[Poll] Upcoming EU elections (UK), who has your vote?

[RyRy]

HEEEEY RYANGEEEEEEEEE

missin ya, how ya doing?

Anyway, back on topic. I still have no idea who to vote for. I'm leaning towards Labour personally.

Why you leaning towards Labour? They haven't actually said what they're going to do in the EU which is like BARMY considering people are saying they'll go for them regardless.

I'm good, still in Edinburgh and just finished my exams, just got coursework to do now. Also there's a very funny smell in my room and I'm not sure what it is. Yourself? PM moi

The area I reside in is very Labour orientated. I suppose it is EU though, not local. I really do need to look into this further!

Ah how exciting. Dude I'll PM you now

I don't vote because none of the parties are pledging to make me King. Also the woman in the Green Party video annoys me with her uneven brows

[dbgtz]

I'd vote UKIP if I bothered to register. Don't see myself voting UKIP for general election though

[Inseriousity.]

how would voting for ukip make that the last european election if it's the general election they'd need to win to actually be able to leave.

One hell of a surge for the purples in last night's European Election polling.

UKIP on course to deliver political earthquake

UKIP's European Election campaign is on course to deliver a gigantic political earthquake according to two new polls out today.

The first from TNS-BMRB shows UKIP in first place with 36%. A ComRes poll has UKIP on 38%, an 11% lead over Labour and 20% ahead of the Conservatives.

TNS-BRMB:

UKIP: 36%
Labour: 27%
Conservatives: 18%
Liberal Democrats 10%

ComRes:

UKIP: 38%
Labour: 27%
Conservatives: 18%
Liberal Democrats 8%

UKIP Director of Communications Patrick O'Flynn said: "These two latest polls chime with what we are picking up on the doorsteps. People are sick of the pro-Brussels political establishment and are flocking to UKIP for an alternative.

“In particular they want Britain to take back control of its borders and impose immigration controls with regard to other EU countries. And they really do not like seeing that view described as racist.

“There is no room for complacency at all and everyone at UKIP will be working flat out right up until May 22 to deliver the best possible result in the European and local elections.

“But there is no doubt that the signs are very promising for us just now and morale is extremely high. Our message to all UKIP members is to keep getting out on the campaign trail and help us make political history.”​

What were the last percentage votes for the previous European Elections? Did the conservatives ever get as high as 36/38%?

I mean, I can understand that UKIP is bound to get more popular as time goes on, I'm just astounded that it's increasing so exponentially.

[Chippiewill]

Apparently the libdems might not get any MEPs at all o.O

Just saw this in response to the fresh polls:

Last European Election (2009) was..

Coservatives 27.7%
Ukip 16.5%
Labour 15.7%
Liberal Democrats 13.7%
Others 26.4%

Via the link is also the polling done prior to that election.

It's interesting also that in the poll that Chippiewill posted the other day that had Ukip on 31%, they were on something like 45% of the vote among the over 60 demographic group who just happen to be the demographic who are most likely to turn out and vote.

Apparently the libdems might not get any MEPs at all o.O

In a way I feel sorry for Clegg, at least he gambled and had a debate on the topic which is more than can be said for the other two.

Love the picture too.

Amazingly I have just read that apparently those two polls conducted didn't prompt Ukip in the question but did prompt the Liberal Democrats, Labour and the Tories in the question: when Ukip aren't prompted in the General Election polling by some pollsters, it usually results in a difference of 10% to 14% (unprompted) and 17% to 21% (prompted).

If Survation or Opinium do any polling on the European Elections then we may see if it makes a difference as they tend to prompt Ukip.
