There is however going to be a Strasbourg election in May, which is as close as we are going to get to a second referendum on Brexit. Given everything that has happened in our politics this year, I’d say these Euro-elections warrant a one-off, guest appearance in the “elections that matter” category ...
I think it's all about the pressure a strong vote for the Brexit Party in the Euros will apply to the current Government.
