Will you be voting on June the 4th ?

What do the Roman party stand for, or should I be asking that question on a different forum?

What have the Roman Party ever done for us?

According to a blog written by a Green Party member in Reading ...

The Roman party Ave have no website, and just one candidate. Jean Louis Pascual, a bus driver in Reading who stands every election, no one can quite figure out why. He gets around 20 votes in council elections, and thinks that people should 'When in Rome Do as the Romans do'.


My theory is that the bloke's employer gives him time off from work when he's standing for public office.

err, have you never been to a toga party?

Yes, yes I have. Worst party ever. Being dyslexic, I went dressed as a goat

As it's based on proportional representation, I can see a minority party getting an MEP due to the disillusionment with the main parties

It might mean that the vote is rinsed out, but I can't see the BNP or UKIP getting a seat and it might mean that The Green Party might swing enough votes to get two seats

If you want an option in South East for the Euro election, there's always Dave Hilll and his NO2EU-YestoDemocracy party.

For those with long memories, he was a former Parliamentary candidate for Brighton Pavilion - against Julian Amery and a long-standing councillor. He used to be considered on the right of the Labour party and is now seen as well on the left, a sign of how much Labour has changed.

Didn't Amery spend most of his time in South Africa?

That's the problem with our system really, back in the day when Pav was a safe seat, it meant the Tories could put anyone up and win, even if they were never about. Much the same as I'm sure Lab can do in their heartlands. The lack of competition doesn't exactly breed good MP's

I had a BNP leaflet through my door today, in Henfield!

To those gullible enough to consider the English Democrats to be an option, check this thread out. Looks like they have some very unsavoury allies, holocaust deniers and neo nazis none the less!

they will be getting my vote

Depends - last round of Euros I read all of the manifestos and didn't find one I agreed with so didn't vote. Will do the same again and see if any match up.

No, the elections on the 5th here. Labour in Europe and an independent followed by Labour in the locals (single transferrable vote).

Must say I'm surprised Libertas have got that many candidates on the list in South East England - they only started last year as a campaign group for a No vote on the Lisbon Treaty here (which they got) and only became a political party even in Ireland a few months ago with an intent to get people on the ballot in every constituency in the EU.

Always have. Always will.
