Just been and plonked my cross on the ballot sheet.

Living next door to the Polling Station, I can report a steady trickle which will probably Increase when people finish work.

Just had a set to with some dozy bird who thought because she was voting, she could park her car In my private drive.

Have your been ?

I have been and put my cross, somewhere I have never put it before.

Bet I know where yours went, mine didn't.

If you bet you know where mine went and you're wrong, then yours may not have gone where mine didn't but not where you didn't want to put yours unless you're right and yours went where you wanted It to.

I don't mind saying, as a protest rather waste my vote or spoil the paper........ this time I went Green.

I haven't adopted the smug look yet.......it might happen soon though.

So did I. I refuse to vote libdem again. tory and labour are a bunch of crooks and I'm not sure about the SNP. The christan coalition fell apart after the catholics refused to stand at the door as the protestants and the wee frees thought standing in the rain would be too much fun and wen home in protest.

Bugger me......we will have wind farms everywhere.

With all the hot air, that can't be a bad thing.

Don't know why they have elections, they just should use the public opinion polls and save us all having to go out in the rain.

Labour councilors Up

Tories Down

LibDems Down

UKIP Up

Think BNP have disappeared without trace?

I think the BNP have obtained far too much iffy baggage over time, to ever be able to persuade most people that they are a viable party to vote for. Also their so-called titular head has made too many mistakes and said too much that is far too controversial. If they removed NG from his present position and replaced him with somebody with a lot more nouse and common sense and a lot less 'putting foot-in-mouth' diseaase, then maybe more people would treat the BNP a little more seriously. Unfortunately there will always be the memory of association with the National Front and it's thoroughly undesirable racist inclinations, however hard the BNP protest that they are totally divorced from this particular association ! I have a feeling that the BNP is now a spent force. They have tried to make an impact on British politics and for various reasons have failed, where possibly UKIP are making strides forward.

Tactical voting?

Britain turns to the ' racist' Far Right.

Results so far In... UKIP take over 140

'The Ukip fox is in the Westminster hen house': Jubilant Farage taunts Cameron, Clegg and Miliband after his party takes council seats from Tories in the south and Labour heartlands in the north | Mail Online

Deputy PM Nick Clegg reflected on a "mixed night" after his party suffered big losses in council elections.

The Lib Dem leader said he would not be resigning and said a "very strong anti-politics mood" was behind the results.

With 142 councils declared, his party had lost more than a third of the seats it was defending, down 257 councillors.

BBC News - Nick Clegg: I won't resign despite election losses



A strong Anti- politics mood ? I think you'll find that's a strong anti- you vote.... Shut the door on your way out Clegg and turn the lights off.

Labour is the largest winner.

UKIP are not in control of any councils.

BNP Councilors are down.

Mid term results are invariably protest votes.

The Latest Results

So do you get data on voter turnout for these elections?

There's nothing wrong In that. The main Issue Is that Britain has turned to the Far Right whatever name It goes under. The Issue Is to get your policies Implemented and people who think the way you think, Into Parliament. It's not about personalities. No-one should be voting on personality.

What these gains to UKIP do show Is that country Is turning... that's the Important thing.

We haven't any Euro MP's declared yet.. that will come Sunday.

As an example...

Britain has NOT turned to the far right, a small percentage of local councils have a larger proportion of UKIP councilors, there are NO UKIP MP's elected as far as I know.

This has to be replicated in the next General Election......

Of course there are no UKIP MEP's elected...EU seats are not declared yet and all results won't be known until Sunday or later. Yet the Gains In UKIP Council's are an Indication. We'll see.

I like what Oliver Duff, in the i newspaper said today

Guessing election results is foolish, since every party spends the days before a poll trying to lower expectations, briefing journalists that they expect to lose big. We can be fairly confident, though, that the British National Party is about to be voted out of office and lose its seat in the European Parliament.

He can't be a BNP MEP if he resigned from the BNP

I said MP's........ No UKIP MP's ..........so no policy changes other than what day of the week the bins are emptied.

Strange that the anti EU UKIP will probably return several MEP's, more pigs around the trough?

Along side the nationalist Brit rubbing shoulders with all those foriegners at the cash tills

So? who won? and could someone explain all these parties?

Of course when Farage has stopped welfare cheques to women, they'll all be moaning....

Do you think those aides are saying ' don't worry Dave, It's a year away and no-one will remember or UKIP will lose their popularity by then'

Or do you think his aides know that as an Indication of how a GE will go In a years time, The Tories haven't a hope In hell of a clear majority and are panicking right now?

He won't be saying that In a years time If UKIP announce gains In MEP's.... of course he won't be saying that now... the results are not In yet.... and why would they admit It and risk losing Tory Voters?

Our resident Political Pundit is away right now, but her favoured party the BNP have been labouring under a leader out of touch with the times.

Meanwhile a new kid on the block has honed in on the general discontent throughout the country with our involvement with the European Union.

We joined that club The European Common Market some years ago as a Trading group of nations, but over time it has evolved into a grouping of countries with the intention of finally becoming a single unit similar to the United States of America, with a single currency and a federal government, and it's name changed to the European Union.

The BNP rose rapidly, but it had been formed from the remnants of a racist party, and so the relatively easy going Brits rejected them, to be replaced by the covertly racially motivated, but electorally intelligent UKIP or United Kingdom Independance Party, wanting independance from the EU.

UKIP have this weekend, swept the board in the UK European elections, joining a massive European swing to the right.

When we say right wing in Europe, remember Hitler and Mussolini were that way inclined.

So for a continent that is struggling with immigration from many of the constituent countries former colonies and internal movement from member countries, plus the ongoing financial crisis affecting each country differently.......times are difficult.

Yes, Nick Griffin has lost his seat and the BNP have made losses. Maybe now he'll concentrate on being the Chairman.

Nick Griffin concedes European parliament seat as BNP votes fall away | Politics | The Guardian

MEP Results In so far...Gains For UKIP..... who Nick Is now calling racist :wah: Still, I'm happy, they're all mad but at least It's a lean to the Far Right.

Lib Dems In 5th place...... they are finished.

A good year for the Right and Far Right and I believe Indicative of how a GE will swing.
