SOUTHAMPTON, England (Reuters) - Britain's Brexit Party is on course for a big win in the country's European Parliament elections, leader Nigel Farage said on Sunday ahead of the release of official results.

"The intelligence I get is that the Brexit party is doing pretty well... It looks like it's going to be a big win for the Brexit Party," Farage told reporters at the venue where vote tallies from across the south east region were being collated.
