I hope they all end up on the dole.. give chance for them to see how the other half live.

The reality is that we are now in a pretty precarious situation. I doubt anything is about to become smoother, and when a country is so dysfunctional, it gives opportunity to all sorts of outside , unethical, and trouble making enthusiasts, creeping into society and creating unrest (greater than we have seen in this country) IMO . It's quite worrying.

Easy, just poll the voting results of pro-brexit and anti-brexit parties and you get 40.4 anti and 34.9 pro. Conclusion, there are more people against brexit than for it. You just had your second referendum. Revoke article 50.
the EU secured more votes than those advocating a hard Brexit.

These silly people are not worth arguing with.

In this instance, they have conveniently forgotten that both the Tories and the Loonies said they were in favour of leaving, albeit with a deal of some sort.

The answer is that we really don't know how these two parties will react to the EU elections. If they were blissfully unaware of the majority's wishes before, they are now fully aware of how people feel.

Let's just wait and see what happens.

Well that's easy to predict. Farage's party EFDD has 56 seats of 751, so he is still insignificant. As to the new coalitions that are to be formed in europarliament, nobody wants to bind to the EFDD because half of them will disappear by the end of oktober.
If farage and his tribe behave as is to be expected from them, they will annoy the other mep's so much that another extension by the end of oktober is denied.
What happens then is entirely a matter for the UK. Leaving without a deal or staying by revoking article 50, both is fine as far as the EU is concerned. If only you stop bothering mep's who are busy representing their countries.

Absolute Tosh, as Nige said this morning when ITV's GMB tried that argument.
