So we are going to be going to the polls soon (23rd May) to democratically elect our representatives for the undemocratic EU parliament. Who will you be voting for?

Are you going to vote for someone who you think will best represent you in the EU parliament for the next five years, or vote based on your opinion of Brexit?

Certainly won't be the Conservatives after the leaflet full of lies that came through my letterbox today!

Only one reasonable option. Liberal Democrats. That said, it shows what a shitfest shiteshower the rest are, that my immediate thoughts are for the party that hocked their souls and ditched their policies in order to play bedtime spoons with dimwit Dave and his Blair-wannabe failure of a government. When the options are poke in the left eye, poke in the right eye and a wet handshake, I'll take the handshake any day.

Kinda want to vote Green. Them or Lib Dems are the only sane choices at the moment.

A lot of the interest in this is going to be more around the split of votes than anything else IMHO. Also what happens to Labour given they seem to have completely ballsed up their manifesto pledge.

Never voted in the euros before, but we can't let it be only the Farage crew who bother this time.

I'll no doubt vote Green.

11-1 to the progressive parties.
Not entirely sure that's representative of much though.

Don't usually vote in the EU elections, but I will be voting for whoever has the best chance of beating Farage.

This will - of course - be seen as a clear sign to get on with Brexit

This will be a proxy Second referendum and those in favour of Leave will vote for The Brexit Party in large numbers, so if you are staunch Remain then you have to vote for a proven brand.

Personally, I think it makes sense to vote Lib Dem because they are unequivocally committed to the EU, it's hardwired into their DNA as a party. Neither the Labour or Tory leadership is fully committed to the EU while Change UK are pro-Second Referendum but have yet to be tested on how European they really are.

Haven't seen the candidates for my constituency yet, but for the European elections will vote for a Remain party with other policies close to my views.

Most likely Green.

Strangely, the highest listed Green candidate is also called.... Alexandra Phillips.

That'll be clear then - although you vote for the party not the person.

Yes, I was a bit confused when he mentioned Alex was with the BREXIT party. Now I see there are two.
