Unfortunately, I'd say there is probably a good chance of them getting a seat. According to some rough calculations last time round they were only 25k votes short in the West Midlands (1.4m total votes) and 35k votes short in the North West (2.1m total votes). Though both of those regions are losing a seat this time round which will make it harder for them. For tactical anti-BNP voting, its any of the big 3 and UKIP. You can't get any more tactical than that due to the way they allocate the seats through proportional representation.

On the plus side, there is a good chance Labour will come 4th. Which will be as funny as fuck, no matter which party you support / vote for. I wonder what bollocks Brown will come up with to explain it and to turn it in to a victory for Labour and a mandate for change.

I can see Labour getting a drubbing tomorrow.

I'll be voting for the English Democrats.

Jokes aside, I'm reading through each party's policies and manifestos now:

• BNP - No.
• Christian Party - May as well give control back to the Church, no thanks.
• Tories - I'm not going to support Cameron's spin and popularity contest.
• English Democrats - Spent 5 minutes thinking of four policies and 5 minutes to write about them on the website so far as I can tell. The population density stats are completely inaccurate also.
• Fair Pay To Fair Trade - Single World Currency?...Errrmmm
• Jury Team - Cop out for people who can't decide. Probably the people who will abstain in a referendum.
• Lib Dems - Website has crashed worse than the economy, I can't get on it
• No2EU - Empty seat policy = lazy wankers
• Pensioners Party - Seems the oldies can only think about themselves.
• Libertas - Vote for us, we want to piss the money up the wall and not big bad Brussels
• Socialist Labour Party - What do you get when you cross a trade union with Jim Royle? A credible political party, my arse!
• Green Party - Think creating 1m green jobs will sort out the 3m unemployed?
• Labour Party - Leader is an unpopular, fat Scottish version of Davey C. Usually I like an underdog, but this isn't fucking Braveheart
• UKIP - Will the Euro be able to influence whether we stay in the EU? It will come down to the party in power of the UK. Wasted vote
• Wai D Your Decision - The candidates of the movement, if elected as MEPs, will undertake at their own expense the creation of an internet site where citizens will have the chance to express, at any moment, during the entire legislative process, their own opinions Basically a bigger version of the TEF political debates and Talk Talk chaos theories i.e. bollocks
• Katie Olivia Hopkins - Couldn't even win The Apprentice, how the fuck you gonna win this love?

So I've concluded they're all a bit shit and I can't decide. Looks like Jury Team after all

My previous post has more content than their manifesto.

Whilst I'm all in favour of democracy, they really need to do something about all the morons that stand in elections. Maybe increasing the deposit substantially so they don't waste everyone's time. Bunch of wankers.

Don't care. The 4 policies on their website are good enough to earn my vote on this occasion. It's a Euro election and therefore i'm not too bothered about their policies on the economy, NHS etc.

i still aint sure who i will vote.have to disagree about wasted votes si.you vote who you think best.no matter who that is.

[mexico red]

I voted green in the end, the green party have an MEP in the south east and the BNP is challenging them for the last seat so every vote counts down here.

[Luci]

Ill probably go UKIP to be honest.

That confirmed my choice which is UKIP/ Tory/ Libertas In that order.  I will vote UKIP.

I don't think a vote for UKIP is a wasted vote because they won't get elected. Of course that post was only my opinion but UKIP simply want to pull out of the EU. I just wonder what good they're going to have in influencing commission's proposals. Being very UK specific is only going to lead to isolation and carry no clout because other member states will possibly get pissed off with the discent shown towards the EU. I suppose the message it sends is really the only reason to vote for them.

I personally think if you vote for the likes of UKIP then you'll have to follow that vote up in the next domestic election in order for it to have any meaningful context because that's the only way to push through such policies.

I think I will vote for Lib Dem.

good points si.
