Wales was 37.3% (32% in 2014).
So perhaps over 63% didn't vote as they expect Brexit to actually happen, so why vote for an MEP?
Add that percentage to The Brexit Party vote and there is a landslide for leaving the EU.
Anyone can "play" with the figures, to suit their agenda.

I very nearly didn't vote, just didn't see the point, it was literally due to a large queue of traffic at the top of my road that made me stop and go in and I was tempted to vote kipper, the only one canvassing outside the was an old boy, he'd been stood there all day and I admired him for it, sadly not quite enough to change sides again but credit to him, no one else bothered and it's not like he didn't know it was going to be one last hurrah for them.

It also had a diverse range of ethnic candidates, which was far from the case in UKIP.
BP is not UKIP.

Liberal Democrats caught in a lie - they claim now after the vote that Labour is a Remain so they can fudge the argument that Remain won more votes, but they campaigned on a ticket which said a vote for them, is a vote to stop brexit and it said "Conservatives, Labour, Brexit Party and UKIP" is a vote for Brexit.
See the image of the leaflet....
