European Election - 23rd May 2019


Enigma

Recommended Posts

Poor Tommy's American supporters will be outraged they weren't allowed to vote in the North West if he doesn't win a seat, and claim a rigged vote.

Exit polls seem to have been released in France, RTE openly discussing how the EU count is going in Ireland. Why is the UK prohibited to mention anything before 10. Very strange

I think it's our rules rather than the EU, no exit polls to be revealed before every polling station has closed, in this case in the whole of Europe.

Cheers Rodger for the updates on turnout!

Interesting! As, rumours on Thursday were turnout was low/down. It looks like we'll be on average for the nation about 44-45% which is fairly decent.

From the Guardian.

Scotland – 11am Monday (12.35pm in 2014). N.B. Seats allocation for Scotland will be known from overnight local counts but the Western Isles count taking place in the day delays the final declaration.

How can they be sure of this it's close?

They won't if it's very close, but if it is clear from the other 31 councils then they can make a safe projection before the final declaration.

Shameful if it ends up being 3 pro brexit mep’s in Scotland with Labour Brexit and Tories possibly getting a seat. Also Lib dems? Wtf?

Think 2 is the max, hoping for one.

Apparently we cannot announce exit polls from the U.K. until polling across Europe is finished.  Yet the Guardian are reporting exit polls from Spain and France!

 

They had Dutch exit polls yesterday. We're just applying the same rules we have any domestic election, no exit polls announced till all polling stations are closed.

It’s a strange one, but it’s a UK law/directive. Frustrating, but I suppose it doesn’t actually matter.

Will we get exit polls at 10? 

I don't believe anybody was arsed to do an exit poll in the UK so I do not think so.
