European Elections

[UKIP]

The European Elections are due to be held on the 4th June 2009. Campaigning has already started and has been dogged by the expenses row which has engulfed the three main partys, Conservative, Labour and the Liberal Democracts. Here is a poll to see who you, if you could or even if you can, are going to or would vote.

Below are the main parties in the running and what they stand for on the European Union issue.



The Conservative Party wish to re-negociate the United Kingdoms membership of the European Union, bringing back lost sovereignty to the British Parliament from Brussels.


The Labour Party wish to carry on as usual in Europe, favouring more intergration into the Union and support the Libson Treaty.


The Liberal Democrats support a continuation of intergration into the European Union.


The United Kingdom Independance Party support complete withdrawal from the European Union along with more independance for local government and closer commonwealth ties.


The Green Party have no specific stance on Europe but appear to support closer work with the European Union on the subject of climate change.


The British National Party support the complete withdrawal from the European Union to regain lost sovereignty in areas such as immigration.


The latest opinion polls show a surge in the vote for UKIP along with a very small rise in support for the Green Party and BNP. The three main partys are down in the vote but the Conservatives still hold a large lead.

Conservatives 28%
Labour 19%
Liberal Democrat 19%
UKIP 19%
Green Party 6%
BNP 3%

So in conclusion, who would get your vote and why?

UKIP because I don't know much about politics and I don't wanna be in the EU:eusa_danc

Wouldn't like to say, it's between UKIP and Conservatives for me.

What are the differences between European Elections and General Elections? I always thought the General Elections would involve both :S

Na European is for the European Parliament, a section of the European Union.

I think these Local and European elections could point to where the general election next year is headed. I'm not voting for any of them, in the forum POLL of course, since I hate having a stance in politics. If I had to go for one though, it'd be the Conservatives. They make plans and promises, we don't know if they'd keep them up. But if they did, then I can see Britain making not only itself a better place: but possibly helping the world a lot lot more.
