It's easy to find, even if you obviously don't like what it very clearly shows.
I found it.
When you find it you'll see it says this too:

Not bad for a political party formed mere weeks before said election though and with candidates named only just in time.

But didn't they just all vote for Nigel Farage because he's the type of good old british racist that you'd meet down the pub?

Basically ukip 2.0

When DJ's move radio station and the audience follows, that has nothing to do with the radio station.

It's kinda impressive that Nigel Farages followers haven't listened to him say that leaving the EU won't make them better off.

Not long to go now, they just need to keep you on the hook until we've left and then you'll be discarded and want to join our uprising.

Oh I'm stricken!

Pull your finger out and press a few buttons yourself, or is it beyond you - or is it really because you know just how wrong you are?


BBC

Try it
Go on, you can do it.



Typical spoonfed EU types, incapable of doing anything without clinging on to something for support.

Zuzel and Triple zero, you have still not explained what the chart shows. It does NOT show the MEPs elected in each constituency. I can only suppose, like I already said, that it shows the party with the relative majority in each constituency. You do know what relative majority means, right? If you want to use those results to try to predict the results in a very distortive and perverse system like FPTP, it may be relevant. If you are trying to infer the results of a referendum, in which each vote counts and no vote is wasted, then NO.

I get it that Brexiters have a difficult relationship with reality, but the fact remains that pro Remain parties won more votes than pro hard Brexit parties.

Already had, thank you - and there’s nothing. So unless you provide a link, the only reasonable assumption is that you’re making it up.

The chart posted shows "leading parties", ie the relative majority, like I had guessed.

Do Brexiters understand the concept of RELATIVE majority?

You wrote that the chart shows "the seats now held by the Brexit Party".

NO, that's factually FALSE.

The chart shows the "leading party", ie the relative majority.

You can see this in the links which I posted, and you didn't, to the BBC website.

So, yes, I had debunked this piece of fake news.

Are you ready to admit that what you wrote was factually false and apologise for it???

Also, Triple zero, are you now ready to admit that I had, yes, debunked this nonsense that the chart shows seats held? Will you be so kind and honest as to admit your mistake? Who is making himself look foolish (your words)?

Seeing as the UK makes a sizable net contribution. Who is going to fund the difference to simply maintain the status quo. Let alone contribute to the increased spending plans.

If money wasn't everything you wouldn't be residing where you do. There's many ordinary working people across Europe who would enjoy your lifestyle.

Also, beside money where UK is the second net largest contributors, The EU is really afraid that if the UK is not tied up to the EU and after a decade of Brexit (say), the UK triumph the EU will be over.

That is why they keep making the Irish border as an issue to keep UK under the EU. They even offer an extension unilaterally without UK asking for it knowing that that Boris win the election.

How would you enforce border checks without a border?
How do you ensure products allowed in one country but not another don't slip through?
What would happen to NI retailers if people can shop in ROI, claim VAT back at the border, then go back to NI without the UK charging VAT on personal imports (as announced)?
How about the peace process in NI?
Etc etc etc
