For details on all the parties, don't forget to click the EU Elections link at the top of the page and use the snazzy lightboxes ;) Indeed, Libertas are a cross-EU party too, which is pretty interesting.

And as of Libertas, its candidates have asked to shut down Ireland from EU immigrant workers which have, before the recession, had fuelled its growth. So it doesn't seem to me like a 'golden alternative'. Overall, some pretty lousy political analysis, Jason. “The EU is, as things stand, corrupt”

The problem is that there are something like 5 EU-specific parties running; UKIP is the most famous but the BNP might get votes too. I think there are some golden alternatives (no2eu and libertas) but we'll have to see who ends up with seats! It'll be interesting to see how they fare compared to the three main parties, anyway!

I used to be quite idealistic about the EU, but now it seems bloated, bureaucratic, corrupt, corporatist, anti-democratic and the opposite of the localism that we really need.
