Euro and Local Elections 22nd May

[jamiev]

A week to go till EU and Local Elections. Wondering whether the political map will change or the status quo remain?

Will the UKIP protest vote happen, LibDems crash, a Labour resurgence, Greens improve their percentage? ...

[Loz]

Big UKIP vote that will not be replicated at the next general election.

Greens to do well and get about 10%. Also not replicated at the next general election

The three big parties to not do so well.

Not much will change as a result of these elections.

[PokerTime]

I agree Loz. I also don't expect turnout to be remarkable either.

[uncleglen]

Yes these type of elections are for protesting and serves to wake them up a bit- turn out figures will be most telling

[????]

Turnout will be shite; Tories/lib deems trounced and highly embarrassingly a significant amount of our representation in Europe will be the twats from UKIP...although the twats in the EU themselves are responsible for growing scepticism everywhere in europe. The whole 'institution' needs head to toe reform, proper accountability or a reduction in power, etc or it will move further and further away from democratic legitimacy.
