Most normal people know that you need to register well in advance if you want to vote whilst aboard or away from home. There's nothing odd about it.

But as the Electoral Commission admit in the last paragraph - no one expected that these elections were going to take place, the short notice didn't give enough time to sort out the paperwork.

So from about half the uk vote thus far it's pretty clear more poeple want another referendum / no brexit

albob 27 May 2019 12:00 AM

Someone predicted a reverse of the Referendum result : i.e. 52% for remain and 48% leave -- looks like the prediction might be right..

dpb 27 May 2019 04:52 AM

Yep , 5.9 mil remain versus 5.7 mill leave , from what I can see

Essentially

dpb 27 May 2019 05:06 AM

Still can't see public would be daft enough to vote brexit party into power in GE

andy97 27 May 2019 07:36 AM

All the remain votes. concentration around/in London. Right across the rest of England Wales, its Brexit Party. They will do extremely well come general election.

dpb 27 May 2019 08:32 AM

Tories will have to instigate another referendum

dpb 27 May 2019 08:50 AM

London is actually part of England

Only by location, not representative to the rest of England, an outsider

dpb 27 May 2019 08:57 AM

lol

andy97 27 May 2019 09:29 AM

27 out of 31 regions voted majority for the Brexit Party, pretty conclusive

dpb 27 May 2019 09:40 AM

Conclusive of what ??!


mugged by an ex Tory presumably

dpb 27 May 2019 09:52 AM

A,LONDON , exTory ex 'anker at that !

Not true. Cities of Bristol and Brighton both had a Green majority, Anglesey, Gwynedd and Ceredigion had Plaid majority, many other cities/urban areas had Lib Dem majorities., and what about the whole of Scotland?
Brexit party polled 31.6%, UKIP 3.4%. So 35% leave. Remain parties polled 39.4%. The percentage of remain/leave votes within the Conservative and Labour results are unknown.

dpb 27 May 2019 10:08 AM

Scotlands allready been cast adrift , apparently !

andy97 27 May 2019 10:38 AM

With Fptp and Brexit Party polling extremely well in all but a few regions bodes well for a big GE seat capture. The remain swung to Liberals . The labour party have been thrashed and the conservative party absolutely decimated. So leave voters from Labour and Tories backed Brexit Party

dpb 27 May 2019 10:42 AM

Looks like absolutley zero change amongst Tories - just a vanity project rearrangement of so called leaders

god help the electorate

silver-sub 27 May 2019 10:53 AM

What a disastrous election for the Tories.

BMWhere? 27 May 2019 10:54 AM

Turnout was still abysmal, so you can't really draw any conclusions from the result. You can of course be sure that all passionate leavers and remainers probably voted, so its reassuring to see that the passionate remainers now seemingly outnumber the passionate leavers, the question is where the rest of the population who couldn't be bothered to vote sit?

Looking at the larger results across Europe the results are very interesting as people in most countries have substantially rejected the far right whilst also shunning the political elite, with the Liberals and Greens being the big winners. The results in France and Italy are a little disappointing, but the the right wing parties there have been forced to take a pro-European stance since Brexit. Its also been the largest ever turn-out for the European elections which is very positive overall. It seems the major legacy of Brexit may indeed be EU reform and greater support of the EU from the member population.

The far right candidate Yaxley-Lennon (Tommy Robinson) was met with laughter as he failed to win a seat, as well as Carl Benjamin (Sargon of Akkad) .

dpb 27 May 2019 11:22 AM

Maybe Farridge will be forced to turn pro Eu too

And they'll receive their salary of €6834 per month after deductions, plus expenses. For doing f-all. Gravy train anyone? What a bunch of dishonest charlatans.They repeatedly state that the EU is undemocratic, and then take full advantage of the fact that it isn't. And people fall for it.
