4th June is European Polling Day

by timpickstone on 3 June, 2009

Tomorrow is polling day for the European Election and several key Borough by-elections.

European elections have traditionally been low-key and largely ignored by the press, this time they are mentioned in
every news bulletin, and the media have begun to notice that the Lib Dems do have unique selling points.

Sunday’s Observer leader says

This Thursday’s vote is being held in a uniquely febrile climate. It should be about Europe; it will be about the expenses scandal. On both counts, it is a moment to reward the principled consistency of the Liberal
Democrats.

And in yesterday’s Guardian

The case for supporting the Liberal Democrats is now very strong. People should remember, too, that on two other great crises – the debt-driven collapse of high finance and climate change – the Lib Dems led the way.”

Remember, due to the list system used in the European election, the difference between electing Helen Foster-Grime as our second Lib Dem MEP, or the BNP’s odious Nick Griffin may come down to just a handful of votes!
