EU ELECTIONS THREAD…

Right. It’s time for a new thread to discuss BBC coverage of the EUROPEAN elections results as they roll in! I see the Front National have topped the poll in France…

    I think with the success of UKIP we will see a rise of Hard Left street violence. I suspect the BBC will latch on to it and use it to intimidate UKIP and their supporters.

    Tim Farron(no, me neither) was blathering away to Dimblebys Counselling hotline for the fey bewildered last night…his was the yellow hotline.
    He did say that he had been “hoping for something more than nothing” by way of electoral seats in the election after all these years!
    Oh the ambition!
    Soon after they got their one and only seat…the fightback begins!…look out Pladi Cymru!
    Maybe more of us should “hope now for something more than nothing”…Bill Gates would say the same I`m sure.
    Still the Fib Dummies should be happy-they want to be ruled from Brussels without any need to do anything .
    Mission accomplished…come on Timbo!

      Sadly, Tim Farron may retain his South Lakeland seat in 2015. He is a very popular local MP and has been relentlessly fearmongering amongst the many small businesses in South Lakeland, that rely on tourism, that pulling out of the EU would be disastrous for tourism and their businesses.

      He is one of the few LibDems that will probably be returned to the Commons in 2015, even if the LibDems only get about 8% of the national vote.

      I really hope that the tories do better than expected, and UKIP take loads of labour votes and can become the balance of power in 2015, and then ensure that we get an honest referendum choice between a Federal United States of Europe or out.

      The tory bait and switch con is not fooling me.

    Last night a BBC reporter was saying that he ‘couldn’t’ describe the handling of the vote count at Tower Hamlets as a ‘shambles’.

    One wonders why he felt so restrained in this regard?

    I wont say wether my vote for UKIP is a protest. If they think were only protesting they will not change anything. They will simply carry on as usual thinking that it will all come back to normal next year.

    They should be made to stew for the next 12 months. Besides, a lot can happen to make things change either way.
    If they keep thinking that it’s just a kick up the back side and carry on regardless I hope they realy live to regret it.

      Actually I think they will do something. It only takes a small percentage change in some swing constituencies to alter the result. What they will do is try either to make promises they have no intention of keeping (e.g. Lisbon Treaty referendum) or calculate the barest minimum they have to move to call the bluff of their core vote. I think we will get something, however for me it will not be enough.

          Back in 2011 when UKIP were at about 5-7% in the polls, the BBC’s coverage of UKIP was rather favourable. They wanted UKIP to split the tory vote.

          As soon as UKIP were up to about 20% and seriously challenging labour in their heartlands, the BBC then considered UKIP to be the devil incarnate.

          Clear BBC bias right there.

    I noted during the BBC EU Election coverage that someone mentioned the similar names on ballet paper :
    UK Independence Party
    An Independence From Europe Party
    I thought that such similar party names is so likely to cause a lot of confusion and possibly cause a travesty of democracy and apparently so did Nige:

    http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/05/26/EXCLUSIVE-Electoral-Commission-Claimed-UKIP-Spoiler-Party-Name-Was-Sufficiently-Different

    Unfortunately if caught my partner out and therefore complaint gone in:

    Dear Electoral Commission,

    Re: EU ELECTION 22 MAY 2014 – CONFUSING BALLET PAPER (SIMILAR NAMES)

    I was most alarmed to discover on my EU ballot paper that there was a very confusing, similar party name, to the one I wished to vote for listed, which I nearly inadvertently voted for.

    The similar party names were:

    UK Independence Party (UKIP)
    An Independence from Europe Party (UK Independence now).

    I personally saw through this confusion and I did vote for the party of my desire. However my partner has let me know she was subject to the same obvious similarity which resulted in her inadvertently voting for the wrong party.

    Could you please explain to me why you allowed this so similar name, to an established party, appear on the ballot paper?

    I do believe this obvious similarity could result in the distortion of the electorate intended vote.
    This would be such a travesty for our proud and ancient democracy that I spent 25 years military service defending and is, in my view, a serious dereliction of Electoral oversight.

    So much so, I wish to raise this with my Member of Parliament and would therefore please request you inform me of the full facts of how this similarity was allowed, particularly who made the decision.

    I am willing to deal with this matter by email.

    Yours sincerely,

    I think it is silly for Nigel Farage to call for the abolition of the Electoral Commission. We need such a body – but it needs to be strong, effective, and unbiased.

    It is the decisions of the Commission that need attack – I think there should be an ex post facto lega;l case because the “fraudulent” name that appeared at the top of the ballot paper should have been rejected by the Commission because it was obviously designed to mislead potential UKIP voters. An obscure “name” attracted 1.5% of the national vote and lost 2 MEP seats for UKIP.

