The fact that a brand new party can command this level of support this early in its short life is nothing short of amazing.
Strange that you seem to think that support for Brexit is waning when this new party is clearly much more popular than the rest! They are set to be the largest UK party in the EU if Parliament can't get its act together and leave. This poll should be a sobering wake up call for all MPs. Deliver a proper Brexit now, or else.

Are they? You can’t quantify that claim as true. There’s no rational reason why a leave voter would stay with Conservatives/Labour in an election to offices they dint want to exist anyway.
Or else what? In a FPTP general election the Brexit party falls like a stone much like UKIP previously. A general election matters - we could get Corbyn after all, a European one doesn’t.
There’s nothing amazing about this poll. It’s entirely predictable. The question is whether someone else can become an effective vehicle for remain/2nd ref and get the rest of the Con/Lab votes. A brand new party, led by Farage, isn’t really new at all.
