EU Elections

Seems so...an e-mail has just gone around the village reminding everyone the village hall is booked for it? Seems like the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing....what a waste of money!

Oh God!

Good job we’re here for the childcare

This doesn’t bode well for the elections of any sort for the Tories.
Apparently it’s all Blair’s fault for educating the young!

I should like to make a plea for people to vote in the EU elections so that the number of UKIP MEPs can be reduced.
IMO Farage and his ilk have behaved appallingly in the EU Parliament and if he was to be re-elected it would support the opinion of the rest of the world that we are no longer the country that they once looked up to.

Many people believe that EU laws are imposed upon us but this is not true since we have had an equal share in making decisions. There are rules and regs in place in almost every club or society that we belong to. We may not like them all and we may try to change them but we do it in a civilized fashion.

Farage has called for the EU elections to be boycotted. That should sort out the kippers ????.

I echo that Dinahmo and should like to make a plea that as many possible should vote for the Liberal Democrats - the party of Remain.

If you don't think the LibDems will win a seat, chose either the Greens, TIGs, SNP or PC, but remember that this is an election using PR so if you are in a region with 5 MEPs a party with >20% of the vote should get in.

For Remainers, I do not think there is any point art all in voting for the Labour Party or the Conservative Party as any vote for either of these parties at the 2017 GE was interpreted as a vote for brexit.

It seems to me that this will inevitably become a Remain/leave election.

A remain Tory MEP

Julie Girling is an MEP, but not now a Tory MEP as she was expelled from the party she had supported all her life for her pro-Remain views. Utterly shocking how the Tory party has become "bluekip".

Thank you for that information varian

Helps when we come to vote.

If you are in Northern Ireland and want to Remain in the EU, please vote for the Alliance Party, the non-sectarian party of Remian.

When are the WTO elections, please?

People understand now that this sort of message brings nothing but harm to our country.

We know that we are better than this, and our standards are so much higher than the message this charlatan is trying to convey.

Those calling the charlatans out are being crowdfunded. If you love their work, you might like to support them financially

The first poll. No surprise really.

This is not good news for Farage who is trying to launch a new political party.

I happened to hear a bit of Farage's speech to a roomful of unquestioning fans. It seemed quite bizarre that he tried to steal the slogan of one of the most effective pro-remain campaign groups - ledbydonkeys!

I have donated to the brexit party. Woo hoo, time for change, we, the majority, will not be stamped on, no longer

Donating to the brexit party?-Mr Putin would be proud of you.

I'd hold onto your cash crafty when/if brexit hits you'll need every penny you can get .

Did you check out the brexit party's website before you voted crafty?

If you are an EU citizen resident in the U.K. you can register to vote in the elections for the European Parliament.

I think people need to think very carefully about how they vote in the EU elections, should these happen.

IMO, it's really worrying that so many Leavers are gleefully planning to vote for UKIP candidates or the nearest equivalent.

Why do I think this is worrying?

Because our EU representatives are meant to represent our interests in the EU.
How can they possibly do that if their only motivation is to get us out.
Presumably, they intend to cause maximum disruption, which will be good for no one!

What's more, if for whatever reason we end up staying in the EU, we will effectively have no proper representation there, as I can't see those people continuing to play a constructive role in a union that they hate and wish to destroy.

Equally worrying is that so many ordinary people apparently don't intend to vote at all in these or any other elections in the near future, on the grounds that they 'have had enough of it all'.

That attitude is only going to make it easier for 'extremists' (of any persuasion)to get elected, almost by default, which is definitely not good for the country as a whole

Surely it's more important than ever to vote in any upcoming elections right now, even if it will take more thought than usual to choose a suitable candidate?
