European Elections 2009



On June 4th, European Union States will go to vote on their representatives in the European Parliament in Strasbourg. These are the representatives of the people of Europe in the EU. Seats are handed out proportionately to the amount of votes for that particular party, ie, no vote is wasted.

The labour party are becoming more and more unpopular in the UK at this moment in time and are predicted to lose shares of the vote by many analyists. This unpopularity lies within the 'faults' of the last few years such as widespread opposition to the wars in the middle-east, MPs expenses, incurrance of billions of pounds worth of debt and a long list of others.



The conservatives are growing in popularity in the UK because of many 'swing-voters' changing because they are becoming dissilusioned and isolated from the Labour Party. They are expected to win the next general election and are expected to make some gains upon the labour party in the EU elections. They have grown in popularity since David Cameron has taken charge and tried to change the views of the conservatives to include more of the ordinary men and women on the street rather than the cliché upper-middle and upper-class population. The tories however have been hit, along with labour and libdems with accusations of misusing the expenses system.


The third most popular party in the UK are the libdems. They are strongly opposed to the DNA databases, ID Cards and other measures being used to chip away our civil rights. The Lib Dems are very pro-EU. Some of their MPs have been caught up in the latest expenses scandle.


The UK Independance party (known as UKIP) are against the EU and would like to see britain pull out of the common market and political union. It believes the money we spend in joining the union outways the benefits and would like to see us pull out of the EU. UKIP have been elected before for some seats. They are non-racist and non-facsist, but have been seen in an unpopular light when Robert Kilroy Silk, who was elected, has taken the parliamentary wage, but rarely ever went to the parliament in Strasbourg. He was on 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!' whilst the european parliament was in session.


The British National Party are a party who were formed by some members of the facsist/racist National Front, with some of the same principals carried through. They are against the EU and their ultimate aim would be to remove immigrants by paying them large sums of money to leave, and their children from the UK. Only white people can join the BNP and they claim that anyone who isn't white a 'racial-foreigner' even if they are british and are born in the UK. Some people have likened them to the Nazis and Nick Griffin denies the holocaust. They are liked by some because they are strong on immigration (legal and illegal), local communities and British Jobs for British Workers.


The Green Party (or the Greens) focus their main attention to environmental issues such as climate change though do have policies (generally quite left-wing) about social issues and aim to create jobs through environmental investment.


Libertas are a pro-EU party, but who would like to see the current system changed completely to a more democratic system. Libertas are also a pan-EU party with people standing for seats in different countries. They oppose the Lisbon Treaty and oppose many ways in which the EU work.


There are many independant people standing for election in these elections too, these are just seen as some of the more popular parties.

Who would you like to see elected to the EU Parliament? and if you are eligible, who are you voting for?

Please stay on topic if possible.

that picture is missing romania and bulgaria . these eu elections are going to be a taster of next years general election i think.

[UKIP]

Oh wow, when I made my thread I didn't even know this thread existed, they are both nearly the same in looks and layout aswell, i'm scared.

On the European Union i'm for United Kingdom Independance Party, secondly Conservative and thirdly BNP although I don't agree with the socialist policies of the BNP, I think having them in the parliament along with UKIP and the Conservatives will perhaps defend us more.

The parliament is just a cover anyway, the European Courts and Commission are the ones who hold the real power and can overrule a national government if they wish. That isn't democracy thats a dictatorship.

The only difference between the former SU and the EU are that the SU managed to form a political union faster under force, whereas the EU are doing it via the backdoor where ministers like the Labour minister for the EU hadn't even read the treaty herself yet her party has the cheek to tell us, the people of the United Kingdom that we aren't educated enough on the EU and Lisbon Treaty.

even the logo of the BNP makes me feel sick

[UKIP]

even the logo of the BNP makes me feel sick

What is wrong with being patriotic?
I don't agree with all their policies but they have a lot of it right, EU, crime and some parts of its immigration policy.

[clueless]

there is a difference between being patriotic and being racist. they might have a few right policies but they are far from the full package

[UKIP]

Saying no to immigration is not racist, some aspects of the party may be racist or considered extreme but if you ask people on the streets its what most agree with.

[clueless]

saying only white people can join the bnp is racist lol.

The BNP are probably the worst people you could ever want in power.

They deny the holocaust, they want to use our tax money to pay our own citizens to move to other countries because of their skin colour. They deny that black or asians or mixed racial people can ever be British.

So many things I hate about the BNP. They just spread hate throughout the country. Nick Griffin even said that he felt sorry for mixed race people because they are 'a direct product of multiculturalism.'

And I won't count as british in this country cause my Grandad is foreign...

I'd have to disagree that many people like their ideas.

Saying no to immigration is not racist, some aspects of the party may be racist or considered extreme but if you ask people on the streets its what most agree with.

That's wrong, if you were give them a detailed analysis of exactly what policies the BNP wanted to implement and what they stood for I doubt they would have very much support whatsoever. I have no idea how you managed to find that the majority of people agree with BNP ideas because they most certainly do not.
