Supposedly Geert Wilder's far-right 'Freedom Party' are looking like they could come second in the Netherlands' Euro election. That won't happen here but it is a bit of an eye-opener.


Oh yes, they should still be fought with tooth and claw.

Yeah, an eye opener. Though I think the situation is different there. I think they have been letting in more immigrants than Britain which is bound to increase racist feelings. But yeah, it's something to watch with how this could affect the EU, whether it is a representation of what could happen here or not.

The Labour party are going to be destroyed, if the opinion polls are to be believed.

Euro elections are tomorrow in my land.
I don't give a shit though.
I haven't found anyone actually worth voting for.

Lurker 06.05.2009 06:38 AM

Yeah but you should still vote. Just vote for the one that is closest to what you want even if you still think they're shit.

Look. The social democratics in here are a complete disaster (currently leading party). The opposition rightwing parties are okay, though their particular candidates for Europarliament are not worth giving a vote because of their political past and mistakes they'd done. So, no, I am boycotting this one.

Exactly! You should always vote even if it is just to get the the lesser evil into power. Surely that's better than being apathetic and letting the greater evil take control? It's as if people think that not voting will stop any party getting into power. It won't! There will always be someone voted in!
