Elections!

Happy voting to all my fellow Europeans! Sully linked to election jokes doing the rounds in Iran, and I found this one particularly apt considering the current political climate here in the UK:

"Between bad and worse, we choose bad and participate in the election."

Although this one (an e-mail joke) made me laugh more:

"The Election Commission has announced in its last statement regarding the election that writing names such as monkey, traitor, fascist, silly, and [expletive] on the ballots will be considered a vote for Ahmadinejad."

Nice to see that people are equally disenchanted with their governments everywhere.

It is, isn't it? Having grown up in a TINY place, I can assure you that even when everyone knows (/is related to) everyone, politicians are a breed apart.

The vote is on Sunday in France. Abstention will probably be very high, which is an absolute shame. I'm very angry with all the French politic parties ; they're not doing their job at all. Almost nothing in their respective electoral campaigns is really about Europe : you don't know what they really want for EU, domestic quarrels are so much more interesting and important to them. Really the lack of quality our politicians demonstrate is appalling.

EU is such a great dream and ambition and it's being put down by a group of morons.Fumes!

Same here, since we have the same problem - the party in power has only gone downhill, and the opposition is... well. ('Vote for change!' said the leaflet we got through the letterbox. Nice try, but David Cameron ain't Obama.) And ALL parties are deeply mired in a HUGE expenses row, with ministers resigning left, right and centre because they fiddled their accounts. (There was one who built a *moat* with taxpayers' money!)

Exactly. Because of the EU I can live and work in the UK with no problems - no visa or anything. I just live here. *cheers for the EU*

He was wiser than he knew. He'll need it to protect himself when the revolutionary mob comes around waving pitchforks. :-)

LOL! Although I wonder where the duck island fits into that...
