Vote Positively Today!

The United Kingdom is the first of the 27 EU member states to go to the polls in the European elections, against an extraordinary background of governmental meltdown. Many voters will doubtless show their disapproval of Gordon Brown — and understandbly so — but more important, this is the opportunity for them to assert a belief in the need for closer cooperation between Britain and its EU partners in vital areas such as emerging from the recession, combatting climate change and tackling trans-border crime. Nick Clegg, the LibDem leader, spoke eloquently about all this on Newnsight last night and the party has been putting its positive message across during the campaign. It is vital that there is a good turnout in the European elections today and that sufficient voters back the Liberal Democrats to give Britain a strong, constructive voice in the European Parliament, in contrast to the destructive shrillness of UKIP and the Cameron Conservatives, who have turned themselves into UKIP-lite.
