I'll probably be voting LibDem but will consider voting ChangeUK.
It's important and essential that all those who oppose BREXIT vote and vote for either LibDem, ChangeUK, Green, Plaid Cymru or SNP. If you can figure out which one is most likely to gain an extra seat, and you have no particular preference between them, vote for that one. If we get enough Remain votes, and the more of those Remain we can turn into seats the better, we can stop BREXIT once and for all.
These are Euro Elections and the most important issue, possibly the only real issue, is should we keep our rightful place in Europe in the EU or give up our say and control over our future and Leave. In these Euro Elections nothing else really matters.

It's a real shame that MEP's are meant to be voted in to look out for our country while we're in the European Union and work for the national interests while so many vote to reduce our influence and standing by voting for idiots who only want to burn the house down.

I will vote for whomever I think will do a good a good job representing the UK in the EU. Even if its a leave party if they intend to take the role seriously then and have an ethos I agree with, I have no qualms voting for them. Tho I suspect no such party will exist and leave parties wi major on disruption |

Out of the ops list, it would be Green.
I vote for what is good for most people, in my opinion. An elected representative who doesn't intend to perform their role and responsibilities appropriately should be abhorrent to all, whatever their political leaning. I'm insufficiently acquainted with the local candidates atm but it can't be brexit reps. |

It’s true you’d want a ray pattison but you’ll end up with homer simpson as waste commissioner.
The simpson season 9 episode 22 - trash of the titans a good lesson in how we normally elect our leaders.

"What's the point in voting?.
Nobody in power takes a blind bit of notice anyhow."
Well if you set an impossible target you shouldn't be surprised that no one is capable of delivering on it.
The promise made by the Leave Campaign and by both Labour and the Conservatives in the following General Election was to Leave the EU with a deal better than we have now. In my opinion both, although the Conservatives more so, have tried to deliver that, the problem is no such deal exists.
The lesson to be learnt is not that no one in power takes a blind bit of notice, they've spent 3 years taking note of the referendum and trying to deliver on the mandate. The lesson to be learnt is that there is no point voting for what's not deliverable or possible because you'll never get it whether those in power are listening or not.

Put simply, in these Euro Elections, if you want to send a clear Remain message you must vote for a party that is clearly a Remain party. They are LibDems, Green, ChangeUK, SNP or Plaid. Labour is not a Remain party. Their current policy on BREXIT is to Leave.
That's the most important and simple message.
A little less clear but true, so needs to said is if you want to actually get the maximum number of Remain seats after these Euro Elections then in all regions in England for most voters the best bet is to vote for the LibDems; in Scotland SNP and in Wales Plaid.
The far more complex message is if you live in a Region with a sitting Green MEP and you voted Green last time then the best bet is to vote Green this time. However if you didn't vote Green last time and your voting tactically to get the maximum Remain seats the best bet is to vote LibDem. In explanation; if you have a sitting Green MEP who got the last seat in your Region then in order to get a chance of a second Green seat the Greens would have to double their vote, however if the LibDems just missed the seat last time then they may only need an increase of 10% to 30% to have a good chance of getting an extra seat for Remain. On the other hand if a lot of voters who voted Green last time switched to voting LibDem this time the most likely result would be the Green Remain seat being swapping for a LibDem Remainer seat and that's not what we want to achieve. It's important in order to stand the best chance of getting the maximum number of Remain seats that the Green vote holds up in areas where there is already a sitting Green MEP buy that most new or switching voters vote LibDem.
Finally the main message has to be to vote and vote for a Remain party. If you can't bring yourself to follow the voting advice to get the maximum number of Remain seats then vote for the Remain party you like best even if you don't think that party stands a chance of winning a seat. What ever you do don't stay at home, do go and vote. While seats matter what also matters is the total size of the Remain vote and whether it's more or less than the total number of votes for the BREXIT Party and UKIP. |

"Really can't be bothered to even vote. It,s a farce."
So take the time to add a box to the paper and vote 'NONE OF THEM!'
Remember the fuss a few hundred suchlike votes made in the local elections? Think of the effect half a million (or more) of similar votes would have on the press and establishment!
Do it for me, please. |

Choices here in Northern Ireland and bit different!
We have some hideously illiberal and then again sectarian choices so personally I will be voting green and alliance as they correspond most closely to my own values of diversity respect and staying in the EU. Plus the green leader Claire Bailey is smart and attractive and tough !!
