I would have loved to stand for European Parliament however the £5000 deposit made it completely beyond my and many others reach. The old boys network keeping the lower classes were they belong .Its time for change , watch out ERYC Neils coming haha
Just a slight correction to this , Ray.
At this election, you only make ONE vote – for the PARTY that you wish to support. . Those party representatives will then be apportioned using a complicated proportional voting system.

Thank you very much for this Chris! The correct information is now published above.
