I just read some article about the election for the EU parliament. The parliament has a strong effect for EU, but people don’t really have interests, the article says. I’m just studying these things, so I’m still not sure about EU system (OMG, EU/Europe is always complicated for Politics & History both!!). However, if people don’t show any interests for this vote because they can’t have any hope for their government & EU group, it’s seems problem… (And, we, Japan has also similar problem. I think when we are in economic crisis, we have to pay attention for our country…rather than usual time) (No, I can’t believe the unemployment average rate in EU is over 9% now! Whole world looks like they’re getting bad flu..;;)

I hope this election for the EU parliament will be proper way, seriously.

People should be more interested in the future of their country, seriously! I just saw on the news that if in 2004 the affluence was of about 40%, this year is 30%, really low affluence... and I already saw that in Holland won the xenophobe party =_= it's such a bad situation! like we didn't go down enough with the second world war.
(In Italy the unenployement rate is of 12%, they announced it a few days ago! ) (we're also considered partially free in the press... look at this we're the only yellow country in western europe, I'm so ashamed!)

let's hope for something good in the future.

Few hours later, almost half of result will be known. Many news say “EU system loses the public support” from the result of this election. I don’t really think EU system itself has critical problem, but… not sure, Europe is like an creature, there are many factors for their complicated relationship. I just hope if EU Parliament has really strong authority, this election will be able to have “appropriate” members to solve current problems. (Seriously, I hope so because EU movement also effects for Japan ( ... )
