The results from yesterdays EU elections will be announced on Sunday. Early indications are that UKIP are set to come out top; apart from London (where they might come in third). Pro-Europe Lib-Dems look set to come in fifth behind the Green Party. |

With apologies for the use of a great poem to mark a sad day I think if UKIP have done as well as expected. I personally mourn for the loss of good sense in this country. I truly believe small steps like this , if repeated, will bring this country to its knees ( and 'no' it isn't there yet...there's still time) and we will see the same rise of the far right as other countries are seeing that will, inevitably ( do we never learn?) lead to tragedy. |

I think the country needs a new political party ( but not necessarily UKIP). The Tories and Labour are too much alike. |

A lot of people don't vote, because they think it won't make any difference. |

We don't need a NEW political party - get rid of all political parties, reduce the number of MPs by half and only elect Independents. |

Well in spite of UKIP success at these elections they gained less seats that Labour did, they won fewer seats than the Lib Dems and they don't control any councils. |

We definitely need another box to tick - none of the above - to show what we (the voters) really think, |

Maybe its a wake up call for all parties and time to listen to the voters who are fed up of being ignored |

I always vote. Someone has to be in charge and I want my say in it even if my choice rarely gets in :-) |

So, the people have spoken, but will the politicians listen? |
