Brexit

[noel]

In fact I think the latest polling is (unfortunately) going to push the Tories and Labour in to a rather awful BRINO to avoid a Euro Election drubbing and handing a real electoral momentum to the Brexit Party, which might even get some MPs on board over the Summer.

That would be something we've not really seen so far: the far-right (or whatever you want to call it, I realise some people on here don't consider them that "far") getting MPs.

It could be a strange situation as it was last time where lots of people were/are prepared to vote UKIP or Brexit party in the EU elections, which doesn't affect UK government policy over Brexit, but less keen to vote for them in national elections, which could directly affect government policy. I guess this is understandable as UKIP/Brexit have largely been single issue parties.

Of course, it's also a lot to do with proportional representation; first past the post does nothing to help smaller parties.
