.

An increase of 1m on the 2015 general election votes that he pulled with UKIP (who are now a spent force without him) will make all parties take notice.

Labour are forked; they have one chance and that is to become a Remain party and be prepared to lick up to the Lib Dems.

Imagine what a resurgence the Tories would have if they were to be become a genuine leave party and invite Farage into whatever executive position he wanted.

That would sort the men out from the boys.

Don't comment on stats if you don't understand them. Labour and Tories are not included in any pro or contra brexit stat here.

Yep, just checked the title of this thread and the Brexit party won. If you want to change the rules in the system, up to you, or play with numbers and statistics to fool yourself,

again up to you. 

Out of interest who was the leader of the remain party you claim got more votes? Or should I say who were  the sore leaders? Lol.

I agree. That would resolve many arguments. Other countries adopt a similar strategy

While I sincerely hope that Scottish independence is won by a supermajority, 50% +1 vote would be enough for me. So - if my country is going to be dragged against its will out of the EU under the cloud of a very corrupt simple majority, we are not going to be held to a higher standard when we try to better our lot.

Very misleading.  Not surprising as it's from the BBC. 

 

Only 3 parties were set up specifically for the single issue of leaving / staying in the EU. Those are the Brexit Party, UKIP and Change UK. Those other so called 'anti-Brexit parties have multiple agendas. For example, there will be people who voted Green who don't give a stuff about the EU issue, but just want to save the planet. Likewise there are people who always vote SNP simply because they hate the English and want independence. 

 

This election has absolutely disproved the myth pedalled by remainers that the majority in the UK now want to remain. Imagine how much time and money could have been wasted on a 2nd referendum only to get the same result.

Well , whilst I understand your patriotism of course you are aware that the vote for an Independent Scotland last time was more clearly cut in terms of % against than the UK vote was to leave the EU. Irrespective of that my thoughts are that the people generally have woken up to the lies of Brexit and it will not happen. An independent Scotland should be left up to the Scots to determine and if the vote (if there is another one)  goes against you next time round by the same % will you finally accept the will of your own people ?
