    I understand that

    I have no affinity with any party either. I don't feel strongly about any of 'em. I feel a lot of apathy to be honest. I'm still undecided who to vote for, so I'm going to have to do some last minute reading today. However, I am firmly against the policies of the BNP. Any vote I make will be a vote against them. Such a vote is particularly important in these European elections as the MEPs are elected under a proportional representation system. Every vote really does count. We should all use it.

    I'd love to vote but simply do not know of one party that I want in

    I do however know of one or maybe two that I definetly don't want just like yourself.

    i've said it for a long time that I think you should be able to vote for more than one party in a system where your first choice gets three votes and your second gets two or something. That way even if I wasn't sure whether I wanted labour or the tories (for example) but definetly knew I didn't want BNP in I could vote for both the major parties and therefore give them both extra votes against the BNP.

    Not sure how it would work to be honest but I think that with some working it could help solve the apathy.

    I'll be voting tomorrow and it won't be BNP or UKiP.

    While we all know about BNP but we shouldn't be fooled into wasting a vote on the UKiP. They are wasters who don't have any joint policy, they often vote against each other in votes, and 3 of the 12 who were elected last time have resigned from the party. Two for FRAUD!

    Still it's a question of who to vote for. It won't be BNP or Labour though.

    Maybe we should get one positive vote and one negative one

    The negative votes would be subtracted from the party's total. Not sure how that would pan out though. Would be interesting. For example, the two big parties may receive plenty of positive and negative votes, cancelling each other out and letting the Lib Dems or whoever in. Then again I suspect the results would be unaffected... except that the BNP would have an enormous negative total.

    Think the same as Anderson15 ... Why vote for a cheat and a liar just to say you have voted.
