    So the Not606 poll results give Leave parties (Tory, Labour, Brexit and Stainsey’s Socialist I presume) 25 votes, and Remain ( Lib Dem, Green, Change) 21, discounting Goldie's second ‘other’ vote. Leave 47%, Remain 40%, no vote 13%. Ignoring the won’t vote element (a massive underestimate of course, most people on here who won’t vote replicated this on the forum poll, not even registering their apathy) that’s a 54.3% Leave, 45.7% Remain split, Leave strengthens its position.

    I suspect this will be quite accurate again. As Strolls says the turnout will be interesting. More than previous EU elections, especially if above 50%, and it’s a very powerful statement.
    Will the Socialist Party attempt to impose Socialism from above by aggregating more power to the state in the name of the people? You need re-education mate, we need to talk.

    I was going to give a slightly different analysis. If you ignore Tory and Labour (which could be said to be a Remain party, despite its leader), the 'protest' votes are 21 each, which would be quite appropriate.

    Anyway, this poll is closing now. We'll see how accurate we were come Sunday.

    Would a mod please close this thread now? We can revert to the Politics Thread for further analysis and the usual nonsense.

    The Tories didn't even bother with a manifesto for these elections did they?

    Sorry mate, the site gave me 8 days exactly from the time I opened the poll, which meant it closed at 11.39am. Where would you have put your X? I'll add it in when I use the D'Hondt system to allocate seats.
