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?

I looked too and couldn't see one so will plonk myself here for yours GrinWine

Sleepyhead11 · 26/05/2019 20:01

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.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 26/05/2019 20:33

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

I'll be up for a while watching

Sleepyhead11 · 26/05/2019 21:09

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.
😮

Sleepyhead11 · 26/05/2019 21:23

@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.

OP posts:
CinnabarRed · 26/05/2019 21:25

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

Sleepyhead11 · 26/05/2019 21:26

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.

OP posts:
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.
