I'm glad racists are expelled from the Brexit Party, that's a difference between it and UKIP and why I could never vote for UKIP.
Don't forget this was a pathetic MEP election that should never have happened, not a proper election.
If the UK leaves the EU in October then mission accomplished and it doesn't matter who we voted for as all our MEPs are instantly made redundant.
If it leaves later or never at all then I couldn't give a flying fuck about political dysfunction at the EU, we should have left.
The Brexit Party is not a far right group and the idea that their influence is increased when I voted against all the far-right groups standing is a non-sequitur.
So what's the problem? Who else should I have voted for? Should I have voted to endorse Theresa May?
There were multiple far-right options on the ballot paper in my region (North West). There was Gerrard Batten's UKIP which has transformed into an anti-Islam BNP. There was Tommy Robinson. Interestingly even on the European level UKIP are associated with far right parties across the continent like the French National Rally (formerly National Front), the Dutch PVV and the Austrian Freedom Party. My vote helped to ensure they won ZERO MEPs to represent the country. The Dutch and French etc did elect those MEPs so maybe concentrate on where real problems are.
