I'd like to vote green in the European elections I think. Doubt I'll have to vote tactically will I? Does Farage have much support up here?

Even ardent unionists and leavers must surely see that cunt as arch-Sassenach Laugh

d'Hondt is a pure proportional system, no tactical voting needed.

Is the European elections the one where you can vote for more than 1 party in a ranking system or is that council?

Media still playing catch up in fight against disinformation, and Farage and leave.eu etc still doing everything out the Bannon playbook.

The sooner Westmonster is forced into voting reform away from FPTP the better imo. More small parties can only be a good thing in that regard Jezza

Brexit party tho Monty LewLew

Absolutely no way that 10% for the brexit party actually happens.

Ukip would pull in about that much at general elections.

And had no mps May Bee

FPTP will mean that the brexit party will likely end up the same.

Any ideas how UKIP could've got my name and address if I'm not on the open register?

In fact never mind. Didn't realise political parties had access to the actual electoral register. Think that's a bit of a joke but what can you do Laugh

PHOODLE-OUt · 05-15-2019, 11:43 AM

They'll have bought a list from somebody who sells your info in their small print

**Del-icious** · 05-15-2019, 11:51 AM

Every single leaflet I've had has been a generic one, UKIP the only one that's been sent to a name and address.

Wonder what those pesky racist cunts are up to vladchin

**Charlie Kelly** · 05-15-2019, 11:56 AM

Hopefully some sort of smear campaign : Quite Good

**Shuto Makino** · 05-15-2019, 12:25 PM

I got a Brexit Party one addressed to me personally Heh

Ripping it up and putting it in the bin was one of life's wee petty pleasures.
