Sadly I don't have a vote and won't for at least another 3 years....

Or I would be voting UKIP.

I'm being bombarded by Conservatives and UKIP right now. Vote for change in Europe says Cameron!. Really? Now I actually know which parties he's aligned with in the EU, who has the majority in the parliament and what power voting conservative would bring to marginal votes. That is 0%.

I also know that the Lib Dems would rather stay, with their begging bowl, at the forum of the other 27...

Labour, of course, just wants to tell everyone what to do, right or wrong. That is Sooooooo much easier if you have a big brother to blame. I mean, we need the protection and largesse of the big brother on the world stage so we have to put up with all his crap.

Anyone who does not vote UKIP does not have a clue how the Eurozone works or what it is doing right now. Well apart from people like Frank who think it's a good idea AND thinks the UK can make a positive contribution if they would only try. I, on the other hand, having lived and worked here so long, think it's a good idea but that nobody will ever change it into anything other than a neo socialist state which thinks it knows exactly what is right for everyone. Which is why the constitution was 460 pages long, rather than 15, or 26.

Cameron is an idiot on this subject. The only way he can change the EU is to Leave and show the rest of the wavering countries in the EU that if they had the Chutzpah to do so things could be so much better.

This is why Farage is being branded as a racists when he clearly is not.

Anyone who believes the branding that is being attempted is gullible to the nth degree. What British people do not understand is that along with Sweden and Denmark, Britain is the one of the LEAST racist countries in the EU. Germany, France, ESPECIALLY Belgium, they're all massively MORE racist and protectionist than the UK.

It is why we don't belong and why we should be voting not to belong.

But people are entitled to believe what they like. However I really did mean what I said before. Opinion without knowledge is nothing more than dogma.

Voted UKIP, Kate, so that's at least two of us. 8-)

In the doghouse with Mrs O, though, for drawing devil's horns on a photo of Cameron on the last election leaflet we got, and for constantly referring to Cleggy when he comes on the telly as a Gibbering Lemoncrat ...... :mrgreen:

It is persisting it down here, so I have not been out yet, but when I do....

It will be UKIP in the Euro election simply to give the LibLabCons a good kicking, they deserve it and that is why I will do it.

When it comes to the Council elections I will vote Conservative, for the simple reason that they control the finances way better than focus-group led and profligate Labour. The LibDems do not have much of a presence in this ward so they are not really an option.

I have voted for UKIP in both council and euro elections.
Voting for the mainstream just ensures that nothing will ever change, imo.

We should see when the polls close EU wide on Sunday. Or will they release the results on Monday? I've never really bothered to find out.

Interesting to note that the EU elections were relegated to well "after the break" on the main 18:00 BBC 1 news today, and were only given a brief mention at around 18:20.

A classic example of the Biased Broadcasting Corporation "burying bad news" of a potential Ukip triumph?
