EU Elections

Seeing as they are coming up soon I thought it might be interesting to see who is voting for who and why ?
You all know who will be getting my vote , what about the rest of you .

I don't know who you're voting for... do tell

I voted for ukip as i like to see Nigel farage kicking some euro booty. I wouldn't vote for ukip in the general election mind. Heard some very dubious policies

Nigel Farage couldn't kick his way out of a wet paper bag.

I'm curious why you'd vote for him this time but not at a General Election

I don't think I agree with some of ukip's policies as a whole, and wouldn't trust them to run the country, but giving them a few protest votes in Europe doesn't seem such a bad thing to me.


I would point out I think all parties and politicians are much of a muchness, to run a whole country and keep everyone happy is impossible for anyone. I don't know much about politics and don't particularly care either.

Want my taxes low, a good NHS, look after the services and no silly wars and I'm happy enough

Really?!! The party that had 90% income tax when I was growing up and also took our boys/girls into Iraq on a lie about WOMD

War in Iraq/ WOMD was my reason for voting conservative last time around after being a staunch labour voter.

Other thing for me to consider is I'm a low wage earner, but rest of my family aren't so probably best for me to vote to support the rest of my family.

Care to elaborate on the wet paper bag kicking

for sure...

a paper bag is not generally reckoned to be something not particularly robust

adding water to the substance of that bag is generally accepted as reducing the already limited tensile strength of said pulp based container

being unable to kick ones way out of such a structure in circumstances of its weakened state would be the province of someone particularly weak and clueless.

I was thinking more along the lines , why you think Nigel Farage can not kick his way out of the said subject and you still have not stated who you will vote for

Thinking about the English democrats as i like the idea of an ENGLISH parliament as every other fupper has their own! I wonder if they will rebuild Hadrians wall? 

Just don't know much about any of their other policies (if they have any). Once voted labour will never do again, have voted Tory a number of times, they are almost the same today, all slimy middle class twats that went to the same schools and have never had a proper job.  

Once voted for the Monster Raving Loony Party having met the great Screaming Lord Sutch while on duty outside the Palace of Westminster, right nice fella, and had some sensible things to say, but was a bit smelly bless him!  

Only political party I have ever voted for that got the job done they said they would was the Valley Party in the Greenwich Council elections back in the early 1990's, they got Charlton back to the valley and then disbanded, like most other political parties should!!!

I'm a member of the Labour Party so my vote won't be going anywhere else!

I'll be voting Labour, best of a bad bunch. Could never vote for UKIP as they are opposed to free speech and that is something important to me.

As a football supporter I would never read that rag. No, I'm referring to stuff which has been widely reported (can't post links for 7 days since joining but just google - Police ask blogger to remove tweet about UKIP)

I think you will find the Police said you are not breaking any laws and there is nothing we can do to you but we have to ask you to remove it just to clear it off our books .

Yeah, not particularly blaming the police though it seems silly they couldn't just tell UKIP to stop wasting their time if no law has been broken. UKIP wanting someone saying non threatening, negative things about them to be arrested though sets a very worrying precedence about what they think of free speech.

Out of interest G, are you voting in Sweden or do you still have a UK vote?

I am registered to vote in the Finnish list.  I am voting for an Åland candidate on the basis that Åland should have it's own representative as a separate, autonomous region of Finland.

Probably vote Labour in the UK.  As far as I see it UKIP are disaffected tories.

Yep thats the one , a non story just like most of the tricks the Lib/Lab/Con get up to because they see UKIP as a threat and they will stoop to anything to find smear on us , yes I,m a payed up UKIP member and as I said the other parties are scared because the Westminster bubble is about to burst

I got a letter from the UK about six weeks ago asking if I will be voting over here or in the UK , I know I cant vote back home so I will be voting for the party that is against the EU over here SD might be a bit too right , bit like Liebor  , still got a week over here on the mainland so will weigh it up in the week .
 Looks like its me and you Alfie with a possible two more that I can think of   

A couple of people who have moved  over here tell me they can still vote in the UK.  I've never heard anything. They must have been glad to see the back of me!
 
 Better not tell them I'm planning a return!

If you have been gone for more than five years you lose the right to vote back home dude

I voted Green in the Euro Elections, voted for her last time and she's been doing a good job.

Voted for the Socialist Union Allayance in the local elections.
