THE interests of Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Immingham residents are now predominantly represented in Europe by Brexit MEPs members following last Thursday's poll.
Our area is part of the Yorkshire and Humber region which elected three Brexit Party candidates - John Longworth, Lucy Harris and Jake Pugh - and re-elected Labour incumbent Richard Corbett.
The Liberal Democrats came third (after Brexit and Labour) in the region, meaning that Shaffaq Mohammed wins a seat for them, while the fourth-placed Green Party candidate, Magid Magid also wins a seat.
However, there was gloom for Mike Hookem (UKIP), John Proctor (Con) and Amjad Bashir (Con, formerly UKIP) who were all unsuccessful in their re-election bids.
Within North East Lincolnshire, the turnout was 28.65 per cent.
Polling was as follows:
Change UK: 871
Conservative and Unionist Party: 3,224
English Democrats: 445
Green Party: 2,370
Labour Party: 3,444
Liberal Democrats: 2,916
The Brexit Party: 16,895
The Yorkshire Party: 168
UK Independence Party (UKIP): 2,234
Region-wide, the polling (on a 33.3 per cent turnout) was as follows:
