Will all those right wing MEPs from all countries who have been elected soon change their tune when they get their,turn to stick their snouts in the European trough?

It's inevitable, already been done with UKIP for years. That's why the expenses - sorry I mean allowances - are so easy to claim, turns people "native".

That's PR for you. Interesting that as far as the European elections are concerned, Swindon is in the same constituency as Gibraltar. |

I've started voting green. Don't particularly want to live in a world made of concrete with no life other than man, rats and flies. |

UKIP take a seat in Scotland. Didn't see that coming. Salmond had been gearing up to use these results to tell everyone that Scotland was fundamentally different to the rest of the UK, and to use it as an argument for independence. Not so sure of that position now. Just as he's been urging closer co-operation with Europe, the rest of the world seems to be turning away from it. Bit of a mistake, I think.

I'm not massively bothered about the environmental stuff, but their views on introducing a living wage, protecting the NHS, sensibly providing welfare and education, and general support of the "Common Good" appeal to me. |

It's good to hear their policies are appealing to 'normal' voters and not just tree huggers like me.  |

Presumably they have a cunning plan to burn newspapers for money and make us live in caves to pay for all of this stuff. |

Tell me about it. Their answer to eradicating the Pine Processionary moth (a recent invader from the continent) is to spray the forests and eradicate every bug in the vicinity. |

No surprise really, typical watermelons. Green on the outside and red on the inside. Clive Lord, a member of the Green Party, published A Citizen's Income, a book that sets out how to fund the Citizen's Income with an increase to the top bracket of Income Tax. |
