we can argue about to what extent the snp's vote isa remain about to what extent the snp's vote is aside can claim on the basis of results that voters have sent a clear signal it should be one thing 01’ clear signal it should be one thing or another. the signal the voters have sent is many of them are sufficiently polarised as to which choice they prefer that the two as it were extreme options of leaving without a deal and having a second referendum, as the polls are suggesting, two most popular options and option about which people feel strongly and people may switch to a smaller party. how worried should the conservative party be? not if it would vote as thursday but we also know from the opinion polls that may be 15—17% currently word. maybe that number would come down a bit. accept that brexit is not going off the agenda any time soon and this made a european election which gets remembered by voters more, i don't think the conservatives can afford 18%, because because they have the conservative party behind the labour party with no prospect of being able to perform another admini

now the snp wants another vote.any result of a second referendum? when politicians like you blatantly disregard the referendum result that you do not lie? it is not about disregarding the referendum result, i accept the result in scotland in 2014 out of the referendum in 2016. but there is a big difference in those two referenda. when we went to the people in scotland, there was a long campaign. 650 page white paper which spelt out in detail what would happen. what in essence we had with the brexit referendum was a slogan ona the brexit referendum was a slogan on a side of a bus. nobody really knew what the outcome was going to be, add my real concern, nothing to do with whether people voted leave or remain, is in every formulation of brexit, when you look at the uk treasury report, brexit will cost jobs, and that a responsibility, all of us, to be honest with the voters as to what brexit is going to do. it is right, given the circumstances, that we go back to the people and say this is what will happen with brexit,

in scotland the snp won three seats. cymru have won one seat after beating labour. counting in northern ireland meanwhile is still under way. let's get some reaction from the party leaders, earlier brexit party leader, nigel farage, spoke to reporters — accompanied by his newly elected meps. if we will have to brexit process to the conservatives and labour party, we would never ever have got a brexit that was resembling anything like the referendum. this clearly will put pressure on them, pressure on the conservative leadership contest. the question is, are they going to respond to this pressure or will those parties go on being coalitions, coalitions of leavers and remainers. if they do and stay indecisive and if we don't leave on the 31st of october, then i think we can produce a result in the next general election that will stun them. the liberal democrats were one of the winners in the uk's well, earlier, ispoke to the leader of the liberal democrats, sir vince cable. i was pleasantly surprised. it was fairly clear,

the party she leads, the snp, would like to see two referendums.t the strengthening your case for independence for scotland ? the strengthening your case for independence for scotland? people who support independence will want to vote snp to express that view, but my message to the other people is if you don‘t want to see scottish continually ignored and our interests disregarded and cast aside, and if you want to see scotla nd aside, and if you want to see scotland and the whole of the uk stay within the european union, vote snp. her argument that westminster politicians have ignored scotland‘s interests for too long is not new, but she says this vote is a golden opportunity to send a strong and unequivocal message that scotland is not in favour of brexit. is this likely to whet the appetite of scottish voters? i want to vote for something like remain i can vote for green, kind of labour may be, i don‘t know. green, kind of labour may be, i don't know. i would like the snp need to win the day on that and for scotland to stay within europe.|j alway

can i ask you about the remainers, the lib dems, chains uk, the snp and others.sted to see that the ce ntre—left interested to see that the centre—left and had come together in a coalition to pursue interests in this election. is there a possibility we might see some type of coalition forming against brexit? that is the big question now being asked. i was presenting a bbc radio special on the results last night. what was striking was that every single guest on that remain side of the argument was basically indulging ina bit the argument was basically indulging in a bit of broadcasting arithmetic, they were adding up relative shares of the votes of parties that i seem to be advocates of another referendum or remain, trying to make an argument that if you add those, thatis an argument that if you add those, that is bigger than the brexit party. you can have that argument forever because then you have to say whether conservatives labour into either of those camps, but the question i was putting is the one you have just put to me question i was putting is the one you

who want a further referendum, whatever happens, like the greens and the liberal democrats and the snp arguing we should stop brexit and have a people's vote on the deal, and keep the benefits we have for our economy and public services and for opportunities forfuture generations. but urged others to opt, above all, for any pro—remain party. if we tumble out of eu with a no—deal brexit of the sort farage and boris johnson want, you are going to get a silent revolution in this country as well. there are going to be people who are going to feel so strongly about this and i say this to both parties, they will sweep them away. the battle lines are being drawn but it is an unusual picture. these european elections are unlike anything we've seen before. jessica parker, bbc news. and with the campaign for the european parliament elections under way we're going to be speaking to all the main uk parties here on the bbc news channel over the next few weeks. and we want you to send us your questions... on tuesday at 5.30 we'll have nigel farage of the brexit party, then the next day at the same t

the snp had a bounce in the european election. they had a very pro—europe message.led the referendum for scotla nd is called the referendum for scotland bill, which sets out the legal framework for any and all the referendums on matters and within scotland‘s control. a referendum on scottish independence is not within the scottish government or the scottish parliament‘s control at the moment. they would need what is called a section 30 order to be granted by westminster for that to happen. scotland‘s first minister nicola sturgeon, says it would be a democratic outrage if a section 30 order wasn‘t granted. if and when we reach the bridge of the westminster government and the scottish government not being able to agree, i'll set out my intentions then. but there is a point of principle here, it is legitimate for the westminster government and anybody else for that matter to oppose independence. it would be a democratic outrage, particularly given the mandate i have as first minister, for a westminster government to seek to stand in the way of the people of scotland h

and what about the pressure on nicola sturgeon and the snp? was a view in the aftermath of the eu referendum, the brexit result in 2016, that that could be a springboard for a second independent vote, but it has looked more of a tight rope than a springboard. 45% of people still want independence but there are a significant number of people who voted for independence in 2014 who then voted to leave the eu in 2016.50 holding in 2014 who then voted to leave the eu in 2016. so holding that coalition together is complicated. we still have two big constitutional questions in scotland, independence from the uk or not, leave the uk —— eu or not? and they are cutting across each other in complicated ways and that is leading to the situation that we have at the moment. this seems to be the case across the uk! we look at the labour party and the scottish conservatives, ruth davidson has been out campaigning, own —— unlike theresa may. ruth davidson believes that the party should be out there making the case. absolutely, ruth davidson's success in recent
