No bother. Does anyone know what the turnout percentages are like in Euro, Local, and National elections ?
Poll: which party are you going to vote in up coming elections?

I think they'll get the third highest amount of votes next year but not actually win any seats.

Are we talking European elections or general?
General. I wouldn't put any money on it, nor am I saying it's a good or bad thing. I just think that's how it'll run.
Vote for them all!
Not old enough to vote in the EU ones but talking General at the moment it'll be Labour as they're who I agree with the most and although Northampton South's Conservative candidate is retiring the guy taking his position is more of a pillock.

I too doubt UKIP will get an MP, if they do it'll be similar to the Greens and be an exception to the rule.
They are all as bad as each other i guess but, having said that, i would vote Ukip. How much better would they be? Would they be better? Well, only one way to find out and to be honest, we have had years of false promises from the big parties so even if Ukip do prove to be rubbish at least we have given them a try!
Not the best way of viewing it.
Labour & the Conservatives overall have done very little right or wrong over the last 30 years (slight swings to the left or right) - having UKIP in power has a very real chance of destroying our economy.

This^ time for something new, sick of endless false promises, this country really needs a wake up call, just not sure about UKIP but difficult to criticise those who have never been given a chance. Good to see UKIP doing well in the poll on here though, change is really in the air.

Can someone explain the European process in England and Scotland and Wales?
In Northern Ireland we have an STV style election, 3 seats, and everyone votes into the pool, then the assort the result from that.
Is the rest of the UK split into similar constituencies, larger than the general election constituencies?

No way, I'd rather hang myself off the M5 motorway bridge at Exeter with cheesewire than tick either of the boxes that say Labour or Lib Dem.
I can't see them getting a single MP either. But I think the Lib Dems have done enough damage to push themselves back to 4th place overall - they'll still end up with seats though.
The end result is between Con/Lab though, all the way.

It's not, as OCUK tend to attract a far larger percentage of far right wing types than any other forums I frequent. It is by no way representative of the real world.
As it should be really, they have the main policies that cover everything rather than things like UKIP that just have one main policy, it's like having a match with a few mil of burn roomNo way, I'd rather hang myself off the M5 motorway bridge at Exeter with cheesewire than tick either of the boxes that say Labour or Lib Dem.

Could you imagine if the country was actually spearheaded by that grease ball Milliband? Oh the humility.
There should be an option on the polling card that says 'Not Labour' and it takes a vote off their tally
I hate to think what would happen if they got in I really do.... It's not as If they hadnt made a big enough mess last time
This is such flawed logic it is hard to even begin a rational, intelligent debate.
The Monster Raving loony party have a much better chance of successfully running the country!
The UKIP have absolutely zero experience, zero expertise and only have single-issue omniphobic policy. The UKIP getting anywhere close the helm would throw Britain in to the dark ages from which it may never be able to recover.
