No european elections for me

As a codicil to my previous post, I notice that the European elections are going to be run on the basis of Party lists - so you don't get any choice as to which individual represents you it is all down to the Party.

As this is the case I won't be voting on June 4th as I would only be able to support a party.

As an aside; this system is a good way of allowing extremist political parties to gain power. The geographically based vote for an individual candidate mitigates against this.

Don't assent to this flawed system by voting next month, if we don't play along with the party system it will have to change.
