And the Brexit Party failed to take the opportunity.
Labour are a shambles, it was a high Leave area, the previous MP was a criminal and still The Brexit Party couldn't take advantage.

Do we know what the demographic of Peterborough is and how it has changed over recent years?
If there is a high benefits culture in Peterborough, leftwing parties would be their obvious choice.
The Brexit Party got more votes than the two Remain parties combined did.
Despite all this, the Brexit Party has delivered another warning shot across the bow of the Remainers.

60% voted LEAVE.
If the Brexit Party are so good why didn't they get 60%?
The warning isn't to Remainers, it is to the parties that promised Leave.

If you are on benefits, you vote for the hand that feeds you.
It is called self-preservation.

Incorrect; many vote Tory, UKIP or now Brexit Party. (on edit Or don't vote at all)
The biggest loser were the Tories which was down 25%; Labour down 17%
Remain parties gained too but in a hugely Leave area not substantially.
It was a low turnout - Brexit should have walked it.

Who has told you that fairytale?
Is it from a leftwing source?
Turkeys would not vote for Christmas.
If you are doing all right on benefits, you are not going to vote for a party that might cut those benefits.

The unemployed and working class read The Sun and The Star - they are right wing lie machines. Why did Labour do so badly in the EU elections; because their working class vote shifted to the Brexit Party.
We voted for Brexit, so that proves that turkeys do vote for Xmas

Are the Sun and the Star newspapers dishing out benefits?
How you vote in the EU elections is not going to directly affect your benefits.
Those on benefits may wish to leave the EU and vote for the Brexit Party in an EU election, but whom you vote for in a parliamentary election is a different matter.
No...the British have understood there is a Brussels gang that behaves as a criminal organization destroying nation states' sovereignty.
The EU is not France. It is not Germany. It is not Italy. And it has never been UK

"I encountered evidence of structural fraud embedded in the European Commission systems," she said. "High officials knew this was the case, and still is the case. I am the one who has behaved as a real European - and I have paid for it with my job."
Brussels rarely fires staff, though several whistleblowers have been sacked in recent years. Officials linked to the disappearance of £3 million in "slush funds" are still on full salary more than two years later, though their conduct was described by fraud investigators as a "vast enterprise of looting".
The decision may be Mr Kinnock's last act before stepping down as the commissioner in charge of fighting fraud.
Mrs Andreasen was suspended from her £85,000 job in May 2002 for breaking "hierarchy lines". She contacted the Court of Auditors and Euro-MPs after superiors ignored her warnings, later telling the press that the EU's £63 billion budget was "an open till waiting to be robbed".
A leaked memo to Mr Kinnock from the EU's senior auditor said her claims were "factually and substantively correct" and her suspension "would be a serious blow to reform, sending a signal that the old ways of keeping things from happening still work".
"She informed Neil Kinnock and his colleagues of her concerns, yet Neil Kinnock's response was to suspend her and now sack her."

No. Which is why I still support Remain. I don't support the anti-democratic tendencies of Quitlers like Dominic Raab who would, in the name of restoring parliamentary sovereignty (which, after all is what Brexit is all about, apparently), try to suspend the current Parliamentary session to stop MPs from continuing to oppose the UK's withdrawal from the EU.

Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. Our current Parliament and its speaker need to be put out of their misery.
They are driving the rest of us up the wall.
Dominic Raab is probably the best of the bunch but I will not be voting for any of them anymore.
They have shown us that they cannot be trusted.

No, I'm seriously centrist; it just looks left to you because you are off the scale to the right.

Amazing from someone who wants to "Take our sovereignty back" - our parliament is our sovereignty.
Yet you want to over rule it. What you want is a dictatorship.

If it were a dictatorship, it would only be temporary, unlike the EU.
More proof of how criminal the EU is.
Angela Merkel offers the presidency of the European Council to Letta..a leftist Freemason.
Salvini said "No, thank you."
We Italians say NO to Bankers. NO to Freemasons.

So say all who seek power without checks or balances. There's no way a Conservative, UKIP or Brexit Party Ltd politician could pass up an opportunity like that to indulge in some serious abuse of power.
What is this beef the far-right has with Freemasons? Seriously, what did they ever do to you?
