Those we elect in the UK may never take their seats - and, in Ireland, an additional vote was held to reduce the time to get divorced.
Populist, euroscepticical and far right parties are expected to do well - like the Brexit Party here.

Seems the Greens did very well and the Left still dominates Europe.
But even then only 50% turnout.
What'ts wrong with people ? I so love Australia's compulsorary voting which over the decades has created an atmosphere where 95% of voters turn out as the fine for not is minimal, it works.
Has there ever been a time when a party (Brexit) votes for it's own extinction ??
If I were forced to vote, I would still spoil my voting paper - no one is worth voting at the moment. |

Turnout averaged 51% in the EU - the highest in 20 years.
Only 37% in the UK.
Germany had the highest percentage at 62%.
