Oh that old one... Don't say that nasty stuff it's 'project fear' - I don't like iiiiiiit!....Let's put aside the bit of fun they had with the data on Peston.If you're sure that the norm of GE voting results bearing no resemblance to a Euro vote is something that won't happen nesxt time, and that the Euro vote wasn't largely a protest vote in what was a smaller turn out than in a general election then carry on with your optimism.For your info, the Euro election turn out was only 2% more than 2014 (35.6%) and 1.5% less than 2004 (38.54%), so not as if Brexit supporters came forward in hoards.A the last general election turnout was nearly double the Euro election at 68.7%. Preceding elections 66%, 65%, 62% so even then no drastic change.And given the fact that (sorry to state what you plainly know) people vote entirely differently in a GE. Mainly along party lines, yes, but also depending on the local MP. For example, here in Putney Justine Greening is largely well respected. When it comes to my normal voting intention I'm going to be sorely challenged as to which way to go. The first time I may have to break with a lifetime's habit. My vote in the Euro election was purely along party lines. No clue as to who the candidates were.Then again, an election is a long way off and anything can happen in the meantime, including an incarcerated Boris and the knock on of a challenge to the validity of the result of the referendum due to a legally proven and importantly influentia lie being told to the public.Let's wait and see shall we?
