B@Y LIFE COVERAGE:
THE GREAT BREXIT ELECTION 2017
Fascinating to see the first few votes on the Bay Life straw poll. Of course polls get things badly wrong at least that is what the evidence shows recently in this country and you have to question if such a small sampling can tell us anything. Nonetheless not a single local person yet has indicated that they will vote UKIP in the Great Brexit General Election of 2017. Given the surge of interest in the party in the last two years in Pevensey Bay, this is something of a surprise—Bay Life, 24 April 2017
Is there is a pattern emerging, possibly with the very first few votes in our tiny straw poll?
The most interesting tiny snippet is that no one yet has indicated that they will vote for UKIP.
Much too early perhaps to suggest that UKIP will be wiped out as a force in the Bexhill and Battle constituency, but nonetheless the absence of a single person indicating that they intend to vote UKIP is the hint of something interesting.
In an area that has seen UKIP emergs as some kind of force at local county council, and parish level, of course the real first test of the situation will be in the votes cast in the County Council elections on May 8.
If UKIP as a force is to disappear in East Sussex, that would indicate a sea change of some description locally.
We will see in both the country council elections and of course in the Great Brexit General Election of 2017 on June 8 whether what we are witnessing locally is the end of UKIP.
The votes so far on our tiny straw poll suggest that this is how the local electorate will vote.
The results of our tiny straw poll will be published weekly to June 8, the date of the Great Brexit General Election of 2017.
Results so far in first two days of our poll.
