Margaret, the latter half of your post above is accurate, but the first part isn’t. The Brexit Party won 2 of the 8 MEP seats for London.
And as a perfect example of just how non-liberal and undemocratic are many LibDems, one of their women candidates (American sounding) elected in London said on the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation this morning that she didn’t accept the Brexit Party members as legitimately elected.
Not surprised, given that her entire party are Democracy-deniers and refuse to accept the majority vote in a 72% turn out (about twice the turn out of these Eurine elections).
I think Farage got it right, despite the BBC’s worst efforts to misrepresent the facts, that, in terms of the overall vote, the split appears very much like it was in the 2016 referendum.
