It seems really unlikely to me that a leader may appear all of a sudden.

I think Theresa May will look for vengeance. I admire her at some extent, but if I were her, I would have resigned after the first time that the House voted for her to stay as premier immediately after not voting for the brexit deal she proposed.

Today polling station will be open in Czech Republic and Ireland. Good vote @OlympicIRL 

 

Just back from voting. Voted for a mixture of left-leaning and Green Party candidates in the local and EU elections and voted in favour of the divorce amendment.

Also, in Ireland, most candidates and parties and the general public are pro-European and in general the level of anti-EU sentiment is quite low here.

 

I don’t expect turnout to be very strong this year. It’s been a very low-key election this time and Brexit fatigue has really set in so it’s harder to motivate people when it comes to politics at the moment.

Bees are exiting EU too?

Things are looking good in my constituency for my candidates I cast my preferential votes for (Carthy, McHugh and Flanagan). Looks like all 3 will win a seat in the EU parliament

Also, delighted with the new "green wave" that appears to be sweeping Ireland. The Green Party looks set to win a seat in all 3 of the EU constituencies which could help sway the balance of power in the EU parliament. Very happy with the first tally figures
