This election is good for one thing - bringing the Party's closet LibDems out. Osborne and Heseltine are both out, and Major is wriggling with frustration at feeling unable to publicly follow them.
May's utter stupidity means a Conservative vote in the region of 4 - 6%. Dan Hannan may be out of a job, but he should have been anyway by now, so nothing to be sorry for.
So taking ConHome's sage advice, I can only say to you all

HM is visiting Heathrow today - and looking quite stunning

I hope the polls have seriously under-reported the Brexit Party vote and we get at least 40%. The Establishment Remainers need to understand that if they dare force us to hold another Referendum, they will lose by a far larger percentage than 2016.
With British Steel going under and "the Government unable to provide state aid" to prop up a strategically vital industry in the short term, because of EU law, working class Labour supporters have a clear example that the EU does not work in THEIR interests. It's no good Corbyn telling Treason May to "help British Steel" .... his party and her's don't want to be able to do so. They'd rather our money was used to support French farmers.
Lots of the MSM are understandably banging on about what the EU MEP results will mean... trying to analyse the votes in Leave/Remain terms. Plus the further impact on That Awful Woman, her WAB, and the Conservatives.
But perhaps how the other member countries vote is just as important in the longer term (months rather than days). A big swing to 'populist' MEPs could unsettle the complaisant power balance of the EU. Yes, I know the MEPs can't do anything, but they can perhaps stop or slow things being done. They could perhaps break the discipline of the EU27, and we could benefit.
In the meantime consider lending your vote today to the party most likely to achieve your aims... and don't feel any loyalty to Labour or the Conservatives. They have badly let us down and should suffer for it.
Yes was great fun watching that old bloke in the mack who runs something called "LibDems" attempting to put Nigel right regarding state aid and the EU.
How do you think the far right will do in Austria, Raedwald?
OT Edward
I am rooting through my wardrobe to find a pale blue and white shirt to wear for the short walk down to my polling station. Aha! Just the job! The pale blue and white running shirt given to me by the organisers of my last half marathon. That'll do nicely!
Well, these are the EU elections. And you did mention the effect on the EU of populist MEPs generally.
But, yes, it will be interesting to see the turnout among the different groups.
In spite of the temptation of the Tory option - an ex military chap who has been fighting the stealth adoption of the EU Army - I have just voted TBP, Richard Tice.
How any working class voter can support the corporate run EU is a mystery.
First they used our money to subsidise the movement of factories out of the UK and into other parts of the EU followed by importing unlimited numbers of cheap workers into the UK to depress wages.
This is without even considering the loss of our sovereignty and communities and the pressure put on housing, services and infrastructure.
If supporters of Remain (Cheesy Edward) don't get the idea that even a majority of 'hard right' (the ridiculous label applied to common sense politics) in the EU Parliament can't actually make the EU change their ways then there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to show Remainers how corrupt the EU system of politics really is and gullible those Remainers really are.
I am not counting my chickens: polls are shown in recent years to be none too accurate (Aussie elections a case in point last week: 50+ polls all saying the same thing over a long period of time...all wrong.
EU election we SHOULDN'T even be holding, turnout historically low...
Right that's my nay-saying out the way; just off to vote TBP now and praying the polls are UNDERSTATED.
Took a oen with me to vote this morning. It's come to this.
For the avoidance of doubt, I think that the UK should leave the EU ASAP, for the same reasons as Emmanuel Macron does.
The tragedy is Cameron's calling his silly little General Election-gimmick referendum in the first place.
Yeah Cheesy--don't want to give those plebs a choice when smart blokes like you and your EU masters should be calling the shots.
Voted TBP first thing . Good luck to all enemies of the EU and its stooges.
@ Gary C. Sawyer 10:15 a.m.
Yep, me too, black indelible marker pen!
Polling station directly in front of my place, footfall shows more than usual interest,by physical appearance and dress not the frustrated retard milk throwers, fingers crossed.
Oh yes marker pen deffo, implants will will be risking anything.
RAC, how do you exlpain the fact that EU nationals in Tower Hamlets have been denied their vote? Along with UK nationals abroad, it's looking like a possible re-run.
A country that couldn't organise the proverbial.
@Cheerful Edward
Could you please clarify, just in case they might have slipped in all the milkshakes and hurt themselves?
"...turnout historically low..."
That used to be true years ago, but the people here are out enjoying the sun and just bursting to show how they feel, it's amazing. I had to hold the door open for ten couples coming in whilst I was trying to leave the polling station.
I bet the turnout is a record for any EU election.
Today, you see it really means something.
How's turnout in your 'neck of the Alpine woods' Raedwald?
Nice colour coat Her Maj is wearing. It reminds me of the colour of a certain rosette. Is she sending a message do you think?
Elections here are on Sunday - nothing to get excited about
re Ed, there have been two people on Twitter complaining they couldn't vote, at least on eof which was told they hadn't registered. the other had registered and had a polling card but wasn't on the council list. more bureaucratic mess than anything. I suspect the thousands of 'community' postal votes will overshadow that by some laaaaarge margin.
Dr. Evil, yes, sublime colour with and subliminal message hopefully?
Guido has helped us out: same was reported 5 years ago. Ed, try another tack...

Thanks for the pic of HM. Now stolen for my fb page. Live in angry remain area so the message is subtle enough.
If May is going to bale out she better jump now because there's more problems for her just around the corner. You've just got to laugh, she deserves it.

Well you have to bale out with enough air beneath you o inflate your parachute. I think May could be too low, what a disaster. Tee hee,
.
I'm not sure marker pens will help.
Isn't the method to lose most of the real votes and replace them with boxes full of approved votes, previously filled in ?
There are other tricks. Anyone from Zimbabwe will tell you. Mugabe employed a company called Nikuv, if I remember correctly, to help him win elections.

I wonder if, behind the flowers on the Queen's hat are embroidered the letters MUKSA? Make the United Kingdom Great Again.
Voted TBP for country and for democracy with a black ink pen
Words that are unfamiliar and repulsive for the resident traitor "Cheesy Edward"
