Hobbes Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'll go voting tomorrow. Even though most people here in the UK see the EU as the evil empire and would be leaving the EU if given the chance, I am European and want to exercise my democratic right to make it work (better). As for who will I vote for...if the Pirate Party had fielded candidates here I would vote for them but they didn't. So I'll let you know tomorrow who got my vote but it won't be Labour or Tories that much is sure. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest marty Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 people in the uk will use the euro elections as an excuse to vent their anger/amusement at the highly amusing erm i mean embarrassing political situation that has emerged over recent weeks in respect of the expense claims of our political elite. alas there is little discussion about european politics or our role in europe. in fact, many english people probably don't even know who their mep is or even where europe is. these include the right wing facist idiots who are likely come out of the woodwork and seize the moment. this is a script that even monty python couldn't have written. so i appeal to all english people to exercise their democratic right and get out and vote for...erm.... the person with the smallest expenses claim.. that's democracy. innit?

I am German and have no dual citizenship (ist doch nicht erlaubt :wink: ). I can vote in local and EU elections here. For general elections though I'll have to do a postal ballot again this year for the Bundestag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason why there has been a scare with swine flu in Britain, it's because so many of our politicians have their snouts in the trough :roll: But MEPs seem to have the biggest expenses claims of all - there seems to be an inverse relationship between expenses and common sense. It's a bit like asking which set of lunatice runs the asylum. Maybe a certain Guido Fawkes had the right idea in 1605 :bomb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
