They have elections in europe?
In the US you vote for what person you like, which results in a huge circus around the elections.
We dont have that circus, thats probably why you didnt know Europe also has elections.

i don't know. it's usually 10pm.
Not because I want to vote that much though, I'm just moving back home from uni and need to vote in my area.
The point stands though, when are they going to introduce internet voting?

i just went, a waste of time in n. ireland i know but at least i can say I VOTED.
btw how does that 1,2,3,4...... system work? i only voted for 2 parties do they get so many point for a first vote and so many for a second vote? not that the green party are going to get in but it would be nice to know pitting them second does something.

I'm firmly of the view that if you don't understand the system you shouldn't be allowed to vote. That's why i'm very glad i only had to put one X in one box.

I'm not sure how the 1,2,3,4 system works, I haven't voted in the European elections before.
I'll let you know if I get back in time, I think will have enough time, but I might cut it close, we'll see.
edit: damn, they are late.
