The Euro Election Day Megathread

[wixard]

ive just read that ukip supports irish people working in the uk so they now pose no threat for me thank god

did you guys get a message about taking selfies in the polling booths? we were told we could get arrested!!!!

[Kardan]

My polling booth had a big 'No tablets or mobile phones' poster on the front door.

and lol still no councils for UKIP even Lib Dems got a couple somehow

I am hearing uncomfirmed rumours that they've scored 40%+ in Liverpool wards which will stun me if that's true. Liverpool, along with Glasgow, are the two strongest Labour areas in the entire country.

glasgow and liverpool r in the same country?

I thought Ukip were supposed to cause a political earthquake? Their results are painfully similar to last years, hardly anything new.

Britain.

These are the tremors, wait until Sunday for the earthquake.

Besides, not all have been declared and we're already on more or less what we got in 2013. Ultimately we're not winning seats in bulk or councils yet as we're constrained by FPTP, but we're getting closer and closer.

I'm chuffed with the results, and most of all that we're making huge headway into Labour heartlands.

So the earthquake is results on something that you yourself claim is pointless and won't make a difference as opposed to the actual councils of the UK

[MKR&*42]

And my town remains a conservative majority yet again Damn :p

It's been interesting watching green party performance Tbh.

The earthquake is simply breaking the perception that it's always going to be Labour or Conservative, after all if Ukip top the polls this Sunday then it'll be the first time in a hundred years that neither of the main two have topped a national election - and that'll be a huge blow to the established parties even if it is the useless EU 'parliament'.

In the long run of course, council seats are more important as they're our gateway into Westminster. There's not been such an ground-up revolt against the established parties since the rise of the Labour Party in the Edwardian era.
