EUropeans, who are you going to vote for in the upcoming EP elections?

[Benefactor]

Liberal Democracts seem most in line with my views. Both nationally and on the European level.

 

[really]

After a bit of reading I discovered that a current independent MEP (Marian Harkin) here is a member of the same grouping (ALDE) of the party that I used to vote for so she is getting my vote.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

I demand to know why the Pirates are not on the list.

 

[Yoda Power]

I vote for the Social Liberal party, which is a part of the ALDE group. I have a lot of sympathy for the Social Democrats though.

 

[tycoonist]

well, i'd love to vote but somehow my human rights have been overruled in this case as i am classed as being less intelligent than a daily express reader.

 

[Flying Pig]

I don't really have a view. I like the UKIP people, but am more than a little unconvinced that isolationsim works anymore.

 

[Eniotna]

I'll vote for VLD, member of the ALDE.

There's not a lot of interest for the European elections are there are regional elections too. There'll be an interesting battle between Verhofstadt and Dehaene though (two former prime ministres). I don't think their view on Europe is very different, so it's not that important I guess...

 

[gangleri2001]

I wish I could vote UKIP.

 

[dutchfire]

PES - (Party of European Socialists) - Center-Left/Social Democrats

Don't know who to vote for yet though. I'll probably vote for #1 on the list, but I might be tempted to vote on the person with the most awesome name.

 

[Jan H]

I'll probably vote CD&V, which is a member of the European People's Party, but I still have to do some research this week...
I'm not going to vote for Jean-Luc Dehaene though, but someone else on the list, like Ivo Belet.

 

[Yoda Power]

Well i cannot be bothered to vote, i am quite unpolitical

And you Greeks used to be so good at democracy...

The EP have a lot more power than I think you imagine. You really should vote.

 

[ComradeDavo]

I'm voting Liberal Democrat.

They are part of ALDE (Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe).

 

[fugazi]

D66 who are part of the ALDE. Why? I believe that many things can be better organised through the EU if done right and these people most fit my view of what's 'right'.

 

[Winner]

After much deliberation, I chose to vote for a smaller party because I know its candidates and they have my respect. I am disgusted by the big parties' lack of European focus in their campaign, they are simply using these EP elections as a warm-up round for the planned early elections in October this year. Screw them.

The party I am going to vote for is affiliated with EPP-ED I believe.

 

[mrt144]

Rabobank!!!

 

[Jan H]

Rabobank!!!

that's not a party, it's a cycling team

 

[mrt144]

that's not a party, it's a cycling team

They shall conquer all of Europe! Italy has already fallen!

 

[GinandTonic]

Lib I guess.

Whats wird is that apart from a couple of fliers in the letterbox I havnt heard a thing about these elections. I saw one poster in a window in a different town. No-one's knocked on the door. No campaigning on the radio. I can see that MEP's have too many constituents to visit every house as the candidates for a parliamentary seat try to but there is simply no campaigning of any kind from any party.

 

[Thorbal]

I´m not completely sure yet. Probably the EFA/Greens or the Pirates. And if I can´t decide at all, I´ll vote for
the RENTER (Retiree-Party) .

 

[Riffraff]

Social Democrat, but tbh without being really knowledgable on their european policies in comparison with the alternatives.
