Farage's #BrexitParty to top EU elections in Britain - poll
Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party will top next month’s election in Britain for the European parliament with 27% of the vote, far ahead of Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservatives, according to a survey published last week, writes Costas Pitas.
The Brexit Party is five percentage points ahead of Labour’s 22% percent, followed by the Conservatives on 15% and then the Green Party on 10%, the YouGov survey for The Evening Standard newspaper showed.
Britain had been due to leave the European Union on 29 March but that has been postponed until as late as end-October as parliament has thrice rejected May’s negotiated deal and failed to come up with an alternative which would command a majority.
Voters across the 28-member European Union are due to go to the polls between 23-26 May.
YouGov surveyed 1,855 adults across Britain on 15-16 April. The results exclude those who said they would not vote, don’t know or refused to respond.
In the last such elections in 2014, the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), at the time led by Farage, came first in Britain.
