    For a wee bit of fun only, shall we have a bit of a guess at how we think the UK's EU election results will turn out? There is no prize of course (well, I have a reputation to uphold!), other than the winner having that wee glow that comes with being the winner......

    I'll kick off:

    Conservatives - 5%
    Labour - 8%
    Lib Dems - 12%
    Greens - 7%
    Brexit Party - 37%
    Change Party - 2%
    Others - 29%

            Results:
            Conservatives 9.1%
            Labour 14.1%
            Lib Dems 20.3%
            Greens - 12.1%
            Brexit Party - 31.6%
            Change - 3.4%
            Others - 9.4%

            Total differences 47%

            Total differences 29.2%

            Total differences 33.6%

            Total differences 52.6%


            I therefore declare myself to be the winner, but in the true spirit of post election analysis, invite the other participants to devise alternative methods proving that they were the winners.

              I think your calculations are spot on @Scrungee, but as you say we should perhaps put it back to the people, although would that fly in the face of convention.......... would it be numberist to do so?
