It's not long into the counting bit it looks like the Brexit party have, as predicted, won most of the votes in the EU elections.

The Brexit party candidates are a motley crew of thinly veiled fascists hiding behind an extremely bland leafleting campaign. Assuming that brexit happens after October this repellent gang of ne'er-do-wells will enjoy a mercifully brief tenure.

But in the mean time they will be able to boast in the msm, and of course on Twitter, about how they now have a "mandate" to further poison the public debate with their prejudices.
