So should we be getting all excited about Brexit Party given thumping victories in many of the seats or do you predict that history will repeat itself and that Farage & company will not be able to replicate success in General Election? Should Remain driven parties, Lib Dems & Greens & Change UK take the next step of amalgamating to form 'super' middle ground political party with target of stealing votes from both Conservatives + Labour in General Election? What do you think?

I think it's just a load of politics

What do you think? Much like UKIP, the Brexit Party vote is designed to force the Conservatives hand when they don't listen to their voters. With that in mind, depending on what happens between now and a GE there might not even be a Brexit Party to vote for. My other take home is that I bet Change UK wish they'd called themselves Remain!

A good post. Next up is Peterborough I would be pleasantly surprised if The Brexit Party wins it but if they do another stick to beat the Tories with. I don't expect The Brexit party to survive my preference is for a GE in which Labour is 100% Remain and Tories 100% Leave. We have to get rid of the ambiguity, the sooner we have a black and white election the better. Edited by Badger11 (27 May 2019 2.45pm)

I don’t know how these remain MP’s, some of them no doubt in leave constituencies, have the audacity to claim it was a victory for remain. How they can stand there and spout this cr@p to the camera is staggering. But the remoaners out there will lap it up, use it, or fall for it so there is the problem. They’re a disgrace.

"Well, we lost but we won really". Exactly the same spazzy rhetoric as we got after the referendum. The sheer effrontery of Soubry and her mob of losers in particular is breathtaking. These c*nts should be forced to call a by-election.

I think voters find it far easier to protest vote at local or European elections than they do at general elections. I'm not sure a single issue party would do well in general elections. However, if the Brexit party could expand into other areas - such as trade, tax and health and education you might think that they would pick up seats from the two dinosaur parties.

Edited by Badger11 (27 May 2019 2.45pm) As you say the Tory vote is likely to collapse, and some Labour voters feel let down, by both Corbyn nationally and certainly Fiona Onasanya locally. It could be very close, and I'd definitely not rule a Brexit Party win out.

We have to hope that Her Majesty is not so fed up with her politicians trying to be all things to everyone, that she asks Mr Trump to form a government.

These c*nts should be forced to call a by-election. Every national election victory there has ever been in this country has swiftly been followed by the comment from the losers that it was but a hollow victory, given that the majority in the country didn't vote for the winner. Yesterday the BBC kept showing a recording of an angry Lib Dem lady saying (in effect) that she didn't know why Nigel Farage was so ebullient, because his party couldn't even get most votes "in his own area". Her logic being that the votes of the remain parties added up to more than the Brexit party's.
