ladyram Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Ppl are scared to come out of Europe, it'd make things more expensive re import & export. So Labour. Ppl want a referendum on staying in Europe, seeing as though Brown signed us up without asking, so will go Conservative. Ppl want more controlled immigration, as like it or not, it's beginning to cause problems, so will go Ukip. I see them getting a strong foothold before todays out.

alexxxxx Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Green party today. Legitimately the only party which will have any sort of power in the EP seeing as all the other parties do not seem to care about co-operation with anybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Almost but not quite. ED's want to adopt a more controlled immigrant numbers set up like Australia do. I reckon they went about it in the right way, using a points based system, one which is sensible and fair. It seems to work for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossieram Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I have voted and have voted UKIP in Euro and local elections. This country needs a big kick up the arris, Along with the 3 tried and failed parties who have become complacent and pretty much do as they please because they know sooner or later they will get another crack of the whip.

Duracell Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Want to vote Green but tempted to vote Conservative if it means derailing UKIP. I did see UKIP as a party that's missed the point or was maybe a bit loopy, but after this, I've become downright disturbed. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-27459923 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Can't be arsed to vote. It's raining and nowt will change on my vote. If I did vote I'd have voted conservative i think they've turned things around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRam Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I was in two minds - took my daughter for her first vote - she'd been on them bloody quizes on her phone all day. She said she wasn't listening to anything I said - she was making her own mind up. I'd already told her that I used to have my mum in the next cubicle, whispering the name of the candidate for me - then asking 'is it a tick or a cross' Anyway, standing there in the booth - hand hovering over a certain party (not the one I usually vote for) and there was this horrendous clap of thunder - I had to smile - and yes mum - I did.

alexxxxx Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 voted green in locals and eu. they're pretty awful economy wise but like some of their other policies (environmental, health, transport and education). UKIP are far too right wing and loony in many, many areas. Labour, Conservative and Libdems just don't give a toss about anything at the moment. Voting UKIP in the EU election is worse than not voting imo. They turn up to Brussels and Strasbourg, grab their euros for the day and piss off without having any debate. You can't leave the EU by voting UKIP in the EU elections anyway so you might as well vote for someone who'll do something in the parliament.

Day Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 UKIP is gaining council seats across England at the expense of both the Conservatives and Labour. The anti-EU party is on course to show that last year's breakthrough in town halls was not a one-off. Labour is struggling to make progress and the Tory vote, which has been hit most by UKIP, is falling back. The Lib Dems' vote share has been hit hardest but most results in 161 English councils are still to come. Euro election results are due on Sunday. Some 11 councils in Northern Ireland are also up for grabs. AT 04:20 BST, Labour has gained 39 seats, the Conservatives had lost 75, UKIP had gained 73 and the Lib Dems had lost 43 Several Tory councils in the south have gone to no overall control following UKIP gains Most councils will not declare their results until later on Friday Essex has voted strongly for UKIP - and the party has also increased its share of the vote in the north But indications are it is faring worse in London So far turnout is up on average by 1% compared with 2012 You can follow full coverage with all the latest updates at bbc.co.uk/vote2014. There are election specials on BBC One and on BBC Radio 4 and Radio 5live later. The surge in support for UKIP has sent shockwaves through the main parties at Westminster, with just a year to go before the next general election. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27531094 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Have i missed an election? Can't say that i take any notice of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 What happens to the areas which are now in 'no overall control'? It was inevitable that Ukip were going to walk this and the main parties have only themselves to blame. I hear Farage getting slammed because he wants to sell off the NHS, but that's exactly what Cameron is doing now, only he's doing it by stealth. The main parties have got their work cut out to win voters back, they have 12 months to change their policies because they don't have a choice now.
