Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party has had early success according to recent polls and is expected to maintain its lead ahead of Labour and the Tories in this month’s European elections. The Tories have come under fire for the party’s failure to deliver Brexit with many blaming Theresa May as the root cause. Brexiteer Kate Hoey also criticised her own Labour Party and predicted that both the Labour and Tories would struggle against the Brexit Party in the elections.

Labour has most recently announced that it will be attempting to appeal to both Remainers and Brexiteers however many people have argued that this decision will prove difficult as voters won’t understand where the party stands with Brexit.

The Labour Brexiteer told TalkRadio: “I think Labour voters will find it difficult to vote Labour.

“They will find it very difficult, those that voted Leave and feel strongly that we should be leaving and that Labour has reneged on its manifesto.

“So I think they will find it very hard to vote Labour.

“I said months ago when the Brexit Party was set up that both Labour and Conservative would be trounced at the European elections and I still see that.

“It is going to almost become another kind of referendum in a way.

“I think what we will see, those that feel strongly about leaving will not vote for either of the two main parties.

“We will end up in a situation where we are back to square one really but with a very strong Leave vote for the Brexit Party.

Due to the failures surrounding the Conservative Party’s handling of Brexit, voters across the country have been attempting to send a message to the party.

In local elections, some voters took to supporting the Lib Dems and other parties as protest votes resulting in both the Labour and Tory party suffering a loss of seats.

A similar outcome is expected with the European elections on May 23, with voters this time supporting the Brexit Party.
