The European election results in the UK are being commonly classified as an enormous victory for the Brexit Party. Which is regrettably true, but not quite the whole truth.
If you were to take a list of the numbers of MEPs each party got :-
| Party | MEPs |
| The Brexit Party | 29 |
| Liberal Democrat | 16 |
| Labour | 10 |
| Green | 7 |
You can see that if the next three parties were to hold a pact, they could outvote the Brexiteers every day and twice on every Sunday. Interestingly enough, whilst the Brexit party got 5,248,533 votes, the petition to revoke Article 50 got 6,085,584.
Which seems to indicate that whilst Brexit is the largest ‘party’ in the European elections, the remainers have actually got a slim majority!
