This. The whole election is solely about Brexit. Even outside of the UK, the change in representatives opens the door to a renegotiation and it's clear that is the elephant in the room whenever there is a discussion on next steps.
The deal negotiated by May has been roundly rejected 3 times but the current EU leadership have said no renegotiation. All this fluff and bluster about getting a deal with Labour and leaving before the election was just bo11ocks because it is been 100% about waiting for a change in the EU parliament so that an acceptable (to UK parliament) deal can be negotiated.
This election will set the tone of that renegotiation or precipitate a decision to defy the referendum result and abandon Brexit and leave us powerless and humiliated on the world stage (in either case, obviously).

The moronic attempts to paint the Brexit party as 'far right' by the usual suspects on here just goes to shows how desperate and worried they are. A party that has candidates from a broad section of society and a Jewish candidate who has himself been targeted by the real 'far right'
Lance Forman, a top Brexit Party MEP candidate and owner of H. Forman and Son smokehouse, has had his business vandalised by vile anti-Semitic graffiti. Forman’s father is a holocaust survivor who fled Germany after the war and his great grandfather fled the anti-Semitic pogroms in Russia.

Whilst I can't condone such behaviour, if you sleep with dogs. I'm afraid you will catch fleas...

Nearly 150 votes in and not a single one for the Tories ...... they're going to get decimated aren't they ?
I voted 'spoiled', but I guess it would have been 'other' if there were any TU backed 'No2EU, Yes to Democracy' candidates this time.
I've avoided the Brexit debates as I hate the way the entire media and the majority of the political class portray Brexit supporters as all a load of right-wing 'Sir Bufton Tufton' types, whereas of course the truth is that the Remainers are the right-wing, neo-liberal, capitalist-loving Baddies in this debate.
No correspondence will be entered in to (as we'll never agree).

Is that anything to do with 55 Tufton Street?Entire media, haven't you been reading UK print media for last 40 years?
It's interesting yon Farage has come out and said that a vote for the Brexit party is a vote for No Deal. Means we do finally get an indication of the percentage of the voting public who want a No Deal Brexit. So if they poll less than 50% then it's not "the will of the people" and should be ruled out.

They don't care; they just don't like foreigners.
None of them will be the people actually having to deal with the sharp end of no deal either.

Remain United has worked out the best Remain party to vote for in your area for tactical voting reasons. In the SE it is better to stick to LibDem.

Looks like a much more remainy bunch of MEP's than currently, even without tactical voting. Is that the will of the people?
UKIP already have 24, suggests BP could get 25
So what will the Brexit party do if they got into a position to affect things? We don't know, they refuse to tell us.
So how would they deal with the issues which surround their preferred Brexit? We don't know, they refuse to tell us.
So what do they think about other non-Brexit issues such as the NHS? We don't know, they refuse to tell us.
So where is the money coming from? We don't know, they...ah, you get the picture now.

I would imagine it's a reference to Sir Tufton Beamish,an almost hereditary Sussex MP.

For starters,£39 billion to be spent on what we want,WTO rules on trade,lots of bi-lateral deals,Irish trucks crossing the UK under customs seals so their economy doesn't melt down,holidays to Turkey in short supply,and a pro-active government under Boris dealing with any problems rapidly.
