Using 2014 data and Yougov poll, upcoming European election looks like this (*=pro-Remain)

MEPs (Change)
UKIP: 0 (-24)
Tories: 9 (-10)
Labour: 19 (-1)
*Green: 5 (+2)
*LibDems: 2 (+1)
Brexit: 27 (+27)
*Change UK: 4 (+4)
*SNP: 4 (+2)
*Plaid Cymru: 0 (-1)

Overall, the clearly pro-Remain parties (Green, LibDems, Change UK, SNP and Plaid Cymru) look like this...

2014 European elections: 7 MEP total
2019 European elections: 15 MEP total

It's a good start. Hopefully the trend will move favourably in the next 3 weeks.
The first step to improving that trend further is to make sure as many people as possible are registered to vote (deadline is 7 May). Voting is open to UK citizens, and to EU citizens living in the UK. Register to vote by following the link below!

Very very very early local election take, before I get some sleep (this could all be nonsense in a few hours, so take with a Mt Everest of salt please!)
- Tories aren't doing *that* badly because in many areas they're the "hardest" Brexit party there is (no local UKIP candidate)
- Greens and Liberal Democrats seeing some fab numbers 🤗
- Labour discovering that when you sit on the fence and attempt to please everyone in a *highly* polarised situation, you please nobody at all. So they're suffering at the hands of voters putting Brexit over local issues.
Overall, a good way for the pro-Remain forces to kick off an intense 3 weeks running up to the European elections.

And with that, good night!

Some interesting figures in latest Yougov poll on European election voting intentions. Unfortunately not detailed enough to get a regional picture equivalent to the defined voting regions, but only 6% of those who voted remain state they definitely won't vote, vs 14% of leavers.
That's not a giant gap, but it's not peanuts either. It means that the vote for clearly pro-Remain parties will see an amplification effect over that for pro-Brexit parties, especially if the former spend the next 3 weeks burnishing their "Remain" credentials during campaigning.
And here's a link to the poll that figure came from...

#poll If there was a Snap General Election, who would you vote for?

(For other parties, please vote them in comments)

Please RT once Voted! 😃
1997: Blair 13.5mn votes
1997-2015: Blairites/ Others lost 180 seats & 5mn voters
2017: Corbyn 12.8mn votes/ Gained 32

2019:

add first time voters (75% of those who vote, vote for Labour)

Subtract 2% of the population, 80% of whom vote Tories!

Labour Landslide on the cards!
Lab’s share of vote could be 14.5+mn

Once we take into account first time voters- 16 or under at 2017

first time voters -never voted before, disenchanted by Blair years whilst

removing Tory support -loss of voters due to old age

=> Lab will gain 100+ seats from Tories alone

How can Corbyn get into Downing St at the next election if one comes soon? Here is my thread looking at what needs to change from the 2017 #GeneralElection when #Labour won 262 seats. /1
To become the largest party, Labour needs to gain around 30 seats. It so happens that there are 29 seats where Labour is in 2nd place less than 3 pts behind the incumbent. 21 are held by the #CONSERVATIVES, 7 by the SNP, 1 by #plaidcymru. /2
To get a working majority, Labour needs to gain 61 seats given Sinn Fein don't take their seats. It so happens there are 62 seats where Labour is in 2nd place less than 7 pts behind the incumbent. 45 are held by the Conservatives, 16 by the SNP, 1 by Plaid Cymru /3

Why have I changed my mind since the 2016 EU Referendum and why it is wrong to continue to support Brexit?
Nothing has convinced me otherwise.
Let the people have the final say
#PeoplesVote #RemainerNow #tory #labour #libdems #brexit
The country is divided and some of the reasons many of us who voted Leave have been laid bare: immigration, lack of respect, fear for your job and squeeze on public services.
#PeoplesVote #RemainerNow #tory #labour #libdems #brexit
Trust me, sovereignty was way, way down the list!
We lashed out upsetting the apple cart and gave the government a bloody nose and like many got joy at watching David Cameron lose his job.

As far as I am concerned, the time to convert Leavers is over. Thread. 1/
2/ Since the referendum we meticulously collated facts, enlisted people who know their stuff - from politicians over scientists, business owners, teachers and healthcare professionals.All walks of life, all nationalities represented in modern Britain
3/ We presented facts, figures, estimates, graphs, cartoons.... you name it. Even songs and breakfasts. We reached out and stayed patient when we were yelled at and called enemies of the people. Some people were assaulted.
