Around 1 in 3 people voted in the last European Election. Which means that 2 out of over 3 people didn’t have a say.
Why is that?
There are lots of reasons given but my suggestion is this:
Politics is boring. Very. Very. Boring.
There are 10 parties standing for the East of England seats in the 2014 European Elections. They will all have views on everything, and many already have their manifestos printed. So that’s 10x dull political documents to read.
Can you really really be bothered?
Of course this is where local media comes in, giving equal time to each party to talk to us about the issues that Europe decides on….. blaaaaaaah blah blah. BORING!! So what am I going to do?
I’m going to give you the information without having read or listen to a single one of them. All they get to say is YES or NO.
I’m not sure how many will refuse to answer (they are politicians after all) but let’s give it a go.
So what to ask?
This is where you come in. I want your questions about:
1. policies that the EU controls (animal rights, the environment, transport, immigration, etc)
2. personal moral issues for the lead candidate (issues that are non negotiable for you)
Some suggestions so far include:
Should the A47 be made into a dual carriage way along its length?
Have we done enough to stop the banking crisis from happening again?
Should churches / faith groups be kept separate from governments?
Do you think that climate change is a real threat to people in West Norfolk and Wisbech?
Email me your questions, to news@klfm967.co.uk or tweet me @emily_news
I’ll pick the best ones and then bring you the answers.
