European Elections : who are you voting for?

[dang65]

So, am I right in thinking that a lot of people are planning to protest against the disgusting treachery and stupidity of our thieving MPs by voting for parties whose main policy is to hand back all power from Europe to, uh, our treacherous and thieving MPs?

I still can't decide who to vote for - We've had very little literature through the post although I did get some bumph from the Conservative Party with my name on, which I was surprised about - I have never voted conservative in my life - very odd.

Have a look at all the leaflets and then vote for the one with the prettiest colours.

That´s right, and there are three general variants to this;
- anti Europe, plant lots of trees and hug baby seals party (Green)
- anti Europe, blame Brussels for everything party (UKIP)
- anti Europe, blame the darkies party (BNP)

Same deal all over Europe.

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.

Why would they do that. they already know how the electorate feel about Europe, that's why the British can never be trusted with any referendum on Europe: it would become a proxy for a general condemnation of the EU.

As I thought; “£8,865 for a Bang & Olufsen Beovision 40in LCD television”

40 bloody inches. Imagine that. There you are, watching the news and on comes Mr Brown. Without any warning there’s Gordon’s face, 3 foot wide and leering at you through the wall of your own front room. Even a lifesized Kate Silverton can’t make amends for that.

40" is rather on the small size

Would you prefer an 80 inch wide Gordon in your front room?

Are any of the parties putting Britain first ?

UKIP or Libertas

I have changed my mind about voting for UKIP. I really wanted to vote against the status quo (Tory pretending to stand up to EU, Labour/Libs slavishly following the EU and its diktats).
I fully endorse the concepts of free trade and open competion and the free flow of labour (I dont mind which nationality I make my fees from ) accross EU countries. UKIP dont want this. I dont buy their attitude towards expenses either.
So for me it is Libertas. Looking at their candidates they seem to be largely business people, no lefties, tree huggers or bible bashers and only one of them has a beard.
Their website isnt working. Either because they are deemed a genuine threat and it has been sabotaged or they dont have two pennies to rub together to pay for it.
