Brexit Party. Lead candidate - YES- His Nigelness himself! Since we have 4 Kipper-and-related MEPs out of 10 now, plus Daniel Hannan, I fear this party will do fairly well. But a good turnout may reduce their power.
Change UK: Moderates, and those just fed up with their party leaders. Strongly Remain. Lead candidate Richard Ashworth. Was a Tory; surprisingly reasonable; got deselected for being comparatively reasonable and not a fanatical Europhobe like Hannan. But the risk is that they could split the Remain vote.
Conservatives. A bit varied, but mostly Leavers, plus of course being, well, Tories. Lead candidate Daniel Hannan, 'nuff said!
Green: Strongly Remain. We had one Green MEP, Keith Taylor, who is apparently not standing again. There is some, limited Green tradition here; for a while Caroline Lucas was our MEP, and the sadly late Mike Woodin also active. Lead candidate Alexandra Phillips. 7th on the list (so no chance of actually winning) is Larry Sanders, brother of Bernie.
Labour: We had one Labour MEP, who is standing again as lead candidate. John Howarth, who is quite good and a Remainer, but may suffer due to people being fed up with all the dithering about Brexit in the Labour Party.
LibDem: Strongly Remain. We currently have the only LibDem MEP, Catherine Bearder, who is standing again as lead candidate.
Socialist Party of Great Britain. Far left; no MEPs; lead candidate Mandy Bruce.
UK European Union Party (UKEUP). Single-issue Remain party - I must say that, despite being active in the Remain movement, I hadn't heard of them; I think they're quite new. Lead candidate Pacelli Ndikumana.
UKIP: Well, of course! Only advantage to them is that they may take votes from the Brexit Party. Lead candidate Piers Wauchope.
Then three Independent candidates:
Michael Turberville (apparently pro-Remain and left of centre) and David Victor Round and Jason Guy Spencer McMahon - I know nil about either of the latter two!
