Pro-Brexit Party wins European Elections

Nigel Farage’s newly formed Brexit party were triumphant in the European elections, taking 31 per cent of the votes, comfortably ahead of the pro-Remain Liberal Democrats who came second place with 20 per cent of the votes. The Brexit party had one single pledge to the electorate which was to deliver Brexit, and this clear strategy was evidently preferred by voters who appeared to have lost faith in the Conservative and Labour parties which have been divided in their views on Brexit. Mr Farage’s next challenge is the by-election in Peterborough on June 6 and a potential general election later in the year. If the party wins the by-election, they will secure a place in the House of Commons, giving them a fighting chance in the general election
