The “Pro-Brexit” bar, accounting for 34.9% of the vote, represented the combined vote for the Brexit Party and Ukip, while the “Anti-Brexit” bar, at 40.4%, represented the combined vote for the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, the SNP, Plaid Cymru and Change UK, with the Conservative and Labour votes shown separately.  In the ECU’s judgement, the heading’s reference to “pro- and anti-Brexit parties” was somewhat misleading in a context where parties identified as “pro” were those in favour of a no-deal Brexit and varying proportions of the Conservative and Labour votes would have come from supporters of other forms of Brexit, and not enough context was given to guard against the inference that those in favour of Brexit had been outvoted by those opposed to it.
