I know this sounds a bit boring, but today I'll be exercising my democratic right to elect representatives for London to the European Parliament. It pains me to admit that this lifelong Labour voter will not be voting Labour this time round, in the light of the expenses scandal at Westminster. Cameron's Tories won't be getting my vote either because no amount of spin can disguise their lack of ideas, or their devotion to the same Neo-Con ideology that characterised their brothers and sisters in the Republican party.
Fewer Brittons voted in the last Euro Elections in 2004 than those who voted in the final of Big Brother later that year. This time over 16m people voted in the final of Britain's Got Talent. It would be a shame if fewer people voted in this election. If you want to give the government a kicking over recent events, by all means vote Tory, LibDems, Green, SNP, Plaid Cymru or UKip. The option of staying at home is not an option as a low turnout only benefits the BNP.
In 2 days time we commemorate the 65th anniversary of the noble sacrifices made by Allied Forces to liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny. It would be an insult to the memory of those veterans if a low turnout resulted in the heirs of Hitler and Mussolini sending MEP to the European Parliament
