Just vote for the party that you feel affinity with. The persons elected in the EU parliament don't represent constituencies or even countries. In the EU parliament every mep joins up with an international faction. If I remember correctly, in the present parliament members from UK conservatives joined up with two different factions.

leave voters, but should be used simply as a means of
demonstrating support for the party that has stated its
intention to exit the EU! with a view to taking part in any
future uk general election! which imo is the only way to get
the referendum result honoured!

Re: Brexit or UKIP
I was wondering how many conservative party members will vote Brexit Party but still retain the conservative membership ?I bet that number is very high.
Come the election of the new PM, I can see a lot of conservatives voting for a complete bell end like Amber Rudd to confirm the remain bias of the party. In a general election this would remove them from the runnings against the Brexit Party and split the remain vote between them, the Greens, Lib Dems, Labour and Change UK even further.

Polling is private even for MPs, and they are therefore free to vote for whoever they want without having the worry of retributions coming down from the PM or their party leader.
I certainly hope as many as possible will vote for the BP.
