WDE.

i like that idea.

with the current abstention they might even be desperate enough to agree !

Didn't vote... I think i've become way too cynical to vote for anybody now

i always vote, but i do know what you mean... doesn't help the choosing either. i think there are a lot of people in your case ; they are talking about a 60% abstention rate.

40% voter turnout would be a record for EU elections here.

I'm looking forward to seeing the results though - I think it'll be fascinating to see how different parts of Europe vote.

wow, that's pretty terrible ! but i think i've heard worse... i can't remember which country it was (i have the radio on but i'm not really listening to it) but i think one country had 6% participation only !

I didn't vote this time round - it makes it the third election I've not voted in. The first was cos I forgot, the second was because I had to leave for work before the polling stations were open and ended up getting home after they'd closed, and this time I was ill. I feel guilty, but not as guilty as I would have done had we been having local as well as Euro elections

Idoine · 06-07-2009, 01:07 PM

It's done ! I made my duty and voted !

While I was in the bureau, I was the only one ! When I was getting out, I crossed a couple that went to vote. One hour from closure now. I don't think the participation rate will be great, neither !

zelda_pinwheel · 06-07-2009, 01:29 PM

i voted too !

luckily it stopped (mostly) raining so i didn't get wet. it was pretty quiet but there were a few other voters with me. the people running the voting said in our neighborhood we had about average participation, slightly higher than the national average.

now i'm going to make some hot soupe for dinner and relax a little while (to change from earlier this afternoon, when i was lounging

) try to go to bed early !

Just reading an Associated Press article that says the Swedish Pirate Party could get a couple of seats in the Euro elections.
