David R asked in Politics & GovernmentElections · 1 decade ago

Is not voting in the European Elections a vote for the BNP?

I can understand many people taking the view that none of them deserve a vote.

    This is a trick question surely, if you do not vote it is a vote for no one.

    If you don't vote you have no right to criticise what the results are.

    So the choice is yours, I sometimes wonder what would happen if the government said no one is allowed to vote - would you accept that?

    The latest figures show the BNP polling about 4% on a high turn out and 7% if the turn out is low so abstentions do tend to help the smaller parties but in this instance not enough to get them a seat (personally I would say the polls ar a couple of % above that but still no seat). Abstention by the supporters of the three main parties will be of far more help to the Greens and UKIP as they are more likely to get their support out in the high voting middle class areas.

    I think not voting in the European Elections will be a vote for the Lib Dem's.

    One reason for this is because this year muslims are been called on to vote for any party BUT the BNP.

    http://www.mcb.org.uk/media/presstext.php?ann_id=3...

    I can't see them voting Labour after all the Muslims THEY'VE killed and tortured recently.

    And Lib Dem's think immigration should be a lot higher.

    They also want an amnesty for all the illegal immigrants that are already here.

    it is a waste of time balloting for everybody with the aid of fact the ecu Parliament has no capacity; that rests with the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. additionally our EMPs look as lots on the make as our very own at Westminster. I doubt I shall vote for everybody until the entire corrupt device has been purged.

    It may help parties like the BNP slightly. On the other hand, abstention is itself a valid form of protest.

    I cannot understand this view (that none of them deserve a vote) and I would say that anyone saying this is an idiot. Their manifestos are all different, read and pick one...don't listen to the media to make your decisions and everyone should be fine.

    Ps...anyone who has read about the BNP will know by now they are literally scum...I do not fear them. We haven't got THAT stupid yet as a nation.

    PPS thank you for proving my point my intellectually challenged fellow Patriot
