The Brexit Party could be on course for a major victory in the European elections according to a North Wales Live poll.

And it's not good news for the Conservatives whose support appears to have collapsed after the UK failed to leave the European Union on March 29 this year.

North Wales Live asked readers who they will vote for in the European elections.

The results indicated huge support for Nigel Farage’s recently launched Brexit Party.

It had a big lead with 1,700 votes (45%), almost half of those who took part.

Second was Liberal Democrats with 649 votes (17%); Another new party Change UK - formed from Labour and Conservative MPs who left their parties, was in third place on 307 votes (8); fourth was Plaid Cymru on 278 votes (7%); Labour was just behind in fifth on 275 votes (7%); sixth place was UKIP on 183 votes (5%); and languishing in seventh was the beleaguered Conservatives on just 43 votes (1%).

There were also 191 who said they would vote for another party (5%), 91 who said they would not vote (2%) and 70 who were undecided (2%).

In total 3,787 people had taken part in our poll as of 10am today (April 23).

Who will you vote for in the European Elections? North Wales Live poll

Responding to the poll, one participant John Kennedy said: “I don’t care who the candidate is I will be voting for the Brexit Party.”

The UK may have to take part in the European Parliament elections on May 23 after failing to Brexit.

EU leaders have granted Theresa May an extension until October 31 to leave.

But if she fails to get a deal through Parliament to Brexit before next month’s elections - Britain will have to field candidates in the European elections, despite the UK voting to leave in 2016.

Attempts to get the Prime Minister’s deal through have failed three times so far and there still hasn’t been a breakthrough following negotiations with Labour to find a way forward.

There was further pressure on the Prime Minister today, with Welsh Tory MP Nigel Evans calling for Theresa May to step down.

The joint executive secretary of the 1922 Committee told the BBC Today programme the Conservatives need a new leader and the process “can't start soon enough”.

Mr Evans said: “To be honest I would be delighted if she announced today she was announcing her resignation and we could then have an orderly election to choose a new leader of the Conservative Party.

“I believe the only way we’re going to break this impasse properly is if we have fresh leadership of the Conservative Party.

Tories are worried the failure to Brexit has damaged support for the party and fear a humiliating result in the Euro elections.

If the North Wales Live poll is an indication of voters’ intentions, the Conservatives could be in for a terrible night.
