Euro Elections: Who are you most likely to vote for?

I believe in national independence, so I'd consider voting for UKIP if I thought they were a serious party, as opposed to a silly bunch of infighters who can't be bothered to stump up the fee for a gentleman's club, or else have been blackballed from anywhere worth joining. Presumably the jokes about women cleaning out refrigerators didn't go down too well at the Reform.
So it'll be another spoiled ballot. Third in a row.
My message: either "abstain" or "none of the above", or simply left blank.

Won't be voting. I've only ever voted once, and that was for a bet.

Greens arent neccessarily for pulling out, but envisage a radically reformed Europe. Certainly no party should give up any more sovereignty to such a suspect organisation as the EU.
It's a shame that only UKIP and nazis are for pulling out really. But in truth at least UKIP are up front. They also could prevent nazis getting enough to win seats in PR. For that I for one would be in their debt.

I'll be voting for Plaid, even if I wasn't a supporter i'd still want to back Jill Evans MEP who is Wales' best MEP, ticks all the right boxes, is good on Gaza and is opposed to the St Athan privatised military academy.

Green. Unlike the left parties a european network of green parties can make a difference on their policy area and chucking in a green vote is potentially a way of getting the main parties to take up their policies.
Not sure if i can vote atm tho.

Sad innit...
Lib Dem all the way, the only party that is actively campaigning FOR individual rights rather than some authoritarian nightmare.
Green for me. I voted for the Green chap back in '05 GE in Brighton and he did really well (although didn't get into parliament obviously). Hopefully they can get an MEP this time though.
I wonder if Norwich might be the city to achieve this as they seem to have a good foothold there and a fair few councillors.

Already one in the South East (Caroline Lucas wose standing in Brighton Pavillion next GE) possibility of getting a second in the form of Cllr Keith Taylor (The Green chap you voted for in 2005 (unless you live in Kemptown) and leader of the Green group on B&H city council)
There's also Jean Lambert in London, who could loose her seat due to there being one less seat in London this time around. In East Anglia, Rupert Read could pick up a seat on a (pheasable IMO) vote of around 8-10% and Peter Cranie running in the North East needs to overtake the BNP to keep Griffin out and hopefully get the last seat
very exiting time to be involved with the Green Party, representation could double on a good day or halve on a bad or even average one

Not true. And didnt they back SOCPA?
Peter Cranie is running in the North West against Griffin, joevsimp.
Most important places to vote Green are where the BNP are likely to make headway (e.g. NW) as under the voting system used for the Euro election the best way for left of centre voters to prevent the fascists electing a candidate is to vote for the most successful of the left of Labour parties.

Why must there always be a negative to your postive Zachor? Why not just say tory because i'm a tory.
yep, i've always found the tories to be a very trustworthy bunch
Best of a very bad lot at the moment. Which is more an indication of how shit the others are.

Yawn. More bollocks from Fedayn. Why am I not surprised. Are you bored? Are there not any Hamas supporters for you to fellate around at the moment?

No, given i'm neither a fan of Hamas, nor Fatah for that matter what is your point? Care to tell us?
Or is it that, yet again, you sink into your cretinous and stupid binary opposition rant don't you scab? Haven't you got some child killers to cheerlead somewhere?

I'd vote Green. But sadly, cannot figure out how the hell to get a vote from abroad not having been on the electoral roll for a decade. The Govt websites have been no help unfortunately. So, I'll be be joining the disenfranchised majority once again.
