So That's What A Democratic Right Feels Like...
Right. Quick update - finished exams and hopefully will spend a bit more time on this. In the meantime, resignations, reshuffles and dodgy expenses have all happened at the most inconvenient time for Mr. Brown. The kicking he will get today will surely send his leadership of this country into the long grass. If he comes fourth behind UKIP in the European (Union) elections, then that must surely be that.
Speaking of which, I have just cast my first two votes. One in the local County Council elections and one in the Europeans. I hope that those who I voted for live up to their expectations.
It seems that due to the spontaneous combustion of Labour, we may well have a majority of eurosceptic parties in the British delegation to the European Parliament. Such parties would be in two groups - Independence and Democracy (UKIP) and the Movement for Democratic Change (Conservatives). If the BNP get one elected I don't think they would be welcome in either. If the other predominantly eurosceptic countries - Poland, Czech Republic, maybe Ireland, elect at least a rump of eurosceptic MEPs, we could have a real opposition in the EP. We are almost there with the current configuration of seats, but Ind-Dem is too small to get enough floor-speaking time and committee positions.
Anyway, my predictions for the European elections:
Conservatives - 36%
UKIP - 21%
Lib Dems - 20%
Labour - 18%
Others - 5%

Congratulations! The big day finally arrives.
I don't know how wide the spread of your candidates was. Had you been back home the choice would have included the Christian Party, whose platform appears to be to proclaim Christ's Lordship but is fairly vague on other issues, and the Roman Party who - um - are Roman. Apparently.
