Farage predicted a "big win" Sunday for his Brexit Party in European Parliament electionsLONDON - Anti-EU populist Nigel Farage's Brexit Party looked set to triumph Sunday and the ruling Conservatives endure a historic blow in European Parliament elections in which Britain was never meant to vote. Vince Cable's pro-EU Liberal Democrats surged to 20 percent from 6.7 percent in 2014 and were ahead of the 16.5 percent of the main opposition party Labour Party of socialist Jeremy Corbyn. - Hard Brexit line -The European election offered an outlet for Britons to vent their frustration with their two big parties. "A vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote for an international, outward-looking Britain," Cable told his final election rally last week. "A vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote to stop Brexit."
