Will Euro elections be a proxy vote on Brexit?

We've been to the East Midlands constituency, which will elect five MEPs and has found that many are treating this election as a proxy vote on Brexit.

Its brilliant though, no matter whether we do leave or not - the cats out the Brexit has shown the politicians true colors - weak, feeble, indecisive fibbers.

It looks to me like a direct vote on Brexit. If the Brexit Party takes control of the UK delegation to the European Parliament, they should be able to force Europe to let go of the UK.

Oh my word, Channel 4 reach new lows when starting off by indirectly attacking a person's surname and background..

[Red__Law]

I left the EU on the 29th of March, just waiting on the establishment to catch up with reality now.

[Charlie_Ses]

Can you imagine the establishment meltdown if Tommy Robinson got elected as an MEP, ha ha ha!

[chunkybuster]

First stupid Channel 4 question, ' isn't your name funny?' MSM grow up!

[silversurfergamer]

Anyone spot the difference.. the people who are wanting to remain all look affluent, the people who want to leave are on the whole, poor, neglected and downtrodden. seems to me, this is not only about saving our democracy, but the remain selfish attitude of im alright jack, sod those people who are so poor and feel so invisible that they have had enough and want to leave a system that has done this to them. Big Businesses wont employ British workers first because they say they are too expensive, they need their immigrant slave labour to maximise profits.its an absolute disgrace. The main stream media are not journalists anymore, they are political activists for remain.. yeah well, we see you and you are not fooling anyone... Dont stay at home, Vote Brexit party and show them we will not be treated like this. Our democratic votes mean more than your profits and always will..

Cant wait to see what shenanigans the brexit MEPs get up to at the European parliament gonna be a chuckle fest

[truckerfromreno]

Tommy Robinson is not the far right - ridiculous.

[fswing]

No. Euro elections are an opportunity for the Brexit and Change UK parties to grab the so sought MEP job of 20000 euros/month salary and a golden retirement. In private, they say Long Live MEP jobs for the boys

Interesting about racism directed to UKIP. Labour charged white rally goers more than ethnic minorities. Not only is it racist, it is illegal. Please can you explain your absence of this reporting fact, or is it simply media bias?

channel 4, only broadcasting to the Islington set but their time is done !

[harsanders]

Inject the Brexit tears into my veins.

[stevewebb]

The brexit party will do very well. People will be voting for the brexit party to show there anger and frustration with the tory and Labour parties that are not following brexit through as was expected?

[Andygb]

Labour: we are the party of both leave and remain. Genius.

[markobrien]

Brexit Party for me....things need to change.

[bendarling]

Labour have spent 3 years trying to find a way of pretending to respect the referendum result while not actually doing so. And, like May, they have failed miserably. The utter incompetence of most of our MPs (further demonstrated by "Change" UK lurching from one disaster to another) is exactly why they don't want to have to make any more decisions than necessary, and that is why they are so desperate to stay in, so they can have nice easy careers as politicians who are all talk (though of course they won't even talk about some issues).

Leaving is the first step to replacing most of the current lot with real people who come up with real solutions to real problems. Who actually want to tackle the "difficult" issues instead of running away from them. Who tell the truth, and who are there to serve our country, rather than just serving themselves and fobbing off the voters as an inconvenience who must be deceived and patronised. It is possible, it must happen, and we deserve it!

People with a privileged background like Annunziata have no idea about the daily struggles of poor people. Still she's leading them. It's ridiculous!

[bryanmacinnes]

the European elections are exactly that! as a member the british are obliged to vote for the candidate of choice thats it.

[hansgruber]

Wow channel 4, immediately going in for “she’s posh therefore ppl are disillusioned with politicians”

Ffs how about “media/elite continually missing the point causing mass disillusionment”
