Presseportal: Campact e.V. - Emnid-Umfrage zu Genmais-Verbot: CSU droht Fiasko bei der Europawahl!		Press portal: Campact eV - Emnid poll on GM maize ban: CSU threatened by fiasco in the European elections!
Berlin (ots) - Sollte Bundeslandwirtschaftsministerin Ilse Aigner ein Verbot von Gen-Mais MON810 in der Bundesregierung nicht durchsetzen, könnte dies zu einem Fiasko für die CSU bei den Europawahlen Anfang Juni führen. Dies zeigt eine vom Online-Netzwerk Campact in Auftrag gegebene repräsentative Emnid-Meinungsumfrage unter 534 bayerischen Bürger/innen. 77 Prozent der bayerischen Bevölkerung und sogar 79 Prozent der CSU-Wähler glauben, dass es der CSU in Bayern bei der bevorstehenden Europawahl Wählerstimmen kosten wird, sollte Aigner Gen-Mais nicht bis zur Aussaat Mitte April verbieten.		Berlin (ots) - Should Federal Agricultural Minister Ilse Aigner fail to get her way with a ban on GM maize MON810 in the Federal Government, that could lead to a fiasco for the CSU [Bavaria's Christian Socialists] in the European elections in early June. This is shown by an Emnid opinion poll on a representative sample of 534 Bavarians, commissioned by the on-line network Campact. 77 percent of the Bavarian population and even 79 percent of CSU voters believe that the CSU would lose voters in Bavaria in the forthcoming European elections, should Aigner fail to forbid GM maize by the time of sowing in mid-April.
Bei einem Verbot kann sich die CSU einer breiten öffentlichen Unterstützung sicher sein. 72 Prozent aller Bayern und 76 Prozent aller CSU-Wähler/innen fordern von Frau Aigner, die Aussaat von MON810 durch ein Verbot zu verhindern. Selbst 59 Prozent der FDP-Wähler schließen sich dieser Position an.		In the case of a ban, the CSU can be certain of a wide support. 72 percent of all Bavarians and 76 percent of all CSU-voters call on Mrs Aigner to prevent the sowing of MON810 with a ban. Even 59 percent of the FDP voters [(neo)liberals] line up behind this position.

BBC NEWS | UK | BNP 'threat' to Labour in Europe

The British National Party could pose a major threat to Labour in the upcoming European elections, Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman has said.
The BNP "are a bigger threat than they have been before", she told the Independent newspaper in an interview.
She also outlined Labour's efforts to counter the BNP ahead of elections for the European Parliament in June.
Labour is "focused on the BNP in this election in a way it hasn't been previously," she added.
'Below the radar'
Labour is using the slogan "fairness not fear" in areas where there is heavy BNP activity, instead of its national banner "winning the fight for Britain's future".

The labout party's indifference to poverty issues has simply fed this problem. Now they claim they are uniquely placed to fight the very probelm they caused, kinda sound like Brown claiming he is able to fight the financial issues resulting from his stewardship of the treasury.

Why do trouble causers believe they make peace ?

WalesOnline - News - Wales News - `Wales would be better off as an independent state in EU'

SMALLER nations than Wales are thriving in the European Union as independent states - and we should follow their examples, a leading Plaid Cymru figure has claimed.
MEP Jill Evans' election a decade ago was a watershed moment for Plaid and this year her Labour and Conservative counterparts are stepping down.
She does not believe that her party's renewed emphasis on independence will damage her electoral chances when she faces fresh challengers at the ballot box in June.
Describing the difference independence would make to Wales' status in the EU, she said: "We have four MEPs - we'd have about 12. We'd have our own commissioner and we'd be voting in the Council of Ministers."
She continued: "When you say to people that six of the 27 member states are smaller than Wales, people are really shocked by that... It becomes clearer to people we'd be much better off as an independent member of the European Union."
