Just shows the ones at the top just do not care about throwing our money way. Chucking it at poxy little EU countries, who are now now even flying the EU flag LOL, and now on a stupid election that should not even be taking place and then after the results are in and Nige has thrashed the lot of them they'll quickly agree to a crap deal and stop the Brexit party taking up their seats. labour will shut up about a general election Corbin will be ousted and smarmy double barrelled starmer will be voted as leader. Who's no better than corbin so what's the point in that?

What if we get into a scenario that the 'Europhile' parties like Green, Lib Dem, Change etc win in the Euro elections? What message is that?

For the second time on this thread, that's a good description of Brexit but what about the EU elections? Also

What do we want? Democracy

When do we want it? Only when it forwards our specific political agenda and marries up with our very particular definition of what democracy is.

My particular definition of democracy is the one where the people control their destiny through the ballot box, you know the one where they are asked to make a decision and the will of the majority is enacted. Do you prefer a different form of democracy?.

When do we want it? Always!

OUCH! There's a bit in there I was thinking about too.

The Tories and Labour carving up a Brexit deal when not so long ago they wouldn't even talk to each other. Amazing how focused they've become now they've had a good kicking. Yes, we wanted consensus across the floor and across the nation so that all sides of the argument would be listened to and considered but, equally, its now also about them protecting their voter base. Honestly, what a bucket of crap!!

But to be fair, there's been the national elections over here, soon to be followed by the local elections and the EU elections. Nationally seems half decent but you wouldn't want to know the rumbles going on about some very dodgy electoral dealings locally.
