Lib Dems are closer on 21%. Looks like they'll come 2nd. Brexit are on 31% as I write this.

Re: Brexit
Change UK also lost the Lib Dems a seat in the North East (if you assume those votes would have gone there)

Would be interesting to do an analysis of the final figures and see how much better the Brexit party figures would be if UKIP had disbanded or not stood. An extra 3/4% might have made a big difference in the number of seats won.

That happens all the time when a new Government is elected. Doubt adding the Ukip votes to the Brexit Party votes will have an effect as the former seems to have been wiped out.

Brexit Party will definitely win. Question is if the Lib Dems will stay ahead of Labour. Greens doing very well too.

Indeed, at least the LibDems have decided on where they will stand and fight. That’s they’re dong well.

Despite winning London, and I appreciate you only gave it as a what-if scenario, the Liberal Democrats came third in Uxbridge but were ahead of the Conservatives:
The Brexit Party 19,123
Labour Party 16,788
Liberal Democrats 12,372
Conservative and Unionist Party 8,812
Green Party 5,949

Farewell, no-deal Brexit.

Boris Johnson and Dominic Raab have been warned that Tory MPs would be prepared to bring down any prime minister backing a no-deal Brexit, triggering a general election, amid fears the leadership hopefuls will veer to the right in response to a surge in support for Nigel Farage at the European election.

Re: Brexit
I think the result is sort of known now.
Brexit Party have come from nowhere to storm these elections.
Liberal Democrats are probably coming a comfortable second and won London, including Corbyn's own constituency.
Greens have done very well too.
Labour and Tory have had a very bad night. Maybe even worse than expected.
SNP and Plaid Cymru have done well too.
If you want No Deal you can say Brexit trounced the other parties.
If you want Remain you can say that the revoke/referendum parties won more voters than the No Deal parties. (but this might change as the voters come in).
If you want a compromise then good luck.
Best thing is UKIP got 3%. Turns out people don't like edgy YouTubers and embracing the far-right. Brexit voters didn't like that and went elsewhere instead. That's good.

Re: Brexit
Time for Vince Cable to change his party’s name so that it actually describes what it stands for. I would suggest Liberal AntiDemocrats since it is putting forward the notion that the democratic will of the people should be ignored.

Re: Brexit
BREAKING: The Brexit Party is the biggest single party in the European Parliament. Bigger even than the German CDU.
