Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, center left, speaks to the media at an event to mark the gains his party made in the European Elections, in London, Monday, May 27, 2019. At second right is Brexit Party MEP and former Conservative lawmaker Anne Widdecombe. On the pro-EU side, the Liberal Democrats took 20% of the vote and 16 seats — a dramatic increase from the single seat in won in the last EU election in 2014. The opposition Labour Party came third with 14.1%, followed by the pro-European environmentalist Greens , who captured nearly 12.1%. Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has long resisted a new referendum, but Labour economy spokesman John McDonnell suggested that might change.
