I think the biggest publicity will go to the winner and on today's poll that would be fairly clear. The public seem to be determined that this Brexit thing be done or damn the lot of you. Both mainstream parties could be badly damaged unless the issue is dealt with. I suspect if May's agreement or something close to it was passed most people might start to move on. Otherwise British politics will remain in an awful mess.0

We got a today a YouGov poll on the Euro elections which had parties baking brexit, when aggregated with a small lead over the parties of remain.
Someone left a Brexit out in the rain, and I don't think that I can take it, 'cos it took so long to bake it, and we'll never have that recipe again ... oh no!
Spot on. Thought it was a typo at first.0 -
It wouldn't necessarily count. A vote is only valid if there is a mark of clear [positive] intent. A cock and balls can easily (would probably) be considered a negative comment towards the party in question so not a mark of support and so I suspect would be counted as spoiled.ydoethur said:

An 'X' across the entire ballot, for example, doesn't count for whichever candidate / party happened to be at the intersection (as would be the case for an X whose legs crossed 2/3 rows); it's viewed as a vote against all the candidates.0 -

This is perhaps not a good look for O'Rourke, at least for the purpose of seeking the Democratic nomination...
https://thehill.com/policy/finance/439299-orourke-responds-to-criticism-of-charitable-contributions
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke on Tuesday evening responded to criticism about the small amount of charitable donations (c. 0.3% of income) reported on his tax returns, saying that he contributes by serving in public office.
"I've served in public office since 2005. I do my best to contribute to the success of my community, of my state and now of my country," O'Rourke, a former El Paso city council member and Texas congressman said at an event at the University of Virginia...

On topic, I think the only way you can read anything into the EU elections is if one of the 'issue' parties - either CUK or Brexit - get more than 50% odd of the vote on their own. And I say that fully believing that the Brexit Party will be the clear winners in terms of vote share and seats. But I still think it is meaningless as a measure of what people think about Brexit itself.0

So should there be a strong showing by Brexit/UKIP in the EUs, will the ERG nutters:
a) worry that the Cons would lose the next election as they haven't delivered Brexit and therefore rally to May's deal; or
b) think that by continuing to oppose May's deal they will attract the Brexit/UKIP types (back) to the Cons; or
c) not think anything at all as thinking is not their strong point?0 -

It won't be meaningless in terms of it showing that people really, really care about Brexit. Enough to vote for a wanker like Farage to make a point.....Richard_Tyndall said:On topic, I think the only way you can read anything into the EU elections is if one of the 'issue' parties - either CUK or Brexit - get more than 50% odd of the vote on their own. And I say that fully believing that the Brexit Party will be the clear winners in terms of vote share and seats. But I still think it is meaningless as a measure of what people think about Brexit itself.

I cannot vote Tory as that would be an endorsement of their Brexit strategy, they have lost the tag of being a competent government in my eyes. I seek to punish them and to be honest they have delivered very little for me personally, philosophically I may be closer to them but their period in office needs to be brought to an end as does this obsession with Europe.TOPPING said:

I usually vote Tory but will vote LD in the locals and Change UK or LD for the European elections and have persuaded others to do likewise!TOPPING said:So for some people (moi for example) with the loonies having siphoned themselves off to Brexit Party and UKIP I will find it quite safe to vote for the Conservatives.
I mean when I think about it my brain explodes at the whole dynamic but I am speaking as but a simple voter.
I cannot vote for Labour led by Corbyn and so my vote would go to Change UK in the European elections unless some sort of joint arrangement occurs with the LD. In local elections the LD looks like the only choice as Change UK to my knowledge don't have candidates. I am not going to vote Tory or Labour as this Brexit madness should be halted as the best deal is being in the EU. So Brexit is a main driver but the sheer incompetence of Tories and Labour mean I have to look for protest vehicles.
