Tories hit by worst poll result 'in 16 years' as supporters flock to Nigel Farage's Brexit Party
The Conservatives have slumped to one of their lowest-ever poll results as supporters appeared to be switching their allegiance to Nigel Farage's new Brexit Party.
A fresh survey of Westminster voting intention by pollster ComRes put the Tories on just 23% support, a full 10 points behind Labour and just nine points ahead of the week-old Eurosceptic outfit.
The poll - commissioned by the Brexit Express pressure group - is the first Westminster study to include the Brexit Party launched last week by former Ukip leader Mr Farage. In a boost for Jeremy Corbyn, a third (33%) of voters said they intended to back Labour at the next election - while the Brexit Party registered 17% support.
ComRes chief executive Andrew Hawkins told the Daily Telegraph: "This is the lowest Tory support I can remember in 16 years in this job.
“For months now polls have been showing a build-up of anger and frustration among voters, and while Ukip are now seen as being beyond the pale, the Brexit Party has made a protest vote acceptable again - it is offering voters an opportunity to scratch the itch of Brexit.”
The study shows that only 53% of 2017 Conservative voters say they would vote for the Tories again in the next general election.
Almost a quarter (24%) of 2017 Tory voters said they would instead shift to the Brexit party in the next national vote.
The figures also make grim reading for the Tories ahead of planned European Parliament elections, which are slated to take place on 23 May if Theresa May cannot convince MPs to pass a Brexit deal.
A third of voters (33%) said they would vote for Labour at the European polls.
On 18% support, the Tories are just one point clear of the Brexit Party, backed by 17% of voters
ComRes interviewed 1,061 GB adults online on 16 April 2019 for its survey.
The study comes hard on the heels of a separate YouGov poll for The Times which revealed that 23% of voters intend to back the Brexit Party if the European elections take place.
In that study, Labour racked up 22% support while the Tories lagged behind on 17%.
Brexit REBELLION: Left-wingers follow Galloway to back Nigel Farage's surging Brexit Party
THE Labour EU elections list is so remain heavy left-wing Brexiteers are throwing their lot in with Nigel Farage, including George Galloway. The May 23 European Parliamentary election are already throwing up some strange bedfellows and none more stranger than the firebrand former Labour and Respect MP and the Brexit Party. Mr Galloway took to Twitter to explain his position after seeing the Labour list of candidates for the EU elections. He said: “Given the nature of Labour’s Euro-fanatic candidates list and the crucial juncture we have reached in the fight for the full implementation of the #Brexit referendum result and for one-time only I will be supporting Nigel Farage in next months elections "The Labour 5th Column has utterly destroyed the party’s prospects in the Euro-Elections. We must hope they haven’t done so in real Elections.”
An opinion poll yesterday revealed the new Brexit Party has shot into the lead despite only being launched last week.
The Brexit Party is on 27 percent ahead of Labour on 22 percent and the Conservatives on 15 percent Mr Galloway said: “The election on May 23 is about ONE thing only. #Brexit The broken Tory Party and the Labour 5th columnists who have tried to abort the referendum result must be stopped in their tracks. That’s all.”
Fellow left-wing Brexiteers also promised to vote for their former political enemy Nigel Farage.
Simon Middleton said: "I totally agree with you Mr Galloway. Next month's elections are about Brexit, pure and simple.
“I am from a Socialist background and I will be voting for Nigel Farage aand the new Brexit Party "
Labour announced its current crop of MEPs have been given preferential treatment when it comes to who will contest the European elections.
As it stands 16 of the 20 Labour MEPs will be standing again for the party on May 23.
Good Morning all It seems this thread is purely for the purpose of advertising a political party, it seems there’s no debate., am I correct in my assumption?
Nothing preventing you from debating ...just won't be happening with me ...so knock yourself out . I would also point out there are 18 categories on this forum , each with multiple posts , I'm sure If you really wanted a debate you could probably find one in amongst that lot somewhere.
Ok no worries, Just surprised you don’t debate on a thread you started, hope this forum isn’t being used to promote ONE party, I’m guessing that would be frowned upon ‘Upstairs’

