Next week-end, there are elections in Europe. Countries are starting on Thursday and ending on Sunday. Since I am not at home on the German election day I have already voted by letter.

Well... obviously you can tell that i am too young to vote but this is an issue that's always struck me as being stupid. My mum has always been against voting because it goes against her religion .. and this really does annoy me. Especially the fact that she is a woman and lots of people have fought hard to give her the right to vote. Seems to me that she's just being ignorant. Lots of people don't vote and then complain about who is elected. It doesn't make sense - if they don't vote then what do they expect.
God... adults

Will vote. Have been voting since I was 18. It seems though that my vote always goes to the loosers.

We have an all-postal vote in our area (for local elections as well) and have sent ours off.
It's a bit of a shambles and has been rushed I think. I can see many people having trouble with the ballot papers and not doing them correctly.
I think it's important to vote but there is too much emphasis on making people vote - if they can't be bothered to call in at the polling station can we imagine they will put much thought into who to vote for ?

Sure i´m going to vote. It took some time until i could vote after leaving the jw ten years ago, as i was still living with my jw - mom and she would accidentally/subconsciously get rid of my election notification card. it was quite funny to me that she wanted to keep me from "sinning".

Why? Europe is the best thing that ever happened to the South West as more priority 1 money than anywhere else in the UK.
