| Post subject: | UKIP Griping about ballot papers |
UKIP are complaining that the Euro ballot papers were long and folded, and because of this voters were complaining that they could not be found. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8084086.stm Perhaps calling themselves AAA1UKIP would get them a better placing on the ballot paper. Mind you, I have not heard UKIP doing anything other than complaining, so I guess it’s the nature of the beast. Shame they could not hide the other Xenophic parties with strategic folding too. There were far too many on my ballot paper. |

My paper was handed to me unfolded, like a humorously long shopping list or perhaps a prop from Harry Potter. I think it speaks volumes about the UKIPs supporters if they fail to locate the party on an alphabetically listed piece of paper... |

It was a comically long bit of paper, I must admit. If you wanted to vote UKIP, surely you'd just look up and down the paper until you found it? A bit of a bollox complaint, methinks. |

in some areas the ballot paper was folded twice the second fold was to or seems too hide the UKIP entry at the bottom of the ballot paper  link to BBC video … http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8084086.stm |

My paper had about 3 creases in it - and come on, if you're going to vote UKIP and can't locate it the party in an alphabetic list because of a folded piece of paper, you're hardly trying are you? |

They are complaining again??? So they are saying voters are so stupid that they can't open up a piece of paper to find the party they want? Pifff |

my ballot paper was handed to me unfolded as it should be in all cases i fold the paper after voting and for some this is the first time they walked in to a voting centre its about all things being equal and above board or at least to be seen to be above board … |

It's probably a good thing that were so many extreme parties running, it splits the vote more.

Mine was folded, much like that picture. I unfolded it. It wasn't difficult. |
