EU elections predictions!

proportional representation or public relations? lol, which do you mean Al, which DO you mean?

There is a simple reason why UK turnout is so low at euro elections. The UK is not part of Europe.

Nah, just noone here really cares.

UKIP is basically a protest vote party... they get votes from two sorts of people:

The U.K version of "Reagan Democrats"
The "Blue Rinse Brigade"

UK Independence Party will probably do well, it is because all of the people who vote for them feel passionately about getting out of Europe and so are among the likely voters.

So few people feel particularly strongly about the EU elections that we have very low turnouts, only the wackos vote in large numbers, so parties like the UKIP do well.
