I live in France.
These people should not be allowed to vote.
Surely if Brexit and UKIP don't get a 50% share of the vote then a No Deal Brexit would be undemocratic? They are the only parties that are standing on a No Deal ticket.
Do we get exit polls on these elections does anybody know?
No. Basically Europe is voting till Sunday so no information is allowed to come out until all polls close.
Makes sense, thank you
Stupid Europe, ruining my poll excitement.
Have a bank holiday makes it easier to stay up for results though
Just hope the Brexit party doesn't get 35-40% vote share. I tried to bet £500 at 11/4 that they'd win the largest vote share then tried to bet another £500 they'd win 35-40%.
Santander though deemed them both suspicious activities and I've only just been unblocked.
I've already let go the £1375 I won't win but another £2k would send me over the edge.

Voted for Greens in the end. Looked at my ballot sheet and it was fecking uninspiring to say the least.
Did the same, couldn't vote Lib Dems even tactically and well climate change is an even bigger feck up than brexit.
Seems some are reporting Dutch exit polls?
8.27pm update: Dutch exit poll results are in - with a shock result
The Netherlands' Labour party won most Dutch votes for the European Parliament on Thursday, according to an exit poll, which was a surprise result that gives a boost to European Commissioner Frans Timmermans, Labour's lead candidate.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte's conservative VVD party finished second and easily saw off a challenge from the upstart nationalist Forum for Democracy party of populist Thierry Baudet.
didn't polls say the Forum for Democracy were going to win
EU law only bans them before voting closes in any particular country, whereas UK law won't allow them till it's done everywhere.
I thought Dutch Labour had been PASOKed as well, interesting.
Do in theory I can get UK polls from a foreign news oulet (if any did exit polls?)
In The Netherlands the biggest parties are the traditional pro EU parties. Anti EU dickstain Baudet also got 3 seats, but meh.
Is there mainly an pro-EU feeling amongst the Netherlands? considering how good your rail and public transport services are i wonder what ours would be like if they weren't privatised.
What he feck is wrong with this country?
actually that looks about normal

So at a guess it will probably come in around mid / low 30's in the UK - and will be interesting to see if the downward trend continues in Europe or not
With what's going on, I would have expected a much higher turnout.
I think unless you're die hard leave or remain you wouldn't care. Lots of people probably cant be bothered anymore or see it as pointless.
Some people forget, some can't be arsed, some can't make time for it. In Finland they have their votes on Sunday, that would probably result in a larger turn out in the UK tbh.
The general public don't really understand or care about either the EU or Brexit.
Or politics.
That too.
The turnout for European elections has been in steady decline across the EU for a long time. The UK has always been particularly uninterested though, with turnouts well below the EU average. The stats are just proof of a fundamentally different disposition that has always existed in Britain towards the whole 'European project'.
I have two friends in England who couldn't vote. They arrived at the polls and were told they couldn't vote because they hadn't sent back a form that supposedly they had received in the mail a couple of months ago (the forms were to know if they would vote in the UK or Portugal in these elections, they have voted in previous UK elections). That form never arrived to their homes. From what portuguese tv news said, this seemed to be a widespread issue.
Prediction.
Brexit Party: 34%
Conservatives: 5%
UKIP: 1%
Lib Dems: 19%
Greens: 11%
SNP: 6%
Plaid: 3%
Change: 1%
Labour: 10%

German green party at 22%. Incredible. Never thought I'd see something like this.
What time can we expect to see results?
SNP at 6% would mean basically 100% voted for them in Scotland. It will likely be around 35-40%, so maybe 2-3% overall.
Doesn't matter who we vote for in the UK we are finishing last. ……
What about the other 10%
What about the other 10%
My predictions aren't great at the best of times. On a bank holiday sunday they are even worse.
Shove Tories and Labour up by 5 points each, put the nationalists down a bit and UKIP/Change up a bit and it's very plausible.
Individual Council results will get leaked I think as well.
