Entries tagged with “European elections” from Working For Walthamstow

The European elections will be on 4 June 2009. As the number of seats a party gets is dependent on a percentage of votes cast, there is a danger if turnout is low that the British National Party may win seats in our European parliament. If you, like me, find the idea of them having such a platform and public funding to spread their hatred then please join me in campaigning to stop this happening. They only have to get 8.5 per cent of all the votes cast across London to win a seat and every vote across London will count towards the final total. This is a non- partisan campaign to raise awareness of the importance of participating in the Euro election ballot to ensure that turn out is high enough. You can sign up on-line to help or join our community led activities here in Walthamstow. We're looking for people to help with this so please get in touch if you would like to be involved.
