not sure what to make of that. I still hold that the UK should get its hard no-deal Brexit, or the turmoil will never stop (on one side), but the numbers tell of a still hopelessly divided
Yes. Leave = Brexit+UKIP = 35.3% of the vote
Remain = LibDem+Greens+SNP+Change = 35.9%
They are still divided in opinions. Whichever way it goes, half of the electorate will be upset.
The message to the currently-ruling Tories, though, is that most of THEIR electorate is for BRexit.

I find it amusing that the Lib Dems are doing much better without Nick Clegg than when he was supposedly the "most popular" party leader. I have no idea if they've veered left or right lately. When Tony Blair was in power, they tried to position themselves as the progressive left-wing alternative, when Cameron was in power they joined the "Conservative" government so who knows? It would be hard to run to the left of that kook Corbyn and I doubt they will pick up any disgruntled conservatives.
On side note, shouldn't the "Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy" coalition (all the anti-EU parties that agree with Brexit) refuse to take their seats out of "principle" like the secessionist parties in Scotland and Ireland do when they win seats in the UK Parliament? Seems a bit hypocritical... "we MUST get out of the EU... but I'm not giving us my job there and cushy salary!"
