#EP2019 in the UK
As it seems certain the UK will be voting in May, it's time for a #pollofpolls and a seat projection.

I am using the 6 most recent polls bookended by 2 @YouGov polls, one published today.

First start with the last election and the current polling.
@YouGov 2/7
#EP2019 in the UK

The U.K. elects 73 MEPs in 12 regional constituencies. using the D'Hondt system of proporional representation in Britain and S.T.V. like we have in Ireland for the 3 Northern Irish seats.

Most #EP2019 polling does not include N.I.

Here's the 2014 map

#EP2019 in the UK

Here are my projections for the 4 constituencies in the South & East of England.

This was the region which delived the "Leave" in the 2016 #brexit referendum, although London voted "Remain".

Most of @UKIP vote in 2014 has now switched to @brexitparty_uk

Here are my projections for the 3 constituencies in the English Midlands & Wales.

This region marginally voted "Leave" in 2015 but not delivering Brexit is costing @conservatives votes & saeats with @UKLabour gaining.

Ominous signs for a General Election?
@YouGov @UKIP @brexitparty_uk @Conservatives @UKLabour 5/7
#EP2019 in the UK
Here are my projections for the 4 constituencies in the North of England and Scotland.

North of England was marginally "Leave", but Scotland was "Remain".

Again @Conservatives being squeezed by @brexitparty_uk on one side and @UKLabour on the other.
@YouGov @UKIP @brexitparty_uk @Conservatives @UKLabour 6/7
#EP2019 in the UK

My national seat projection sees a @UKIP wipe-out and @brexitparty_uk gaining.

@UKLabour will be the biggest party.

@Conservatives lose half their MEPs.

@TheIndGroup are not getting the critical mass to take a seat.

With no NI data I predict no change
@YouGov @UKIP @brexitparty_uk @Conservatives @UKLabour @TheIndGroup 7/7
#EP2019 in the UK
Finally what does the extension of Brexit mean for the European Parliament groups?

The success of @UKLabour is likely to be one of the few bits of good news for the centre-left S&D group.

I expect to see a major re-alignment on the right, after May.
