Let's show the world what we are made of..........

Just as I thought. The MEP results shows a split in this country again. I suspect it will be the same when we have our next General Election too. There will have to be a coalition, and that is how the decisions will be made. It will be interesting to see if we end up with another referendum, though the outcry will be huge. After all another referendum will prove our democracy is not all it makes out to be.

So the results are -

Full results expected Tuesday afternoon

Overwhelmingly the Brexit party have the most MEPs. What would happen if the Liberals and the Labour party formed an alliance would be anyone's guess, but to be honest their manifestos are far apart except for Brexit. The results were just like the EU referendum and no-one expected London to have any other result but 'remain'. As for Scotland? Well the SMP have always done well ,and it will be interesting to see if they go ahead with their threat to have a vote for  independence if we leave the EU. I think that would be a travesty though. To see if they can go it alone, and it wont be as easy as they think, will be a sad reflection on what people think of our United Kingdom. We need to be pulling together not splitting up. 

So what is the media making of the results? Well they are saying just what I said a few days ago actually. The country is still split on leaving the EU. The Conservative Party and Labour have paid the price for their messes on Brexit. The results in most areas were similar to that of the original EU referendum. It's interesting to note that we will still obviously have a difficult time ahead. Nothing has really changed and I'm just waiting to see if the Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow will put his finger in again and get involved, even though he is supposed to be unbiased. 

So I think the future for this country is going to go one of two ways. We will either leave with no deal on the thirty first of October this year, or we will have a second referendum. A second referendum will split the country again, and to be honest the argument will go on and on because of it. We need to end it once and for all to be frank. Accept the decision of the majority. If the EU wont give any more concessions we leave with no deal, and move forward with our heads held high. Our country, as I have said before, is resilient. We have fought our own battles with and without the help of allies. We have shown we can be leaders, and can manage our own affairs. It is time to stop all this messing about and move on. Let's get back to business, let's get back to being Great Britain, The United Kingdom, and getting this country on the road to what it deserves. We have a great place to live in, whatever you may think. We have freedom, we are liberal and we are forward thinking. Let's show the world what we are made of...…….
