an election where your vote counts

[zero000]

I saw this lovely advert the other day from an MEP who defected from UKIP to the "We Demand A Referendum Now Party":

"We're full" seems to remind me of something....

Yep that's it

Utter c**ts the lot of them. It's depressing that mainstream politics has so little to offer that people turn to these knuckle draggers.

I wasn't going to vote, but the thought of UKIP having any semblance of power is frightening.

I wasn't going to vote, but the thought of UKIP having any semblance of power is frightening.

It's precisely for that reason I started this thread.

It's the potential non-voters who can stop the rise of UKIP, and while I have a lot of sympathy for the idea that voting is a waste of time that only encourages politicians to be politicians, I feel this is a time that action against a particular type of politician is the more important thing to do.

Oh dear...

Campaign to make UKIP look more racist launched by Labour & Tories...

No campaign is needed to make them look more racist. They're just racist.

Some people are too stupid to realise tho, and they'll be too stupid to be wised up. That's what you get from the stupid.

So... Farridge has bottled standing in w*nker Newark, supposedly because he has no connection to the area.

But he does, an excellent connection.

The bye election has been caused by a tory having to resign over cash for questions, and UKIP has a very very strong connection to tories who have to resign over cash for questions ... they have one as their own deputy chairman.

Yep, UKIP are different to the other parties.

Great site.

Interestingly Green are top out of the 377,000 people that have taken this test.

I got 50/50 spilt between Green and Lib Dems. I voted Labour at the last general election.

66% Greens and the rest split between UKIP, Lib Dems and Labour for me!

Interestingly I agree with UKIP on Democracy but the Greens on Europe

[kaosmark2]

I agreed with UKIP on democracy. Greens on Education, Health and Welfare.

Edit: Just discovered you can select all policies, I'll go again in a bit.

This is what I got: http://vfp.me/5362ECE062AAB

60% Green party, 40% Lib dems.

Only did 5 policies though as I didn't realize you could do all of them!

[kaosmark2]

I did it again with all of the policies. 78% Green, then agreed with Lib Dems on Europe and UKIP on democracy.

[eFestivals]

even the people who'll vote UKIP don't agree with UKIP.

That's what's so feckin' moronic.

[LJS]

As only about 30% turn out to vote in euro elections - the easy way to beat UKIP is to get off your Effing arses & vote!

Easy.

Then you will have no shit in your beds.

Having just had a wonderful holiday in Portugal and then returned to host two French couples for the weekend as part of our village's 20 year long twinning with Sautron (a small community not far from Nantes) I have experienced nothing but a warm and friendly welcome in Europe.

Some of the most deprived areas of South Wales where I live have also also benefited hugely from European Funding. So I have a pretty warm glow when I think about Europe and our fellow Europeans.

I first fell in love with France when I went on a school exchange fifty years ago and still believe that the pathway to understanding is friendship, respect and tolerance.

We'll get nowhere as little Englanders or little Britains.

The French seem to get a lot of stick in Britain, but I've never met an unfriendly French person.

[russycarps]

France is brilliant. Superior to the UK in just about any aspect you can think of.

You don't think racism is an issue in France?

[kaosmark2]

Though my experience suggests that's largely the opinion of London from Britain's who aren't Londoner's...?

[TheGayTent]

Sadly, racism is an issue pretty much everywhere.

[Buff124]

Not too keen on the tap water either. That's an issue for me pretty much everywhere. I'm too used to Loch Katrine.

The UKIP surge in the UK is even making the news in Ireland on national TV.

Makes for uneasy viewing, especially when they vox pop UKIP voters...........yikes!

Is the Farage myth starting to unravel?
