I don't normally vote in elections (live in one of the safest Tory seats in the country so we only get token Labour and Liberal work experience candidates anyway). I'll be voting in these though. That nasty piece of sh1t Nick Griffin fancies his chances in the North West with his neanderthal mob. Hopefully, most of his supporters won't be able to spell 'X'.Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment

None of them. After MPs expenses, I am not wasting my time sanctioning the European gravy train.
Oh yes, and every time I have written to a European MEP, I have never received a reply, so why should I give them the time of day.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

"It varies from country to country, but all 27 use some form of proportional representation. Many countries just have one nationwide constituency. Some have a threshold (say 5%) which a party has to pass before it qualifies for a share of the seats. "
Its quite ironic(?) to be voting for UK independance in a European election though.
And you really think that any of the mainstream parties have any interest in changing the way that the EU is run?
If enough people voted for UKIP in the European elections then the mainstream parties may take note of the way the electorate feel about Europe. Voting for a mainstream party is voting to maintain the status quo.Comment

I'm definitly voting these year..I'm liking the Green candidate...but I might have to vote LibDem to ensure the BNP don't in. 'Course just over the rise are a bunch of half-wits who believe anything the BNP write.
In the last council elections the BNP candiate came a close second here. This shows the level of intelligence and apathy around here.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
