We are running three phone banks ahead of the European elections on June 4.

We will be phoning EU expats who have registered to vote in the UK for the European elections. We will remind them that a higher EU expat turn-out might prevent the BNP from winning seats.

Sessions are scheduled from 6pm to 8.30pm at a location in Central London on the following days

Wednesday May 27, Monday June 1 and Tuesday June 2

PES President Poul Nyrup Rasmussen slammed the EU for abandoning its ‘Jobs Summit’ – due tomorrow and replaced by a low profile ‘troika’ with the social partners – despite this week’s forecast that unemployment will reach almost 27 million next year.

EU voter phone bank flickr slide show

Jointly organised by London Labour & the Labour Movement for Europe
The aim is to get EU-expats to register on the electoral register and to vote in the European elections. May 19 is registration deadline. EU expats are 4 times more likely to participate in elections in their country of residence than the country they are citizens of. An increased EU voter participation will help decrease the chances of the extreme right BNP to win a London seat and also weaken other euro-sceptic and euro-phobic parties like UKIP, Libertas and the Tories. Training and a script will be provided.

Dates:        May 6, 12 and 14, 2009
