I just looked and didn't find it, but have missed threads a few times as seem to always look in wrong place. If there is a thread please can you tag me in it?

Thanks Trixie, I hope we've not just missed it.

A few weeks ago I started a thread on something only to be told there was already a huge one I had missed.

I just saw this - it's a leak(?) I think - not sure if real though although the Tweeter is a reliable journalist so am guessing maybe is

There's a westminsters thread in the Brexit topic, a few are staying up I think.

Interesting link OP.

TrixieFranklin · 26/05/2019 20:29

Thanks for the link OP! Interesting read and interesting replies on Twitter there.

POLITICO is reporting that Le Pen has more MEPs than Macron, based on exit polls.

Thanks for this thread,OP.

Hello, I’ll be here. I think labour made a huge error in not being the party for remain.

User12563356 · 26/05/2019 20:35

Ill be here too!

CinnabarRed · 26/05/2019 20:40

Turn out across the EU forecast to be above 50% for the first time ever! Depends on whether the UK drags it down.

anthisan · 26/05/2019 20:42

Here too!

Langrish · 26/05/2019 20:45

Don’t think the coverage starts until 10.

AutumnCrow · 26/05/2019 20:48

There are lots of predictions on Twitter, people saying Brexit Party have done best, which I find sad, but Lib Dems have done well too.

Thank you Rafals

Francis Elliott of the Times says the Conservatives are predicting internally that they’ll only win one seat.

@CinnabarRed wow - just checked his Twitter and he said it might even be 0

I wonder how Lab will do? I normally vote for them but didn't this time.

CinnabarRed · 26/05/2019 21:25

I’m the same. Voted Green in the end, after a long discussion with my 11 year old.

So did I. I was really torn though and didn't make the final decision until I was in the ballot box. I think it was the right choice for me. It looks like Scotland might get our first Green MEP this time.

Mum2jenny · 26/05/2019 21:29

It was a tough choice for me, choose the best from a bad lot or spoil the ballot paper?
I did vote for a party, but it was really a protest vote

CinnabarRed · 26/05/2019 21:30

I spoiled my ballot for the locals.

Looks like there might be a Green surge across Europe.
