  1. Greetings Styx Actually the brexit party doesn't need a manifesto for the eu elections. It's pointless. MEPs have no sway over domestic legislation and no national legislative programme. The election "manifesto" of the tories is basically "vote for us, we won't be MEPs for long, or even at all. We are the party of Brexit." Brexit is developing policies for a potential GE in autumn... No point in publicising national policies in advance of a General Election and give all your plans away to the opponents and media. Better to keep counsel.

  2. Incidentally, many of the people voting in the upcoming EU elections are E27 citizens who are entitled to vote in the UK because they are eu members. So that will skew the EU elections in the UK towards remain supporting parties quite substantially. (there are over 4 million eu27 citizens in the UK, and perhaps 50% will vote, maybe less. Let's say 1 million. That's quite a chunk that will support remain parties on the whole, who CANNOT vote in national elections).
