The elections to the European Parliament will take place in the coming days. A quote (freely translated) from an Austrian newspaper on the issue: “The European Union has developed a new and the most modern type to do politics. This cannot be refuted by the points that, firstly, it does not always work; secondly, not everybody knows about it; and thirdly, that corruption and fraud can occur no matter how much focus is laid on integrity and control”.
So I don’t care who you vote for or whether you stuff toilet paper in the envelope to show your disgust about certain national politicians – but not casting your (!) vote is not an option!
