    Think how I feel ?

    Too many fuckwitts in the NW have gone for Nick Griffin.

    Or is it too many fuckwitts didn't bother voting at all ?

    No, its the fault of voter apathy.

    Also dictators,facists and racists, while being socialogically flawed are
    generally clever educated people and know how to twists words to get the
    general people to agree with what they say.

    If you listened to the 1st BNP MEP speak, he was highly educated, an ex
    lecturer and managed to appear to make a point without mentioning the core
    BNP principles. In the past he was a member of the NF.

    Nick Griffin meanwhile does a good bash at the inverse racism, which a lot
    of no mark, I'm British, but do **** all and don't want to do **** all,
    fuckwitts will fall into.

    There may soon be an alternative way to waste your vote:

    D'oh. I wrongly assumed I had misquoted a jpg link and added a 'g'.

    Do you remember the time we went to Montmort-Lucy, and Le Pen had got past
    the first hurdle in the Presidential elections, and all the locals were
    really horrified and embarassed?

    So why do you think voters are apathetic? The main parties have very
    little difference between them ideologically, have shown themselves to
    be as corrupt as many believe them to be (yes, only a minority, but
    it's enough thanks to the media) and are *not engaging the public*.

    To (ab)use an old and oft-misused piece of doggerel, it doesn't matter
    who you vote for - the politicians still win. Once they're in,
    manifesto promises go out the window, and more and more odious and
    undemocratic pieces of legislation get passed (from recent experience,
    anyway).

    How many people feel that their MP genuinely represents their
    interests? Not many, I'd guess. As for voting against them, in the
    parliamentary constituency where I live (Penrith & The Border, MP
    David Maclean - Tory) they could stick a blue rosette on the rotting
    corpse of a pig and it would still get voted in.
    I'd like to think they are in a very small minority. It won't be long
    before we see Griffin's true colours, if we haven't already, and then
    hopefully people will understand what they've done.

    I think you just answered the your own question.
    By then it may be too late, once fear rules it runs riot. I don't like to
    harp back tothe '30s and '40s, but you have to look at what went on there
    and ask yourself why people followed like sheep ?

    So it's not the fault of the voters, it's the fault of the parties
    themselves. As I said originally.

    Indeed, but a NOTA option could theoretically have been built in to the
    euro elections setup. It makes some sense in a PR system.

    With PR/NOTA you could to help reduce the share of the vote for minority
    parties you don't want to see get seats without having to align with any
    party. TBF though, with so many options in the euro elections it's
    fairly easy to vote tactically without fear of actually electing
    anybody.

    The acid test would be whether such a schemes would increase turnout. My
    modest proposal is for compulsory PR elections with a NOTA option.

    As others have said, the BNP getting seats is part of the democratic
    process. I suspect that those that are particularly concerned by it
    don't relish the thought of them getting the funding which they now have
    access to.

    I went, but they didn't have me on the list. I'd sent in the forms,
    requesting my voting cards, I've been on the council tax for six
    months at this address .. what more do they want? Oh, also a bunch of
    fuckwits at the school I went to. "Can you get them to check my old
    address also?" when he was on phone. Fuckwit couldn't be bothered.

    <wiki>.jp is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for
    Japan. It is administered by the Japan Registry Service.

    At the establishment of the .jp domain the domain was administered by the
    JPNIC, as part of their role as an overseeing technical body for the
    Internet in Japan. However, due to the growing importance and size of
    the .jp registry, it was decided at the 11th General Meeting of JPNIC in
    December 2000 to create a new corporation that would manage the .jp
    domain. Thus, the Japan Registry Service was created, and on June 30,
    2003, officially assumed the duties of the .jp registry.

    ..jp registrations are only allowed if the registrant has a physical
    address in Japan.</wiki>

    When did Yorkshire move to Japan then? I think we should be told.

    Think about what "Top-level domain" might mean.

    Sorry, that was an attempt at humour. Not a very good one, I'll grant you.

    Seriously, I've not come across a .jp file extension before, can anyone
    elucidate?

    Not a file extension. It's an html file with 2 dots in the file name.
