The Euro Election Day Megathread

[-:Undertaker:-]

Ukip on their highest ever Westminster 2015 polling tonight with Survation.....

Labour 32% (-1)
Conservatives 27% (-2)
Ukip 23% (+4)
Liberal Democrats 9% (-1)

I don’t call a person bigoted/racist for disagreeing with me, that’s what I call uneducated people that oppose immigration based on emotion rather than facts (the prime example being the guy in this video). You, however, do seem to dismiss those that disagree with you, labeling them middleclass/elitist/out of touch or anything else to reinforce this idea you have where you think you’re in the majority and represent the views of the common man. How many Ukrainian’s do you think that guy has actually seen personally? I’d wagered not that many and he’s simply taking out his frustrations on them. He’s quite entitled to his opinion just as I am entitled to criticise it.

Of course, you're entitled to your opinion - i'm just telling you that insulting huge swathes of public opinion isn't going to do your cause any good as we've seen with past jibes thrown at us.

That's why i'm personally delighted everytime Ukip is insulted or slurred.

...to reinforce this idea you have where you think you’re in the majority and represent the views of the common man.

I know from polling that I am in touch with public opinion and the common man or at least a huge proportion of the public on issues like the death penalty, the European Union, immigration, foreign aid & stupid wars overseas. I have no problem admitting that I am out of step with public opinion on healthcare and nationalisation.

My issue is that none of these issues have representation in parliament, and that's what will (hopefully) change.

Because that isn't what I said... 3 posts in a row you've just written some fiction and pretended that it's a legitimate argument. Disagreeing with the statement "they come here and take our jobs" is not the same as "I want no restrictions on anything ever". The clue is in how the words are different.

Either you agree with open borders and mass immigration or you don't.

You're totally right the only options are let everyone in or write down an arbitrary number of folk we'll find acceptable and then call them all criminals

Good news emerging from the French and Dutch counts taking place now, with exit polls projecting the anti-EU Front National and Danish People's Party topping the polls in both countries. Judging by Ukip MEP candidate tweets from just before, counts are now beginning across the UK.

Apparently Labour sources this early on are saying it's too close to call between Labour and Ukip in WALES - which is good news for the purples.

Apparently UKIP and the Tories have a majority and can technically ask to leave the EU, if the results I have been told are anything to go by.

How the **** are Labour doing well in the EU elections? I swear the Labour voters thought they were voting in local elections.

And by what was in Labour's EU election video, you'd think they had the same idea as their voters.

Conservatives and UKIP smashing this, rightly so too. Labour have no idea what they're doing in the EU.

"An independence from Europe" have done quite well for their first time standing tbfh.
