Guest Iain C Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Christian Party or Libdem I think. Probably not Libdem Well, probably not the Christian Party either but their leader wrote the gay anthem "SO MACHO"...

But I'm tired of EU and our government wanna fuck my internets.

Surely the best way to keep the fascists out is to vote for one of the major parties...the fringe parties are never going to get very many votes... The BNP (hopefully) won't do too well, but if a handful of people vote for the christians, and a handful vote for the monster raving loony party (or whatever) then there's always the chance that the BNP will have a slightly larger handful. It seems to me that a tactical vote for a fringe party is a waste, as everyone's votes will be divided among a number of small parties (unless everyone decided to vote for the same fringe party) Whereas if you vote for one of the major parties, much as it might pain you to do so, they will be much more likely to beat parties like the BNP and UKIP.

I think there's some arcane electoral process which gives greater weight to minority party votes in the European elections, but I'm not sure exactly how it works. Never mind the fact that no-one in their right mind (Dan is not in his right mind) is going to vote for one of the mainstream parties at the moment... And remember, a vote for the Christians is ironically both a vote against gay rights and for the bloke who wrote the song So Macho.

Guest Stoppit Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 This is how it works (for anyone that's interested): It's proportional representation..so in an area, for example South East England, there will be, say 10 seats. The votes are then counted, and seats are awarded based on a percentage. So, if the Conservatives get 30% of the vote, they get 3 seats, and if Labour get 20% they get 2 seats, and so on. This means that it is easier for the fringe parties to get seats, because they only have to receive 10% of the vote to get one seat, rather than having to actually win the vote by a majority. To be honest, it doesn't matter too much who you vote for, as long as you vote. There is a limit to how many people will vote BNP, and as long as enough people turn out, it should be possible to prevent them getting a seat. Just bear in mind that if you vote for the christians, they might actually win...
