Who Will You Vote For In The Euro's?

[butchersapron]

I wish to let all members of this prestigious bulletin board know that I take full responsibility for the incorrect use of apostrophe's, and I have immediately sacked the person responsible.

I can only apologies for this appaling and egregious failure of proper punctuation and i will reimburse the treasury accordingly.

may the voters decide, you devious swine.

 

[butchersapron]

Do you know Sinn Féin's stance on Europe?

Anti?

 

[N_igma]

Anti?

Yes.

 

[butchersapron]

So whoi are ye voting for dem den?

 

[Idris2002]

I never thought I'd say this, but maybe the Shinners. I thought of the independent liberal Marion Harkin, purely on the grounds that she was being attacked by Libertas, but then again she refused to sign a motion on reproductive rights.

Labour are also running, but they're as spineless today as they've ever been. So maybe it's SF, because they are not one of the parties of the counter-revolution. . .

Unfortunately, they are the party of killing innocent people.

You see my dilemma, I trust.

 

[skyscraper101]

I'm going to decide in the polling station.

I might even draw a box and write Natural Law Party and put an X in it.

They be the party of CR par excellence

 

[N_igma]

Because I don't agree with further political integration with Europe.

And I've always voted for them, tradition and what not.

Are they no neo-liberal shit?

 

[pk]

Voting Green here, because climate change is the biggest issue mankind faces in the next 30 years, and because I want to join in the humiliation of every Tory, Labour and Liberal Democrat MP scumbag there ever was.

Well what the hell else is there? A write-in vote for James Connolly's worm-eaten corpse?

Hunger strike to the death for vegetable rights and peace? What?

Who you voting for, then? Did I miss that?

Or is the voting process beneath you?

Get in an anti-eu vote -fair enough. That sounds about right.

 

[N_igma]

I'm not sure what you mean? (I know what neo-liberalism is just the way the sentence is constructed)

They're definitely the most left-wing political party in Northern Ireland that has any say in government here.

 

[trevhagl]

Despite my disappointment with them for not advocating nuclear, I'll be voting Green.

So they are NOT advocating nuclear? Looks like i may vote for em too, i had a sneaking suspicion they may have been pro nuclear

 

[harpo]

I originally said Green but I may be wavering towards No2EU now.

 

[Idris2002]

Libertas, you mean? I think I'll vote Labour No. 1, with a transfer to the Shinners.

 

[John Headstrong]

I don't really see the point of the Anti-EU parties running for the European Parliament, only the Westminster parliament can decide if the UK can leave, so whoever is elected to the European Parliament it will make no difference to the UK’s membership.

Are many parties even asking for a referendum on Europe ? why is the UK so down on referendums ? other countries have them often.

 

[Stigmata]

I'm confused- am I able to vote in more than one region? Because i've been given Southeast and East Midlands polling cards.

No, you can only vote in one region.

 

[Stigmata]

I assumed that was the case, cheers.

 

[HarrisonSlade]

Where is the "If I register to vote I might have to start paying Council Tax, so I am declining because I don't want to pay it" option?

 

[Fedayn]

Presumably it'll be the SSP. They'll be hoping that the Scottish working class are attracted to their central policy of hating Tommy Sheridan more than they were on the last occasion. When they managed to get less votes than the Greens, Solidarity, the BNP, the essentially defunct SLP and no less than two different Christian nutcase parties.

Well given John Wight has said he'd rather vote SSP than no2eu it doesn't seem to be stopping the most ardent of Sheridan fans.

 

[Rod Sleeves]

No, you can only vote in one region.

I would imagine you can vote in any region you are on the list for...

Certainly people who live in two parliamentary constituencies and are on the register in both (as they should be by law) can vote in both, many MPs with second homes are expected to vote in both...

You can't vote in both; you can vote in either. You only have one vote to elect each body.

In Westminster elections you can legally vote in any constituency you live in for six months or more a year (upto two of course). Or at least you could until recently, maybe it has changed in the last year or two. Anyway I imagine it is the same in the Euros as the general.

 

[Sootysoots]

I'm pretty amused by the fact that just 15% (tops) of U75ers are strictly speaking, "Anarchists".

 

[DaRealSpoon]

I will not be entertaining the 'shower of shit popularity contest' that is the british political system.


And since there is no 'Chinese Imperialist' candidate in my area, my mind is most definately made up! So ner

If you have more than one residence (such as people like students studying away from home), you can register in both areas. You are then entitled to vote in each area in local elections and in one only for European and Westminster elections (and presumably Scottish Parliament/Welsh Assembly/NI assembly/GLA/etc.). Thus, when I was at university, I was entitled to vote in local elections in both London and Coventry regardless of whether they happened at the same time, but only in one place or the other for the 2004 European elections and the 2005 General Election. AFAIK, you've only been allowed to vote once in a General Election since the Representation of the People Act of 1949.

Why amused? Anarchists have always been a pretty small grouping on this site.
