MEP EU Elections Poliing Day

[Still Farming]

Come on get your vote in for this farse of an election that should not be taking place and wasting this Countries money again.

 

[JP1]

Well we're off

Should we be allowed to discuss it in polling hours (TFF media Purdah?)

Interesting

Was at the Polling Station just as it opened

One smaller than A3 portrait voting form

All the tick boxes to the right with the party with all the candidates listed. So you have no chance of voting for your chosen candidate as such

Results won't be in until Monday, so I guess there will be an inside word to TM Friday and the grey suits may visit her then?

 

[Still Farming]

What do you mean, "no chance to vote for your candidate '?

Plenty of press coverage about it all
Irrespective of what Colour Party you support?

 

[Widgetone]

Voting later.
So, as I understand it, one votes for a party rather than a named individual, and the assorted parties have listed their candidates in a ranking order, so top name on the list gets the first seat etc?
We have 7 MEP seats to fill in East Anglia.

 

[Still Farming]

So different ballot papers everywhere is it?

Regional ones, yes.
I think!

 

[Still Farming]

Maybe on the net , sample ballot papers around the eu countries possibly?

 

[Jackov Altraids]

Who would vote for an international version of their chosen party?

In 7 EU countries I believe it is an option in these elections.

It seems like a good idea but I wonder if it would make the voice of your own nation stronger or weaker.

I'm inclined to think the current situation where national parties form coalitions is probably more democratic.

Posted our ballot papers back a couple of weeks back. But have they been counted or flung into the channel by arch Brexiteer Peter Lilly's dodgy IBOX postal and vote counting company.

I would love to know why you vote for a British MEP rather than a French one,if you don't mind me asking. I assume it's circumstance rather than choice?

 

[JCMaloney]

I was first one in our polling station, watched them "seal the box" after all the staff confirmed it was empty.
Never knew it happened, always though they were delivered sealed.
Its my "thing I learnt today" !

Bon question, we vote here, have done for years. Only Local and EU elections though, not entitled to vote in French nationals as not citizens.

 

[7610 super q]

Nah, I left the EU on the 29th March.

 

[kfpben]

Just left the polling station having spoilt my ballot paper.

Returning officer said it was the quietest Election Day he had ever known, even quieter than our locals the other month.

Legally think UK did?

No good spoiling papers as never gets anywhere.
People be complaining never had choice to vote , or old people dictating for young , too close to call etc etc and all other reasons their voice was'nt heard then also,?

 

[Highland Mule]

Problem is that a spoilt paper tells us nothing. There was about 30k spoilt in recent English council elections but nobody knows if they were pro or anti anything.

Either of you got any legal training?
