Curse you OP, that tune's going to be playing through my head all day now!

/at least it's replacing this one

Also, the only thing more awesome than ACTA getting voted down is ACTA getting voted down 663-13. Booya.

It's times like these I am reassured there actually is sanity in the world, after all.

To be fair, the vote wasn't really about ACTA per-se. The vote was because the Parliament's role under the new EU constitution is greatly expanded, and the Ministers are still practically ignoring them. Before, they could get away with that. Now, this is the first move in "no, you can't".

(Oh, I think they'd of still voted against it, but probably more like 400-250 given the party setup)

I have a felling of deja vu

Way to go for our Europeans deputy, once again, they show more common sense than others.
