Great to see the Remain parties getting 40.3% of the vote compared to UKIP-Brrxit Party's 34.9%.

And a bleak night of tsunami type proportions for the Conservative party and the Labour party...

If it's the second referendum Ann Widicombe claimed then how else do you add up the votes, it's bad enough having to leave the Tory and Labour votes out because they don't know what they want!

Not yet is isn't. Think it will be though and I think that could turn out to be very useful in us getting a better deal

However as we are leaving it all seems like a pointless exercise..

All shows just how split the country is. Whatever happens with Brexit we're heading for disaster.

Libs + Green + SNP + PC + Change UK.

What this does, above all else, is put to bed the Remainers mantra of “you didn’t know what you were voting for” and that I’d there was another referendum it would be slam dunk for Remain.

When they quite obviously did and it would quite obviously would not be.

Surely SNP is also Leave. By leaving the UK they would automatically leave the EU.

Nice to see your wearing an even bigger set of blinkers.

Re: Brexit
 
Change U.K. - 3.4
LibDem - 20.3
Plaid - 1
SNP - 3.6
Green 12.1

40.4 = Remain at all cost

Brexit - 31.6 = Leave, with no deal if necessary

Tories - 9.1
Labour - 14.1

23.1 Leave, with a deal only

So I don’t see how Remain won?

Well he only said the Remain vs 'Hard' Brexit parties. There were were voters for the former.

The overall question depends how you view the Labour votes IMO. Since Labour's positions is rather split with their backing of a vote if they can't get an election.

I think the vote shows how split the country is.

If we ignore the whole 'let's add all the parties up' and just concentrate on what it means for Parliament it's not helped much.

The Tories didn't just lose to the Brexit Party, they lost to the Liberal Democrats too.
Labour didn't just lose to the Liberal Democrats, they lost a lot of Northern seats to the Brexit Party.
