    So I'm interested in seeing who people are going to vote for in this upcoming election. I personally am going to be Voting UKIP. I hope that we can all share our own opinions without getting to hostile. It wouldn't let me poll for some reason.

    Sorry I don't really understand your question. Perhaps elaborate a little.

    I was asking when the Queen, on the advice of the PM, called the election.

    I'm not a resident of Europe, but my general impression would be:

    1. Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats- By far the most preferable. As a social democrat, I would be proud to support this alliance. I'm sure there are obvious exceptions to the rule, but overall, the alliance seems satisfactory.
    2. Greens-European Free Alliance- Pretty similar to me ideologically, but I dislike single issue parties.
    3. European United Left-Nordic Green Left- While I'm sure this alliance is well intentioned, democratic socialism is a bit too far to the left for my tastes. Although I could imagine myself supporting someone from EUL-NGL if the Socialist and Democrat candidate was too moderate.
    4. Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe- Far too moderate on the majority of the issues. Neoliberalism as a main plank is especially disheartening.
    5. European People's Party- Too far to the right, but at least they're pro-EU.
    6. European Conservatives and Reformists- Everything awful about EPP plus being Eurosceptic.
    7. Europe of Freedom and Democracy- Right Wing Populism in general is awful.
    8. Non-Inscrits- As I understand it, this alliance has a racist element.
