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?

Following, love an election result.

@woohootoyou - it will be interesting to see how the combined votes for all the pro-Brexit and pro-Remain parties add up.

I voted remain and work in Brexit, but I think that we could have left by now (respecting the democratic Referendum, that happened to not go the way I wanted), successfully, with different leadership.

"The results speak for themselves, and show that Mumsnet is a bit of an echo chamber."

You are correct there. Though MN is a useful bellwether - the side with the most dominating voices here has gone on to lose, time after time

MN is not RL, nor a terribly representative of it

Interested in this thread?

Although i’d still prefer to remain..,

Thank you!

Motherfuckers.

So depressing, but I have grown to expect nothing more from this country. The bad guys keep winning. Sad

churchthecat · 26/05/2019 22:54
Sad

Why didn’t the pro remainders get together and organise themselves properly!

Pomegranatepompom · 26/05/2019 22:54

I absolutely agree, I may be naive but I don't understand JC continues to get backing.
It was a shame Chuka didn't;t go ahead (has a secret maybe?)
Really like Yvette, don't know enough about Keir.

LizzieSiddal · 26/05/2019 22:55

36% turnout, what a croc of shit!

TrixieFranklin · 26/05/2019 22:55

Balls - my 3 year old fell out of bed and has got in with me now so have had to switch off the news for Peppa bloody Pig - apparently it's not fair that I'm allowed to watch TV at night in bed and he's not HmmBiscuit fingers crossed he'll be out for the count before more results come in!

venturingback · 26/05/2019 22:56

Brexit 3
Lib Dem 2
Greens 1
Conservatives 1

Eastern region results

CinnabarRed · 26/05/2019 22:56

@LizzieSiddal - there wasn’t enough time to get Electoral Commission approval to campaign under one ballot. I’m no fan of Heidi Allen, but despite the media coverage this one’s not on her.

meditrina · 26/05/2019 22:57

The turnout is the second highest UK turnout for a Euro election (source, BBC website), up,from last time round, with greatest increases in areas which had voted 'remain' in the referendum.

churchthecat · 26/05/2019 22:57

I'm out, I can't keep watching.

Good luck guys.

MeltedCrayons · 26/05/2019 22:57

North East, result:

Brex: 2 MEPs (+2)
Lab: 1 (-1)

East of England, seat allocation:

Brex: 3 MEPs
LDem: 2
Grn: 1
Con: 1

CinnabarRed · 26/05/2019 22:57

Keir is consistently voted the MP with best hair by fellow MPs...

beeyourself · 26/05/2019 22:57

It doesn't bode well for Corbyn if Islington voted Lib Dem

redbedheadd · 26/05/2019 22:58

I'll check back in at the 3am baby feed! Hard to watch 🙈
