May 2014 Election for MEPs
Although I share the sentiments of UKIP I wouldn't vote for that party to represent me in the European Parliament because they have such a bad record for turning up to register an official yeah or nay on policies which dictate European Legislation. For instance they didn't turn up to register a vote on the debate to increase the European Budget and they also kept well away from discussing and voting on the future Fisheries Policy.
I have a good idea which way I'll vote and for a bit of fun decided to take this Election Quiz to see which MEP and political party share my views. I've never been so shocked as when I saw the result :confused: VoteWatch Europe: European Parliament, Council of the EU |

I think it's completely understandable why UKIP MEPs don't involve themselves much in the machinations of the EU Parliament when they are against the whole thing in principle & their only reason for being there is to work towards getting the UK out!
I started to take the Votewatch quiz but I'm afraid it is heavily biased towards the assumption that we want to remain part of the EU so I found it quite irrelevant. I will vote for UKIP on the 22nd. because their share of the vote will indicate their level of support (amongst the few who will bother to vote at all - but that applies to all parties I suppose) and maybe show the current political elite that their grip on power is not assured if they continue to ignore the views of a significant proportion of the electorate. |

UKIP are the only people there that ask the important questions and when they do the rest of them boo them like pathetic little school children

A couple of flyers were on my doormat this morning when I brought in the milk; one from UKIP and the other was from the BNP. I barely glanced at them but my son picked up one of them and looked accusingly at me and said; "This BNP one is addressed to you". I had a hard job persuading him that I wasn't a member and that the group must have got my address from the telephone book.

How many Hyndburn Independent Councillors or ex-Independent Councillors have ceased to be independent and have become dependent on UKIP in an attempt to get elected as UKIP Councillors for Hyndburn ?
Some may say they have no principles as was said of the Liberal Democrats when they ditched their policies to join ranks with the Conservatives . :rolleyes: Mr Farage has said it is party policy for hand guns to be legalised and licensed in the UK despite being banned in the UK for the last 18 years following the shooting in Dunblane . Mr Farage said the current ban on the guns, which were made illegal following the school shooting at Dunblane in 1996, was “ludicrous.” I wonder how many Hyndburn UKIP candidates agree with that ? Mr Farage was against Parliament's decision to legalise gay marriage . Now he doesn't seem to know what he thinks . I wonder how many Hyndburn UKIP candidates agree with that ? :confused: |
