A MEETING of rival prospective MEPs, at Liverpool’s Bluecoat centre, urged members of the public not to vote for the British National Party (BNP).
Politicians from the Green Party, UK Independence Party, “No to EU†party and the Jury Team gathered for a public debate organised by the Public and Commercial Services Union.
Conservatives, Labour and Liberals failed to make an appearance, although Lib-Dem MEP Chris Davies did attend a similar event in Manchester.
An audience of around twenty people put revealing questions to the candidates.
Lifelong Liberal Cllr Steve Radford, representing the “No to EU†Party said he would lobby to bring down the institution he was seeking to be elected to, while Graham Ross said his Jury Team was not a political party but a “wisdom of the mobâ€.
All agreed that the electorate must not vote for the right-wing BNP, who were banned from the debate.
Green candidate Peter Craney said: “The BNP has been able to grow because New Labour walked away from the people they were elected to look after.
“Immigrants did not cause the credit crunch, and they did not fiddle the banking system.â€
