Who will you vote for?

[BryanDC]

Just a thought brought up by an email from our Jægerforbund here in DK.
With the prospect of the UK taking part in European elections and a new general election almost certainly coming. Who are you going to vote for that is pro country sports. The email I have just received gives the names of those standing for the European elections that are pro hunting from each of the political parties. Maybe the BASC, countryside alliance and other organisations could get a list together of the right people to vote for.

And the e mail is?

I think his email relates to Denmark.
I also think it's pretty clear that Con and Lab can't be trusted an inch these days regardless of the merits of their candidates. Lib Dem, SNP, Plaid Cymru and the Greens are all unsound choices too.
I'll be hoping that some independent is standing with a party called the Notatotal****s Party.

And therein lies our problem: There is no pro hunting party to vote for which suggests our only option is to establish the party least active in their opposition to what we do.

And good luck with that!

What Id like to know is why are we involved in voting for an MEP at all, we voted to leave the EU over 2 years ago.
As for a pro hunting representative, I'll vote for someone to get us out of the mess we are in now, without even thinking about hunting.
It's not very high on the agenda compared to my country actually surviving the next few years.

Shouldn't be voting in the EU at all!
Our Gov gave their heads so far up their jacksies that they can't see what Britain ( notice I didn't say Great ) is really thought of.
Eurovision is a HUGE clue & even the the manners of Terry Wogan were tested beyond, only so much of a blind eye he could turn before he lost all credibity & the reason he stopped hosting it.

Anyone who understands how the traitors in parliament treated the legally binding exit vote should never vote lib lab con again, unfortunately I imagine old allegiance will colour the vote for those who are willing to loose their freedom. The mep vote has nothing to do with country sports, you should vote to destroy the eu comrades.

Monster Raving Loony party ??

I used to think it was a joke till this year !!!

 

[finnbear270]

Mr Farage if he stands.

 

[bluesako]

im gonna vote for trump

 

[ChesterP]

Brexit Party only because UKIP are infiltrated by idiots and extremists; Tory? You've got to be joking! Labour? See answer for Tory. Lib Dems? Lib who?

 

[User00035]

Brexit Party all the way. I hope Farage blows the Tory party apart so it can then reform and revert to the genuine article. Lightweights, progressives and charlatans can decamp to their natural home in the fantastically misnamed Change UK where they can languish where they belong at the bottom of the pile with a sub-10% vote share.

With a bit of luck a similar reformation will take place in the Labour Party and it can purge itself of the far left lunatic fringe who have temporarily taken it over, and at the same time cleanse the last of the metropolitan Blairites who also belong in "Change" UK. Then it can go back once again to representing people who actually exist in real life rather than pandering to some mythical identikit voter of their own imagining.
Though I think that process will actually be harder for Labour than the Tories because for the latter it's really a matter of a staright two-way split, but for Labour it's a fracturing that would leave very little remaining of the Parliamentary party and they would have to rebuild from a much smaller base than the Tories and fight off challenges from two sides on the hard left and the so-called progressive centre.

They say you should be careful what you wish for! In Peterborough one of the candidates standing on 6 June to replace Fiona Onasanya is George Galloway.

 

[big ears]

The EU elections are our one chance to register a protest vote against the establishment as it stands. The whole Brexit argument has been clouded by party allegiances and none of our representatives have put the countries interests first.
We all must vote in this election. A poor turn out will say nothing, voting either for the independent/fringe parties or turning up and spoiling your ballot paper are the way to go. Not voting is showing that you do not support the democratic rite of the people and that Westminster have won.

Galloway is a Brexiteer. Any party of his he might claim to represent is so minute he is effectively an independent and there is no chance he will ever be part of any future government. His ego is far too big to accommodated by Labour's Trotskyist Momentum controllers and I see can't him and John McDonnell, the real Labour leader, comfortably sharing the limelight. But he'd help the fabled arithmetic and represent one more parliamentary vote in the Brexit bag. Fill your boots Peterborough, vote him in. We'd prefer principled farsighted politicians of integrity, but if it helps us escape the EU, a useful idiot will do.

 

[dartmoordog]

Brexit Party also.

 

[Hornet 6]

If I really have to vote in this upcoming farce, I suppose it will be for the Brexit party, but I do admit I'm struggling to think of a good reason to vote for someone who has already stepped away from his party because he didn't want to be prime minister. Surely that is the objective in leading a party during several general elections ?
Will he stay this time ?

Neil.

 

[Jon Smith]

brexit party is nothing more than a diversion, a wasted vote for turncoat farage

 

[Klenchblaize]

This thread, and in particular some of the responces, has made me consider the question and I don't think you're gonna like what has come from my deliberations:

If I wasn't given of the passion that is hunting with a rifle I'm now convinced I would be voting for the party with most commitment and vision to saving our planet. The Green Party or whoever.

Now that really goes make me a selfish m..... f..... but all I can say in my limited defence is I truly love my hunting and I won't be around for too much longer!

I'd be interested to know where one of these could be found.
Frankly I wouldn't trust ANY of them, much less their principles or integrity.
