| Britain's Pro-Brexit Party Is Forecast To Dominate The Upcoming Election And Feelings Will Be Hurt |
| 2019-05-22 |
| [RedState] The United Kingdom is currently stuck in a malaise over Brexit, with Theresa May continuing to fail with her proposals for how exactly to accomplish the pullout from the European Union. May’s strategy has been a kind of soft Brexit, which lets the U.K. officially leave but then saddles them with many of the same regulations and issues they suffer with now. There’s no point in leaving the EU if Britain will still be under the thumb of Brussels but without any of the economic benefits. Problems with how to handle the border with Northern Ireland also continue to throw a wrench in things. That’s a very simplified version of the situation, but the overall theme is that she can’t cobble together a majority to avoid the coming hard Brexit (which has already been extended once). In the middle of all this, European Parliament elections are coming up on Thursday in the U.K. and we may be in for another big result. Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party is set to dominate according to polling and looks to take nearly double the seats of the Labour and Liberal parties. |

| #3 Hopefully they win big enough they don't need to form a coalition government and can tell the other parties to go fuck themselves. |

| #2 How soon do they get rid of the truly awful Theresa May? 1776 is looking better and better all the time. |
