Directed for The Observer , the Sunday version of the Guardian , this poll confirms the new party of Nigel Farage in the lead, but now at 34%, far ahead of the Labor Party with 21%. The pro-European Liberal Democrats are credited with 12%, even exceeding the Conservatives of Prime Minister Theresa May, who collect only 11%.

A fourth humiliating position and figures that reveal that Farage's training exceeds the two main Tory and Labor parties combined. Launched in April, the Brexit Party is the savior of the outcome of the 2016 referendum, able to complete the divorce and the exit of the EU .

Nigel Farage surfs the anger of the disappointed Brexit with great success thanks to an early mobilization and an extremely active campaign. In contrast, Labor has just launched its European campaign with a confusing message about Brexit. The Conservatives, they do not even intend to announce their entry into the race and remain bogged down in negotiations for now unproductive with Labor on a divorce agreement.

Theresa May's party is expecting the worst on May 23 after already calamitous results in local elections a few days ago. And the announced sinking of the party in the European ballot box is already the subject of intense negotiations among conservative authorities to precipitate the departure of their leader before the summer.
