European Elections 2019

[Nocturnal Submission]

Just noticed that the RN (FN that was) have been leading En Marche! for virtually the entire month and are currently running at 23-24%.

Labour have finally got off their arses and started canvassing and campaigning over the past few days, which could make a difference given that we've got a bigger activist and ground operation than anyone else, though doorstep response is patchy, hence the understandable poll volatility.

Le Pen got 24.9 percent of the vote (and a higher proportion of the French seats) at the 2014 Euro Elections. I'm actually a bit surprised that they aren't polling higher.

[Snake Plissken]

Labour would have been 27% higher in the polls had they come out full-on Remain according to something that I can't take seriously at all.

Actually, it's 14% higher, which is feasible, though I'm not sure if they'd have the lead over the Brexit Party that the article claims.

Are you cringing yet?

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

The North-West result is going to be horrible tomorrow. I think we get 8 MEPs and current projections will have as many as 4 of them as Brexit Party. Thank god it's all on PR though, if it were first past the post in smaller constituencies I think they'd have got everywhere except Liverpool.

Young Fine Gaelers are the worst. Cancer of the soul.

Gideon's Evening Standard has come out for the Lib Dems. By their friends shall ye know them …

After backing his austerity measures it's the least he could do in return.

Presumably the support for the far-right is a reaction against Islam.

[DCI Harry Batt]

No, it's just racism. Not "a reaction", which puts things arse about face.

Fuck, Dublin is depressing, not surprising though.

[Eggchaser]

By the way, the environment is fucked completely once all these right wing fucksticks get in. Can't see them taking the sort of lead required,. Quite the reverse, in fact.

The Dublin probable result shows Berba is right that most of the voters couldn't give a fuck about the housing crisis. If 70% of the country own their own gaffs a housing crisis just sees them on the pigs back. There's a lot (like dodgy anti-vax questions in the last dail, the Wallace thing, having been a Trot) I don't like about Clare Daly, but she'd be a far better MEP than a fucking Dynasty FF cunt like andrews or fucking Fitzgerald.

[Flynnie]

No, it's just racism. Not "a reaction", which puts things arse about face.

One of the Left’s bigger strategic errors is to assume being gay/black/female/whatever makes you a left winger. Sweden Democrats do shockingly well (if you internalised the first sentence over the past 60 years, which how couldn’t you) among Swedes from an immigrant background.

[DCI Harry Batt]

I'm not sure of the connection between the quote and your post.

[Nefertiti2]

Actually, it's 14% higher, which is feasible, though I'm not sure if they'd have the lead over the Brexit Party that the article claims.

It's bollocks =- YouGov pushpolling in which the previous question was "did you know Jeremy Corbyn wasnt's to eat your children?"

[DCI Harry Batt]

Huh?

[Nocturnal Submission]

Elguapo's above on Dublin MEP folk

I think TonTon was addressing his remarks to Flynnie.

[Lang Spoon]

Yeah, deleted now. Tired.

[Antepli Ejderha]

May resigning before the election might give the Tories a couple more votes.

British Steel going to administration and the government blaming European rules on state intervention will hand any gain straight back to Farage and then some.

[Lang Spoon]

The only thing stopping the govt intervening is their ideology. That Farage also holds. This country.
