Introduction

Following the abject and ignominious failure of Brexit, we must now give a

a toss for the forthcoming EU elections, as they will have a significant impact on our

European future. This country's voting system, which enables the British public to

choose representatives for the European Union, cannot be taken lightly, as it has

seen numerous shortcomings.

Despite the successful referendum to leave the EU, many leave leaders have failed to

implement their promises and have merely watered down the initial idea. The reality is,

we can only fool the public for a few years, and the political landscape is ever-changing

as we prepare for the upcoming EU elections.

Understanding the Importance of Voting

While some may argue that their vote doesn’t matter, the fewer individuals who care

means that each vote counts for more. It is crucial to consider the implications of our

choices, especially in the context of the EU elections.

My own vote will be cast for the Brexit Party, as I believe in their stance, but the

question remains: who are the candidates and how should we choose?

The Segregation and Discrimination in EU Elections

It is important to note that the UK voting system has encountered significant issues,

such as the treatment of citizens in different regions. Northern Irish citizens, for

example, face discrimination based on their race and ethnicity, with separate

electoral websites and processes. This is a clear example of how the political

system fails to treat all citizens fairly.

Unfortunately, segregation in the political system goes beyond Northern Ireland, as

individuals are often left in the dark about the candidates and their platforms. The

Leave campaign, in particular, continues to influence public opinion and restrict

information, preventing voters from making informed decisions.

The Electoral System and Proportional Representation

The nature of proportional representation means that candidates do not need to win,

and many may not even be well-known. The system is often criticized for creating a

faceless and uninvolved political landscape, where individuals are merely voting

for a political party rather than a specific candidate.

Despite the unnecessarily complex electoral system, it is crucial to stay informed

and take part in the process. The European Union is a significant player in our

global context, and it is important to ensure that our representatives are in line

with our values and interests.

Conclusion

The upcoming EU elections offer a unique opportunity for citizens to have a say in

the direction of the European Union. While the voting system has faced criticisms,

it remains important to vote and make informed decisions. We must continue to

advocate for fairness, transparency, and accountability in both the UK and the EU.
