I take it the pubs haven't closed yet.

So Brexit party won in every region apart from London, this goes someway to show why the Westminster bubble is so out of touch with the rest of the country.

Peterborough by election next week or week after, Brexit party might get that as things stand.

Agreed. The Tories and Labour need to stop pussy footing around and decide which way they want to go regards brexit. The Tory leadership will decide their fate and they need to stick to it without compromise. Labour need a similar leadership change with a definite path forward.

The results suggest the public is not content with compromise but Brexit only has a leading minority support.

Farage should have been braver and stood for election as MP if he wants to change things with direct influence. He bottled it.

And i think has had enough of self serving politicians in general. Something needs to change because large parts of the population feel disenfranchised with an agenda set in London, perhaps a move to a more proportional vote system, get rid of or seriously scale back the HOL to name but two things.

Why would he stand in Peterborough a place he has no connection with, I'm sure in the next GE if Brexit still hasn't been delivered he will stand in Thanet.

So that's nationalist parties topped the polls in 3 of the 4 biggest EU economies, UK, France and Italy and what will the EU response be? More Europe, more powers for Brussels which is the exact opposite of what people are voting for, they will never get that the populations of individual countries dont share their dream of a federalist United states of Europe. Hence it will eventually collapse.

Exactly, if Brexit is not delivered I think the two main parties will see serious challengers emerge for the next election, it could see the two party system finished.

The BBC needs a complete overhaul.

Yep, they've demonstrated their true colours during the whole Brexit debacle, first stop sack Gary Lineker and the other overpaid wankers..in fact sack anyone who's name is Gary..

I imagine the Brexit party when it publishes a manifesto for UK elections will have something in regarding the licence fee for the Brexit Bashing Corp.

the Social Democrats and traditional conservatives are still the dominating forces in the EU parliament

it feels like LePen and Brexit Party will have the same number of seats, about 25, so not much at the end despite their win

Even between them they won't have an overall majority anymore, will need support of the Greens. Times are a changing.

The BBC is not the problem, the problem are the lies your politicians feed you, and the lies you are swallowing without questioning them

this is what happens in a country that never cultivated critical thinking in their school, culture and society

sheeple to serve all levels of Royalties, including the ones who think they operate their own mini Royal court in Westminster

LePen already claimed that she will join votes with the social democrats when she feels a vote cast goes into the right direction

indeed, those 2 parties need clarity, they are playing games as they always did for too many years and now paying the price for it

same in France, thse 2 dominating parties have collapse with 8% and 6% of the vote

they are already finished, look at their mediocre leaders, they are leading a bunch of zombies

Boris leadership is not going to change a thing, and I bet he is already preparing a new conservatives party of his own when he fails with Brexit in Oct

no time for a GE, no time for a REF2, Brexit deadline is tomorrow, the next PM is about to hit a wall

Buttfly do you ever reflect on how ironic it is for you coming from Belgium for christ sakes, the mosts divided country in Europe to be commenting critically on any other democracy; your little piss pot country is so divided on national lines; France Germany & Holland there is no Belgium just an unresolved territorial dispute.

It really isn't true that Labour has started to come out as a remainer party.

They continue to try and ride two horses.

Ride two horses only with very long legs. The worst ever opposition leader is trying to do please everyone, just where the worst PM since Chamberlain failed miserably. He has learned nothing from her mistakes, and neither has his party, so even without Farage these two clowns have not only shattered their own parties and turned Parliament into the worst since Cromwell, but they also brought back the libs from their rightful place in oblivion.

Without the Brexit party the libs would have creamed the lot under the miserable state of Brit politics, with no end in sight as no sensible person should trust any of the liars and scoundrels chasing the top job.

Corbyn is backing a second referendum, in fact he'll back anything which he thinks will get him a sniff at number 10. Can you imagine a country governed by Cyrilles mate it's too horrific to imagine.

That's the sad reality.

I used to think that at least Corbyn offered a voice in widening the discourse space, but since the last election he has been bullied into submission by his front bench, and now will do/say anything to hold the reins at number 10 - not gonna happen... He sold himself out for nothing. If he said, fuk this lot I'm taking my crew and starting the People's Labour Party, we will Brexit and nationalize rail, get rid of student fees, etc, then he would probably get more votes than the Labour or Tory parties in the next election - not sure how that would equate to running the country though...

Labour have for the last 10 years kept re-writing their "Policy" on economics on the basis of soundbites, they cannot be taken seriously alongside the phrase "Managing an economy".

Corbyn is a 70's shop floor throwback who secretly despises everything the UK stands for and would see us cozying up to Putin and Terrorists, dismantling our Nuclear deterrent, laying waste to our already depleted Armed Services whilst gleefully dragging veterans through courts, all against a backdrop of wholesale re=nationalisation and "right on" economics that would have our National debt double in 5 years and interest payments on it climb to over £100Bn annually.

Oh FFS, you silly little chav, what do you know about Europe and Belgium

We own you, that's for sure. Now jump higher for that Brexit deal
