They are not keen enough on Brexit if they vote Conservative, since they know full well that many Conservative party members are remainers. If they were keen Brexiteers they'd vote for the Brexit party in the European Parliament election.
.
some may vote conservative because they cannot bear to vote for any other party. Doesn't necessarily make them remainers. A lot of Labour voters will have the same dilemma

If the constituents in Broxtowe voted Conservative, they would be voting for Anna Soubry who wants to scrap Brexit in its entity. So in that case, a Conservative vote would be a vote to remain. If you were a devout leaver, you would vote for Nigel Farage.
And if you were a devout remainer you would vote Libdem. like Michael Heseltine says he will.

Or alternatively one of the leave voters who either paid no attention to the claims of not having to leave the single market or customs union by the champions of Vote Leave, or who have the memory capability of the average hamster and allowed themselves to be conned into thinking a WTO Brexit was what they voted for.

Quite remarkable when you factor in that they are blissfully unaware what that will cost us and that we will be the only nation on Earth so handicapped by such a stupid decision, which one of the Brexit party candidates has volunteered them to suffer for a 30 years sentence.

Seriously we should think on one of my earlier remarks where I theorised that Putin had developed a Weapon Of Mass Stupidity and used it . First against America, hence Trump, and then against us.
It worked at the time of the referendum and now by the look of it he has deployed a second one
How else can you explain so many people being conned yet again?

Because people come out with figures like "30 years" this makes any other statements seem false

Yes I googled it. some countries don't vote till the weekend.
The exit polls should be pretty interesting.
What happens in other countries is irrelevant in the context of Brexit. Most other countries are selecting candidates in the expectation that they will work diligently in the new EU parliament for the interests of their constituents. In addition other countries will have other polls on the same day. In my case,local government elections...which are strongly party political and a constitutional amendment regarding amending conditions for Divorce,which is likely to be non political and will be broadly welcomed.
In the case of my EU candidates, I have made up my mind, but not necessarily the order ,as with PR it is possible to augment results,by good tactics.

Of course and I wouldn't deny it. But in doing so they all deprive the Brexit party of votes and so help the Remain supporting parties.

Apparently this Milk Shake thing is contagious
"
Milkshakes have also be thrown at Tommy Robinson and Ukip candidate Carl Benjamin in recent days.

Mr Benjamin, a far-right activist, has had four milkshakes thrown at him in the space of a week.

Last week, police apparently ordered a McDonald’s outlet near a Brexit Party campaign rally in Edinburgh to stop selling milkshakes and ice cream, the restaurant’s staff have said.

Next someone will go nuclear
Brexit party Election campaigns will bring new levels of sophistication to the genre

As you know I’m no fan of Farage or Tony Robinson, but I really dislike these types of assaults which are almost exclusively carried out by left wing scum. It’s rare that you will find Farage’s or Robinson’s followers resorting to assault on public figures in order to try and silence them.

Closing down free speech is definitely a left wing trait. They use s variety of methods ranging from physical assault to accusations of racism in order to try and stop people talking about things they disagree with. It’s a vile and dangerous path and it’s one which you should be condemning.
