Thoughts are the same Wyn. I definely will not be voting for our present representative so UKIP is a possible alternative.

Global warming.

Soon the north is the only dry place where there'll be any government.

UKIP if you want to, I'd rather not.

Close, but no cigar.


'UKIP if you want to.'

'The ToffeeGuy's not for kipping.'


Much better.

Seeing there will be a lack of credible candidates, maybe Karen Buckley could come back?
I will be edging towards UKIP as well

Was there any UKIP candidate at the last election in Hyndburn?..if so could not have done to good.
It's all very well people voting for any candidate who states he/she would press for a referendum on the EU no matter the party they represent, but in a constituency where it is very tight between the two major parties, it could mean your vote contributes to the party who you would least like to have govern the country.

Mancie mate, I understand your point, I have always voted for a mainstream party. But thanks to some of the policies introduced by the last Labour Government, that had a major impact on my father and mother, among thousands of others in his industry, I cannot and will not ever vote Labour again.

This leaves me with the Conservatives, I am right wing, I am a capitalist, but in our ward I don't believe they have ever fielded a candidate that I feel good about voting for, therefore I have never voted for them, since I moved here.

I won't not vote as I disagree with that, so I am stuck.

Ok if people vote in a general election who would usually vote tory but vote on one issue they feel strongly about.. lets say immigration, they may vote BNP..the BNP vote goes up a few percent but then the labour candidate wins on a slim majority .

Whether Hyndburn remains as a constituency or not, there will be a UKIP candidate(s) in this area.

I've been in contact with them.

Though they already knew there's a great deal of disillusionment with mainstream political parties in this area, and people locally do want a say, about what our future is with the EU.

Hyndburn's ripe for the taking

...and the vote a' splittin'.

Re: Northern Parliament
 
Nearly every person I know are sick of New Labour, and are unimpressed with the Tory led coalition.

Most are planning to vote UKIP.

Re: Northern Parliament
 
There's a campaign called People's Pledge running local referendums asking people if they want an in/out referendum on the EU. They are designed to highlight just how important the issue is to people and to pressure the MP or candidates into backing the Pledge to support an in/out referendum.

In many areas the number of people that have signed the pledge outnumber the MP's majority.

I've signed the pledge, I hope you can too. Maybe we'll get one in Hyndburn. Peoples Pledge - EU Referendum Campaign

Let's come out off the common market and stop bailing other countries out.

Signed, and spread the word, that others should too.
