Has everybody voted?

With which party would university be free?

Well, that is your personal opinion. My point is that you may not have a party who you agree with totally, but you must have a party who you agree with more than all the others. I think you should vote for that party rather than use the excuse that you are 'dissilusioned with the political situation.'

but what i mean is that for example i may be vehemently anti europe and want total withdraw, that leaves me with the further right parties who may have right wing policies on race etc which i may disagree with. to balance policies when im highly polarised on one issue is difficult, which you can see is happening at the moment with the anti-war stance

I personally do not see the point in an anti-war protest vote, the war is over and nothing can change it now.

Yeah, I think we should wait around for the next time we decide to declare an unprovoked war on another country, practiacally launching it into civil war. And then after thats happened, we should just tell ourselves 'nothing can change it now'. And then wait around again for the next time we decide to declare an unprovoked war on another country, and then tell ourselves 'nothing can change it now'. And then again, and again, and again..........cretin.

yes i agree, but are you voting for a one trick pony?, which is my opinion on the UKIP in particular.

you voted RESPECT didnt you? would you be happy with a total and immediate withdraw of UK forces? leading to more unstable areas?

I take your point but what is it that you propose we do? Do we all vote for the respect party, who campaign solely on Iraq and then when they get into government, Britain pulls out of Iraq? I understand your anoyance, but what is the ultimate purpose of a protest vote? I think the government and the nation have learnt their lesson from Iraq, what do you think that a few people voting for the respect party is going to achieve?

Which entirely ignores the point that Europe has about as much influence in Iraq as my cat making casting a protest vote in favor of an anti-war MEP on this one single issue about as useful as a suck in blow football.........buffoon!

For someone who is supposedly poltically savvy, you're showing yourself to be very naive. The people voting in these elections are not thinking about whether that party in Europe is best for them! No-one cares how useful these MEP's will be once in Brussells, people are more bothered about the publicity it will give each party, or the pressures it will create on the Government back here! Do you think everyone who voted for Prolife are really voting for Prolife on the basis that they will do some good in the EU - which in all honesty still has very little real power, or at least the MEPs still have very little real power. This is about publicity and creating a platform for more publicity in the run up for next years General Election, or any other major catastrophe the government runs into between now and then.

European Union? What European Union?

Yes. Stupid post really. Wasn't thinking. Bad brain day. It happens man!

Wow, a retraction from Howard! Someones been on the magic juice methinks. Either that or your getting soft in your old age.

Can anyone tell me what kind of a reputation the English Democrat policy have (if any!?)? I voted for them purely because some of their policies were quite close to my political beliefs, otherwise I know nothing about them.

If not, get down to the polling station now, it is your democratic duty!

It would be sensible of me to go onto their website and see their actual policies, but it'd be easier for me to simply call you a racist...(JOKE)

So they've got a rep for being quite fascist then?

On immigration they said they favoured the Canadian points system. I was looking for a more firm (yet fair) approach than Labour to immigration, but perhaps not as extreme as it seems I have voted....their website hides it well.
