Exactly as they all have a right to vote for whoever they are going to vote for and for this to happen again is inexcusable.

It's not as if a persons vote counts for anything anymore,others will just try to over rule the outcome.

The whole vote will have to be rerun [if the brexit party do well] your unwitting intervention may have broken the election rules ........................................

Re: Brexit
Voted, here and in real life, for the Brexit Party.
On a side note, the stupid De Hondt system operates a closed list so it’s impossible to express a preference for a particular candidate within one’s chosen party. Individuals are appointed from the top of the list downwards. Given that the whole point of PR is that it’s meant to be more democratic, it’s odd that this particular version of it actually gives more power to party managers at the expense of voters.

First time i’ve ever voted in EU elections, I noticed that, there were 6 names next to the party I voted for.

Yes, it would be boring if we all agreed with each other but I won't have you having a go at others and accuse them of lying when you also keep posting misinformation or saying something as fact, when it is not a fact at all. |
Where am I "having a go" and accusing someone of lying?
I am not quite sure what you are threatening me with here. I describe things as I see them. I am quite happy to debate the rationale behind my position.

When they decide how many seats each party gets, they are allocated to the names on the list from the top down. The names are there for information only as you can’t express a preference for one of them.
There is a version of De Hondt that operates an open list, so you can influence the order in which party candidates get a seat. It’s more democratic and potentially improves the connection between candidates and voters, but it makes the counting process doubly complicated.

I thought nothing was allowed that could influence the vote in other countries that don't vote up until Sunday.

Re: Brexit
I went and voted today at about 6pm, I asked how turn out had been, and he told me that only 66 had turned up to vote out of 1,200 registered voters.

Re: Brexit
Exit polls cost a fortune. They only happen when enough people give a toss for it to be worth Sky, the BBC and ITV’s while to club together.
I suspect Prof. Curtice will have done some number crunching off his own bat anyway. We may get some data over the next 24 hours.
