New European election YouGov poll here shows Brexit party with 34%, then LibDems with 17% and the "major" parties trailing

Seems Brexit has completely upset the political scene.

Remains to be seen if the Brexit party will have success at any future general election, as a one shot party then after Brexit is decided they will struggle to have a compelling new policy.

	Damagingly for the Conservatives, the poll shows that 31 per cent will back the Brexit Party on Thursday for the European Parliament and nine out of ten of those voters will consider sticking with Nigel Farage’s party at the general election. According to the widely used Electoral Calculus website this could leave the Tories with just two seats at the next election for Westminster, mirroring the total collapse of the ruling Progressive Conservative Party in Canada in 1993.

So much for change in public opinion & the majority of voters wishing to Stan in the EU.

31% is a majority

Mus be all the airtime the BBC, ITV and CH 4 have given to Farage over the last few weeks. He’s been on telly more than Philip Schofield...

Counting is not your strong suit is it?

Interesting that UKIP are so low in the polls that they’re not likely to get a single seat. Embracing Tommy Robinson was probably not in their best interest.

Well the UK entry for the Eurovision Song Contest has again resumed its time honoured position of coming last
in the Eurovision Song Contest finals last night. With the usual outrage about the result from the Sunday press.

As we all know the Eurovision Song Contest has lost credibility for many, many years now and is just a contest
to see whether our shite is better than yours.
Nevertheless one wonders whether the Brexit parties will capitalize on it during the European elections ?

True Brexiters won’t have watched it because it was on the leftie liberal BBC and that’s not on their approved list of viewing.

I’m surprised people still watch it these days, it’s utter crap which should have died a dignified death back in the 80s.

Personally I was hoping that the French entry would win it, in the hope that next years Eurovision Song
Contest Final would be held in Disneyland Paris; a fitting venue that aptly matches the credibility of
the Eurovision Song Contest.

Better still the winning entry gets to sing outside Nigel Farage's house.

I'm struggling with the concept that it was ever credible. It's a wonderful piece of naffness, and no, I haven't watched it....yet.

If you are of a sensitive disposition, please do NOT watch this 'leadership bid from BoJo'.

I remember when my late night taxi driver told me he had a song in the running to be the Swiss entry and would I vote for it? I was impressed...

I watched, and enjoyed, and voted Switzerland and Australia, amongst others... but Oz? European? Seriously?

I’m proud of the fact Switzerland were the first ever winners!
