BREXIT |OT2.0| A parade of endless victories for Boris Johnson

I know.
But this majority of Brexit Party voters - where were they? Who did they vote for? That was my point. UKIP hardly had a good night.
You can live in hope the Brexit party peaked early and they implode at the polls. Brexit party is a con job. I wish politicians would stick their neck out and say Brexit won't solve your problems, might get people to think twice next week and turn the tide. It's a simple enough message.
I see Boris has said whatever May does he will just tear it up if he gets in. What a trustworthy country. We are in such an impossible situation that needs truth to set us free from the madness but it's all must deliver just because and not for any sane reason.

The hundreds of new independent councillors, most likely, and the thousands and thousands of spoiled ballots.
Its very likely they didn't even bother to vote. Anyone supporting the Brexit party is a psychopath with just one idea on their mind. They don't really care about local governance or the minutiae, just the one big issue they think will solve it all.
they didn't vote. as usual he local turnout was abysmal.
edit: just to add to this with some analysis

As much as it pains me to say it living here, if the majority vote for a party run by an obvious grifter with Trump and Russia ties that is too cowardly to declare where funding is coming from or to even release a manifesto... we deserve what we get.
It terrifies me.
Is the Kantor poll GE intention?

Nah, that is Westminster. But the media link add on here shows the whole chain annoyingly
Should be a thing on here tbf, finding things each day to make him a cunt
If we get a slow news day we can just post his picture, should be enough.
Or that time he forgot his own wife's ethnicity, that's always a good one.
he's getting worse now he fancies becoming leader and PM, doubling defence spending for a start just to turn the gammon on.
It might be entertaining to watch another Tory crash on the rocks of reality, i don't see him handling the post brexit world very well.
FWIW, I'm an EU resident in the UK and completely agree with your sentiment. Allen was previously very happy to work for a party pushing extremely regressive economic policy and then blame it all on migration - so for her to turn around and suddenly wash her hands of her involvement in it just because Brexit blew up in their faces is really fucking rich. They aren't friend's of EU migrants in the UK and would be happy to throw us under a bus if they felt it benefited them.
Didn't the poor + white inner city areas up north mostly vote remain too? I thought it was the old industrial towns on the outskirts like Oldham/St Helens/Bradford that were the ones voting leave
Polls on questions about what should happen with Brexit really are all over the shop. Have any recently just asked "how would you vote in a second referendum?"
If the goal is to purely limit the amount Conservative and BP MEPs, I believe the best tactic in the D'Hondt system is to vote for the party other than them that will get the most votes, which probably be Labour in most regions, or possibly the SNP in Scotland.
Polling is kinda all over the fucking place right now.
Sure they can be taken as a slight indication of the UK intention of who to vote, but it's clear polling is in need of a overhaul. Apart from survation the rest are pissing in the wind right now.
Nobody polls the locals because it would be prohibitively expensive and nobody who would normally pay for it actually cares.
It's got nothing to do with sabre rattling. Military strength is an objectively measurable thing. Being a nuclear superpower alone raises the UK into 'superpower' status, regardless of its size.
Huh? My post was had nothing to do with economic status. It was a direct reply to the quoted military superpower comment.
That comment came in the chain of replies because of the brexit people in the meeting saying that they hold all the cards in brexit negotiation because the uk won a war. ( https://www.resetera.com/goto/post?id=20756789 )
That's a jump in the dark if I saw one. "Let's see if the elections will have changed your mind! Also we have no idea how the elections will turn out. Except very bad for all of us".
Not really. It'll follow the European elections, which should see the Brexit party dominate. This vote will be to attempt the rest of the ERG and EU sceptic Labour voters to vote for the deal based upon that poll's aftermath. I don't think the numbers are there, but fuck it she'll try anything, right?
bets on May (or someone high up) saying something like "we don't need a second referendum, we just had one and people want to leave" within a week of the EU elections
edit: just remembered that is the week Trump is here. What a fucking train wreck.

She's gonna try and get a Trump speech in Party imploring then to pass it so he can approve deal talks.
That'll make them fucking riot
June will be the end of May then.
Even if May agreed to everything Labour wanted, the next Tory leader won't consider themselves in any way bound by the deal and will happily toss it out (infact I imagine they'll have to promise to do so to get elected.)
Besides, this bill is going to transcribe the backstop into UK law, so that's going to be amended to hell, and if it somehow survives to getting close to Royal Assent the DUP will pull their support, leaving the Government more open to a new VoNC.
Which given that that's what Corbyn wants more than anything, he won't keep May in power to see Brexit done at the expense of a new election.

I'm sorry everyone, but I'm now in favour of brexit and wto rules.
I have been against it all this time but a call from Mark has convinced me I was wrong.
