Title: The all new how should Steve vote thread
Post by: Steve on May 22, 2014, 08:52:05 AM
As started in the Good Morning thread

I haven't decided how to vote, here is my summary of the parties positions

UKIP:  we want out, we haven't a clue what we'd then do.  We find numbers difficult

Libs:  we will stay in and threaten to stay in to make the EU change

Cons:  we completely disagree with ourselves but we'd definitely like you to tell us in 3 years time

Lab: we wish the election wasn't happening as we don't know why we want to stay in

BNP: we want out and we will then annex the Sudetenland

Green: we want more windymills

Scottish Nats:  Och ye cannae vote for us you daft sassenanch. 

Plaid Cymru:  see Scots Nats but with a few FFFs and LLLs thrown in


The Vote Match site (http://wal.votematch.eu/#/intro) says I should either vote Green or BNP - FFS how did they get to that?


So  . . . . .

UKIP!  Thumbs:

If for no other reason than the other three have had their chance and completely fucked it all up every time...

They have?

A small logistically disadvantaged nation bats in the top ten in the world hardly shows they have done that bad over the years.

Why

Someone might actually have an argument that is persuasive



I thought it was compulsory to vote in Cyprus

Interesting point...

It is theoretically compulsory to vote in Cyprus...

...but EU rules overrule national rules so Cyprus law cannot be enforced.... ::)

As for me, after 12 years I am still considered to be an 'Alien' and have to have 'papers' to live here (and prove self sufficiency, medical insurance, etc.). As such, I am allowed to vote in local village elections only....

Nah!  The way he does numbers it's not like he'd miss my vote or a hundred thousand of them

Here was my logic, argue against it if you like but the vote is cast.

The EU needs at a minimum change but we shouldn't just commit to leave before any renegotiations.  That excluded UKIP and quickly the Libs as they won't be able to negotiate using a threat to stay in.  Labour have no policy on the EU and their awful political broadcast was just so wrong.  BNP only want out of Europe so they can legalise persecution and the Scots and Welsh Nats weren't standing here.  The Greens want more windmills, cyclists and to ban my car.  The other fringe parties are just a wasted vote.  So that left me with for all its faults what is the only party committed to what the UK really needs: an informed In/Out referendum.  Even if that odious prick Hannan is #1 on their list.

Just heard John Pugh claiming that it was undeserved that a large portion of the electorate was not listening to Nick Clegg and that it was partly the fault of the media.  noooo:

There's a good chance that in a few months time people will say "Nick Clegg?  Who's he?"

Probably a great guy to have as a next door neighbour in a profession that needs leaders
