Voting

I got to my local polling station at Margate bowls club in good time this morning, very nice there too, certainly a bit more up market than the building in St Paul's Road Cliftonville where they normally set these things up. I almost felt I was voting in a posh part of Thanet!

Although I knew who I was going to vote for in the local KCC election I did have a problem with the European vote and voting for the same party, I am a long term Euro-sceptic and I certainly could not vote for any party that supports the European union in it's present state and refuses to give the British public a referendum on the EU reform treaty.

It seems power in Europe is increasingly concentrated in the hands of unelected people we can't get rid of, even the MEP's are not individually elected, we have to vote for a political party then the party decides who the candidates are. Even the central Bank in Frankfurt is unelected.

This all boils down to a gradual erosion of British democracy taking place and if we are not careful a creation of an undemocratic Europe we will be stuck with until it predictably self implodes .
