Brexit slowly becoming a Farce.

Will the new Gammon Party stand in Scotland?  In some respects it could be good if they do as their vote share should be pretty low. Surely the SNP will win the vote here (albeit on a low turnout) quite comfortably. If the Gammons stand it can send another 'Remain' message from here.

If no Leave supporting MEP is elected from Scotland it will be because the Leave vote is split between UKIP and Brexit Party, rather than any lack of support for Leave in Scotland.

Either the SNP will get a 3rd seat or the top 3 parties will get 2 each, but surely Tories count as "leave supporting MEPs" now?

5 of the 6 MEP seats will probably stay the same. The 6th, currently held by David Coburn, is up for grabs.  I think it will end up going to the SNP.

I think if you voted Leave and you still support the Tories you probably need your head examined.

I don't think you quite get the d'Hondt voting system. Neither do I to be honest. The remain vote will also be split between parties, maybe including Labour. And the Tories will likely still be on the brexit side.

2 SNP

2 Labour

1 Tory

All of those are pretty safe IMO.

 

The 6th seat could go to any of 3rd SNP, 2nd Tory or even Lib Dem/Green. Only 2 things that are really unlikely is a Coburn hold or a Labour 3rd seat, but then anything can happen in a PR election.

If Brexit is not resolved by September the Labour Party has the opportunity at conference to adopt an unequivocal policy in favour of a second referendum.  That is what the overwhelming majority of members want.

To do this they will need to be strong, focussed, organised and ruthless and not allow themselves to be bullied and railroaded into a fudged position by dinosaurs like McCluskey.

Yeah, it's not as if support for leave in Scotland was polling at 28% three days ago.  It's clearly very popular.

All quiet on the Brexit front the day lads.  Does that mean it's been cancelled?

We are into what was left of the Easter recess. Might give us all a wee break from the endless omnishambles.

Seems like the Tories have gotten bored of it and  skipped past the Brexit bit and gone straight to the leadership contest...
