Brexiters will claim victory when it's anything but. The remain vote is split via various parties and the town is divided on brexit. This election does fuck all good for anyone

Early days yet. Brexiteers may not claim victory but it may prove that people are not overwhelmingly remain as claimed. |

I'm referring to Swindon but think it will be similar nationally. I think it's split now much like when we had the initial referendum. |

But it overwhelmingly proves there is no mandate for a hard brexit

Yep. Slight increase for Brexit, but mainly due to impatience rather than ideology I suspect. Good to see SRK's extreme hard right UKIP getting a complete pasting, polling even lower than the Tories. Their leader Batten has lost his own seat |

Looks to me like it might pave the way for a shit or bust referendum - the Brexit Party didn't get enough, in my mind, to force Hard Brexit through, Equally though, it gained more than UKIP lost, so people can't say that a sizable part of the country didn't really mean Hard Brexit.
Libs Dems and Greens did quite well, so maybe the final resolution is No deal or fuck it all and just stay.

I was all for allowing a Hard Brexit and certainly not for another vote to happen, however, the Conservative drop off is significant given it didn't all go to Brexit. Muddies the waters but I think we can't faff about thinking some sort of in/out deal is possible. It's all or nothing now. If the Rories had held some vote I'd have said just get on with it, but was surprised to see Lib Dems and Greens pick-up as much as they did.

We have now had the people's vote. No more spin from you anti-democateers please. The people have spoken, not in an opinion poll, but in cold, hard votes. We leave the EU asap. OK?

On the currently announced results (missing Scotland and NI):
Hard Brexit (BXP + UKIP) 36.8%
Remain (LD + GRN + CHUK) 37.0%
May's Deal (Con) 8.8%
Soft Brexit (Lab) 14.6%
Pretty tough to draw anything conclusive from that, other than that one way or the other a lot of people are going to be very cross.

The problem remains, though. That result wouldn’t be repeated in a GE. It’s nonsense for anyone to think to hold a GE on whether to exit, soft exit or no exit - that should be a referendum.
Voting for the Lib Dem’s in a GE just because you want to register a stay vote is ridiculous.
How long can it go on before parliament comes to the only sane way out of this impasse.
