EU elections

so i got my postal vote today and tehirs 12 fucking choices on it!
including some fundermental christian party type thing that scares me a bit, not as much as the ukip/bnp/variouse other new and exciting forms of rasism, but still!

in other news, whos voting?

im probably going to throw my lot in with the conservatives since iirc one of the guys standing for them is a prety cool guy whos good and stuff (he was the only name out of any of the candidates that i recognised), going to do some research to day. I realy hate voting for a party instead of a candidate but I feel a vote needs to be passed just to be -1 to the bnp

what date do we vote again? rubbish if i'm in oz but i do intend to vote. probably green but i need to research it more.

bob don't just vote for someone cause they're the only candidate you recognise, have a look at the others too!

and yeah that christian party was a bit wierd - no chance in hell of winning

(does that phrase become invalid when referring to them? )

its the 4th that we vote on, i get postal votes because it reminds me to vote, and yeah my point was im going to research it, but if i cant find anything il vote for him beacause i trust him to do a good job and fuck voting for a party, what polocies do the green party actualy have? I always dismised them as a lol party due to the local candidate beeing a tool.

I'll be voting Conservative. There is a lot of strange choices that I've never heard of.

I don't think I will vote, as I find every polititian hard to belive, and they all seem to have the same interests. Saying that I'd say the only party that would stick to their policys and ideologys is the green party, who i would like to vote for, but as a driver of a car it puts me off voting for them, maybe i'd feel like a hypocryte.

That's not actually a good idea, this is a closed voting system, you can't vote for a candidate for the eu, only for a party. The guy you vote for may be 4th in line for a seat. not much chance of that one.

i'll be voting green, as you know, i couldn't give two shits for the environment (bring on the hot weather) but they are very liberal and have a lot of policies I would agree on, very democratic. They want proportional representation, a written constitution and a separation of church and government.

Although I label the below as propaganda (it is made by the greens), it does make a lot of sense and i've ran this by Mr. Potkins (local expert on politics), he agrees that it's most likely the way it will play out. It also quickly runs by how the election system works if anyone is confused.

Thank you!

I wouldn't trust a guy with a scouse accent.

then rep me, tell me i'm good! PRAISE ME?!!

How do these star things work anyway. And why do Lee and I only have 2 out of 5?

Post count, innit.

Those stars are rated on post count Your cool-o-meter is the repping thing yo

Sheffield = smart.

I take it the mods get 5 stars automatically? Sounds a bit totallitarian to me.

Yeah, mods get 5, we are the mods, we are the mods. Bob gets 5 because he bought me a drink.

Democracy in action.

Shitty electoral system not letting me vote.

I found some website a while ago where you answer questions and it matches you with the party your answers are closest to. Can't find it again though
