Still too much of a thirst for GE. Just write second referendum in huge red letters on your strategy paper. You will get a GE after that anyways.
Oh well I guess I should switch my support to the fucking Lib Dems then!
Labour are trash. I will only vote for them in the GE as I can't see Libs doing anything and as a Jamaican I will never vote for Tories
It's not like they've distanced themselves from the coalition days... Vince Cable is their leader ffs!
I'm still deciding between Greens and Libs in Euros. Part of me thinks Libs, but I remember the shit they did in the past. I guess not thinking Greens is cus I still think of them as a small party? I don't know ha
Greens are viable for more of the country in European elections. London and the South West from memory they should get a seat. Not sure about anywhere else
Libs are the bigger party where I live. Think it was predicted it would be between Brexit party and Dems taking most votes here...
Biggest isn't the only thing that matters in D'hondt though. There are multiple MEPs per constituency, so even the smaller parties often get one.
Yup. Voting Lib Dem in a euro election is very different to voting for them in a local or general.
propping up a right-wing parliament seems pretty on brand for them.
Why I vote Labour for GE and Local, as it is either them or Tories. Dems are dead here Local and GE wise.
This is the thing that's really galling to me - I'm supposed to believe that pro-remain people really believe in the EU and our place there, but then they will either ignore or be totally ignorant of points like this.
Yeah he is, I'm just looking at reasons why people would vote for them. Things aren't so black and white.
The simple answer is it's not a vote on whether you want brexit to go ahead or not. People should vote for who they actually want to be represented by if we stay in the EU because these are the MEPs we'll be sending.
Labour MEPs will sit in the Socialists and Democrats group. It's the second biggest group and I would rather we send MEPs to bolster that, because I'm voting with consideration for what happens if we remain and not wasting it on a pointless protest vote that won't actually impact our chances of remaining.
I can't vote for them EU wise while Corbyn is in charge
I think a lot of people don't understand how the EU Parliament works, but can still be very Pro-EU in terms of solidarity, shared values, standards and rights etc, keeping the peace, a bigger, united voice in the world etc.
Well they should consider who the MEPs are that they'll be sending over and the values they'll stand for in the European Parliament, not just their view on a second referendum.
