These elections are solely to place some muppet on the Brussels gravy train, the MEP will be largely ineffective anyway. I will vote, but look for an Independent candidate...failing that, I will vote UKIP or some other small party. No way will I be voting for any of the other three.
Is it just me?
Why? If the loony UKIP people are so anti-europe why are they wasting money standing?
Meanwhile.....
A Member of the European Parliament and his assistant have both been charged with false accounting and money laundering after an investigation into claims that they misused thousands of pounds of expenses.
Tom Wise, 60, who was hoping to stand for re-election in June, was elected for the UK Independence Party but now sits as an independent after being expelled from the party.
He and Lindsay Jenkins, his researcher, could face lengthy jail terms if found guilty.
The charges against Mr Wise, an MEP for the East of England, come less than two months before European elections for which an EU-wide survey has forecast a record low turnout. They follow a series of claims about the misuse of the generous expenses on offer in Brussels, including the Conservative Chief Whip Den Dover being required to pay back ÂĢ445,000 in âunaccountable expenditureâ.
What a good idea, think of the money it would save us...then again, I'm sure the useless Government will find something else equally wasteful to spend it on...
Only one way to find out....fiiiiiigggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhht!!
