    European Parliamentary Elections

    Folks,

    Tomorrow, I'll be firmly ensconced at a local Polling Station where I've presided at each and every election - Municipal, General and European - since 1983. Hence the reason I am prevented from becoming too deeply involved in any political debate. Suffice to say, though, I very much doubt if we British as a whole will be likely to show any real interest in what is happening in European legislative affairs.

    Having said that, [too] many of our present-day laws are passed in Brussels, and so it is the collective responsibility of the UK electorate to cast aside its "natural" apathy towards this quinquennial event and participate to the fullest possible extent in order to ensure the maximum number of votes go to the candidate(s) best qualified to represent the interests of this country on the European stage.

    My dad always told me,never get involved with politics,religion,or another mans wife



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Best [for my sake] :HeadButter: if I reserve judgement on THAT particular issue. But, like everyone else, I have my own thoughts on the matter.
