EU elections

did anyone see the party broadcast before question time this eve? by the jury party? they are new news to me but sounded interesting - i dont get how it works, an umbrella party holding individual standing members?

available here for those interested

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/search/?q=jury%20team

in fact, they're all available

election tomorrow - dont forget to vote!! *coughGREENcough*

They sent my polling card to the wrong address! FOOLS!

looked at green party, their health policy was a bit of a joke, I know all the eu mps do is try and grab as much benefits for the uk as possible using eu money (imagine the uk is a normal mp's second home for them) but don’t really want to vote for a party that doesn’t have a coherent policy on such an important area, went the Irish thieves in the end.

i'm not voting for anyone but i am going to vote, just spoiling the ballot paper by crossng through the whole thing. apparently they take them as votes of no confidence in any party so it sounds good to me. if people don't vote they think they just don't care who runs the country, so voding yoru bit of paper sends across a stronger message

tbh if your not voting for their rivals who ever does get in wont care that you put a line through their name. imho go to the bbc page, clicky, briefly read what the partys plan to do in europe, vote for the one that sounds least retarded just to make Shur the bnp get fuck all.

Just got out of bed. Straight to work until late. No time to vote. Fuck the cunts anyway.

wow, you're so edgy.

I don't think I'd vote for the Green party. I'd want the other policies to have more focus. Protecting the environment is nice and all but I don't want to put it in front of healthcare and shit like that.

read what I said earlier

They want proportional representation, a written constitution and a separation of church and government.

Dunno about not caring about the environment. The population per sq. km over here is rising quite a lot and rising sea levels is only gonna make that worse.

But yeah now I think about it a bit more the whole liberalism / constitution thing I like. Although don't we already have separation of church and state (or would it make any practical difference if it was written into law)?

we don't have a separation. there are unelected representatives of the church in our government.
In the 21st Century it does seem pretty stupid, we should only have elected officials as far as I see it

Oh right. That kinda sucks doesn't it.
Is anyone saying they're going to get rid of the House of Lords (they don't get elected do they?) as well?

their definataly not saying theyl get rid of the house of lords during the eu/council election and I doubt any one will vote to remove them any way as its a nice place for them to retire to after they get voted out for beeing douches

reps for bob, this is exactly why there hasnt been any push for fraud charges on anyone found fiddling the books. labour and torey are each as bad as the other and they both benefit from keeping schtum

Do these manic loons get paid a salary or anything from taxpayer's money?

they aren't paid but they do get the same allowances on expenses as MPs

Vote SNP.
Make Scotland independent.
Brings us closer to an anarchist state.

Or spoil your paper just don't vote BNP, Tory, UKIP or that christian shite.

If anything I want Scotland to be less independent, i'm sick of having to say 'IT'S LEGAL TENDER' when i pick up some of your monopoly money.

stoop handed over scottish money to a taxi driver when he was down and the guy had a look on his face like he'd just been handed his sons eyeballs

I think you'll find pal, that's legal tender!