    Also, the Commission’s performance on issues like stricter postal voting and intimidation outside polling stations has been pathetic.

    Could this be a reason :

    “Jenny Watson (born 25 Jan 1964) is the chairperson of the United Kingdom Electoral Commission. A long term campaigner for women’s rights, she had a 20+ year career in the not for profit sector. She started out at Liberty,[2] and then political campaigners Charter88, before moving to Victim Support. She is a former Chair of the Fawcett Society, a not-for-profit organisation campaigning for equality between women and men.

    Watson was the last chair of the Equal Opportunities Commission before the creation of the Commission for Equality and Human Rights, having been first appointed as a commissioner in 1999, and deputy chair from 2000. She was deputy chairman of the Banking Code Standards Board, and of the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management.

    […]

    Watson was appointed the second chair of the Electoral Commission in January 2009.[2] She is paid £100,000 for a role which requires her to work three days a week.]”

    A comment at Breitbart : “Reads like the typical CV of a tax-guzzling Labour crony who has never done an honest day’s work in her life yet manages to cram improbable sums of public money into her trouser suits.

    I believe this decision was a deliberate attempt to harm UKIP by a body that is meant to ensure the democratic integrity of our elections.

    Jenny the amazing tax-fatted woman should be facing a judicial inquiry and then sacked.”

    BBC bias in local news has reached bizarre heights with the UKIP victory. Look North started with a rather down beat report about the Libdem MEP who defected from the Tories after the last election, who lost his seat and was very bitter about the UKIP “Luddites“. Apart from two elderly people, one with poor memory, and another who said he would not like UKIP to be voted into power, most of the BBC coverage was opinion from within the BBC bubble, which started with a rather patronising posh moron telling me that the reason why I had voted UKIP, was because I fear foreigners. No appearance or mention of Libertarian Mensa members overwhelmingly voting UKIP. So I assumed that the reason that the BBC did not show any of the elected UKIP MEP,s was because that would have damaged the BBC,s narrative, what with Jane Collins being a woman and Amjad Bashir being an Asian, but then they did appear on ITV, they even had an intellectual on ITV who admitted that UKIP was a Libertarian party.

    Anyway, BBC, we have got our revenge, Libertarian Mensa members now know that it will be announced in the Autumn, that the Licence Fee is to be abolished.

    The trouble now is, if you take at face value the voting movements across all parties, just who is going to stop the Labour Party getting in by default at the General Election next year? Will UKIP even have an election manifesto in place and a credible *front bench* to sell to the electorate?

      UKIP’s economic policies are being independently vetted and “peer reviewed” by expert economists and make of that what you will. I know if you put 10 economists in a room, you will get 11 opinions, but at least it will allow UKIP to claim that they have had their sums checked and that they add up.

      Labour have no room to talk on economics after they achieved a 165 Billion pound black hole in their finances in 2009 alone.

    Remember the Farage/Clegg debates? The ones many media pundits called for Clegg even though the majority of listeners called it for Farage? How the EU was fully debated and how well Farage resonated with the public? Remember the balanced studio audiences supporting both sides? Remember the British Indian woman after the first debate who was rethinking her views as she realised UKIP would put Indian immigrants on a level playing field with Europe? How long ago it seems.
    Then what happened…
    With the BBC prominent we had saturation coverage and discussion on how racist/sexist/homophobic etc UKIP was. And absolutely NO debate about EU issues. Nothing about the CAP, EU funding, the Euro, accession countries, trade discussions, Financial Transaction Tax, fisheries policy, science policy, EU foreign policy, treaty changes etc. Even though the elections were for the European Parliament it was reduced to a shouting match with UKIP’s opponents shouting ‘racist’.
    Then after the election where 2/3rds didn’t vote the pundits talk about ‘earthquakes’ as parties get 20-30% of 30-40% turnout, and few people really understand what the European Parliament does.
    One thing remains the same though every time the public votes. After election day we have the same monopolistic tax funded state broadcaster to steer the debate as it gets it ‘about right’ again and again. I wonder how QT and AQ will go this week?

    Unfortunately Flexdream, the result of the European Elections concerning the success of UKIP, is manna from Heaven for the Labour Party and the BBC. All the BBC has to do now for 12 months is not to report on anything the Labour Party does or says and continue with the constant drip drip of miss-information and attacks at the other parties. Job done and the Socialists get the power once more. Thus the BBC will get it “about right” for the Labour Party.

      As I’d pointed out, all the BBC needs is to maintain the split in the non-Socialist vote to ensure a Miliband majority – on a 30-32% share of the vote.

      Labour’s iron grip on their metropolitan and urban bedrock shows little sign of loosening, so that’s 220-240 seats in the bag for them there. UKIP may poll many votes there, but not enough to turn it into seats.