The crass comment was posted in the petition thread . Remember now @HAYSIE .....funny how people have selective memory eh .
The exact quote from you was " I would like to shoot quite a few of them." With reference to politicians .
I merely said I did not post it on the Brexit thread which was completely true. When did you start debating?
Putting you straight and exposing you for the extremely crass individual you are isn't debating ...now off you go and play . Horrible creature ! By the way , just for clarity , that was me telling you exactly what I think of you .
This is the last time I am doing this. The petition thread was about the fastest growing petition ever, which also ended up the biggest ever petition. The knockers of which you were one, seemed intent on criticism for many pathetic reasons. Like some signatures were not valid, as if any online petition would not include some invalid signatures. Then the 77 year old retired lecturer that started it, didn't live in the UK, which was a lie. Going on to, her Facebook account was not hacked, when neither of us know whether or not this is true. Other criticisms were, murder comments about Brexit voters, The Queen, Idi Amin, and Nigel Farage signed it. I Would not expect leave voters to want to sabotage it. Large batches of the petition signers were from remain strongholds, which was posted as a criticism, but only to be expected.
This petition dwarfed the no deal Brexit one that was running at the same time. This put many noses out of joint.
Despite the fact that you could not prove that her Facebook account had not been hacked, you were adamant that it hadn't. You posted a threat of holding a metaphorical gun to their heads, this post was a Blue Peter one from Madgie.
I would urge you to look up the word metaphorical in the dictionary, as it is key to this.
It was a metaphorical gun.
My flippant response was to say that I would like to shoot quite a few of them. Also with a metaphorical gun.
The petition starter had previously discussed the purchase of paintball guns, and balloons containing chilli powder. She is probably a threat to National Security as far as you were concerned.
I have never, and will never be plotting to shoot any MPs. My response to your nonsense was flippant, and anyone that was not a moron would have taken it as such.
I had an interest in how the petition was doing, but absolutely no interest in the woman that started it, her metaphorical guns, paintball weapons, chilli balloons, death threats, Facebook account, or any hacking.

I think this Tread is going very nicely I haven't been ignored yet.! Roll on polling Day.
Democracy at work ...the sun is shining , at last we have some balance to counteract the remain side , trolls are pretty much unfed , Farage and the brexit party according to the polls are ahead ..........apart from unbelievably the slight sun burn I got from the earlier walk ....all is well in the world .

Farage’s Brexit Party opens up lead in European elections
Nigel Farage’s new Brexit Party has opened up a five-point lead in the next month’s elections to the European Parliament, according to a new opinion poll.
A YouGov poll, commissioned by the People’s Vote campaign, puts the Brexit Party on 27%, ahead of Labour on 22% with the Conservatives trailing on 15%.
The findings – which are weighted by likelihood to vote – represent a surge in support for the new party since a YouGov poll for The Times last week put them on 15% – almost level-pegging with the Tories on 16%, with Labour leading on 24%.
It follows the burst of publicity the Brexit Party received with the launch last week of its election campaign, when it was announced that Annunziata Rees-Mogg – the sister of the leading Tory Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg – would be among its candidates
Theresa May is likely to face calls to quit if the Tories are beaten by the Brexit Party (Rebecca Brown/PA) It will reinforce fears among ministers that the Conservatives are heading for a crushing defeat if the poll on May 23 goes ahead as planned – a result which would almost certainly see fresh calls for Theresa May to quit.
The Prime Minister has said she is determined to get a Brexit deal through Parliament before that date, which would mean voting would be cancelled.
However, that not only means winning a “meaningful vote” on a deal – which has already been rejected three times by the Commons – but also then passing a bill formally ratifying the agreement in law.
Much is likely to depend on whether cross-party talks with Labour can agree a common way forward – with the two sides expected to take stock of progress when MPs return to Westminster after the Easter recess.
The latest YouGov poll suggests that some of the increase in support for the Brexit Party comes from Ukip voters switching to the new party, with Ukip down from 14% last week to 7%.
Among the pro-Remain parties, the Greens came top with 10%, followed by the Liberal Democrats on 9%, Change UK on 6% and the SNP/Plaid Cymru on 4%.