      The most serious case is the 80-100 marginal seats where Labour are second to the Conservatives. It is there where UKIP could split the non-Socialist vote in such a way to get a results like Lab 12,000 – Con 11,000 – UKIP 9,000 – LD 4,000.

      In other words, 20,000 votes would be cast for ‘right’ parties and 16,000 for ‘left’ parties, but with a ‘left’ MP being returned.

        For whatever it is worth I saw someone described vaguely as an ex Labour adviser who called the next election for the Conservatives. They are four years into their term of office, and are hardly at their most popular. The opposition should be doing very well at this stage. In the event Labour only just scraped into second place when they should have romped home ahead of the Conservatives. The adviser’s reckoning is that the proportion of UKIP voters who defect back to their old party allegiances for the general election will benefit the Conservatives more than Labour. The Conservatives are also being assisted by some signs of the economy perking up.

        Someone during the election coverage made the observation that as a general election draws closer, incumbent governments often recover some of the ground they have lost to the opposition (perhaps due to the same sort of last minute panic from Conservative supporters that did for Kinnock in the 92 election). Also, I know it isn’t really a scientific factor, but Ed Milliband is such a phenomenal dick it is hard to see him navigating through the next eleven months without crashing into the furniture so often it will be a gift to a teflon android like Cameron. Clegg will probably be spending so much time in psychiatric counselling he won’t really be in any position to create a downside for the Conservatives, while the Lib Dems will likely continue to act as flypaper for all of the grievances the electorate have. Clegg will also be spending a lot of time looking over his shoulder after hearing the scraping sounds of long knives being drawn behind him. Paddy Ashdown’s astonishingly surreal, gushing endorsement of Clegg (post election train crash) suggests to me that his days are severely numbered.

      Happily, it appears the more they try this, the more people who are sick of being a convenience for the established parties and status quo media like the BBC, veer towards UKIP. It was evident from watching the election post-mortem from the standpoint of the establishment, they don’t (with the odd exception), have any coherent explanation for what has happened. Instead they continue to regurgitate the “we failed to get our message across” line by way of an excuse. Actually, I think they got their message across loud and clear. If any of the establishment had been paying attention, they would have seen how their message was both understood and rejected by a growing segment of the electorate.

      Predictably, each of the main parties have been doing the sleight-of-hand trick now of trying to distract the audience from where the deception is happening, to some pretty, glittery things away from the action. Cameron is trying to make it appear that somehow the EU is up for reform when all that will happen is that EU grandees will make soothing noises for a while and then renege on any undertakings they have given to “look at” reform. Clegg and the Lib Dems have their collective head wedged firmly into a bucket of sand, and are still congratulating themselves about “making the case for Europe” while a growing proportion of electorates across Europe are make the case for the opposite. As for Labour……what is there left that anyone can say about the party of denial? They should have romped home ahead of the Conservatives, and instead they barely scraped past them on the final straight in the run-up to the line. If I were a Conservative supporter I’d take a lot of comfort from how close a race they gave Labour. Labour’s biggest handicap is Ed Milliband. I’m old enough to remember an American TV show called “Mister Ed”. It was based on the premise of a talking horse who, perhaps not surprisingly, would introduce himself at the beginning of each show by saying “Hello…..I’m Mister Ed”. There is something of Mister Ed about Milliband, though I do think the horse would have made by far the better politician:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GAbc5uQXJo (for anyone vaguely interested)

      Whenever I listen to Ed Milliband I just want to clamp my hands over my ears. How far have we fallen as a nation when there is even the vaguest possibility of a complete knob like Milliband being elected as Prime Minister? Ed’s answer to the message the electorate has sent is we need to boost the economy…..oh and by the way – still no referendum. Ed Knows better than you where his meal ticket is.

    E.U:-

    BBC-NUJ-“Leaders agree to review EU agenda at Brussels summit”

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-27599171

    As with E.U’s unelected bureaucrats, BBC-NUJ will continue in political denial mode and propagandise for:-
    1.) more mass immigration from Islamic countries so as to speed up the conversion of Europe into Eurabia;

    2.) more federalising powers for E.U bureaucrats, so as to end national sovereignty;

    3.) more campaigning for 80 million Muslim Turks to get entry to E.U.

    I was slightly curious about the Tower Hamlet council results. All I heard was that “Labour no longer retain overall controll”. My curiosity overcame my lack of computer skills. Turns out the second largest party is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_Hamlets_First
    Funny I didn’t hear anything about this on TV still after a hard day of moving boxes all I want to do is sit down with a mild and bitter a copy of the Sun & watch Eastenders all this politics stuff makes my brane hurt.
