European elections...

[Brista]

What are Europian elections usually like, auch as with issues and parties and other stuff like that?  This is from an american who doesn't pay much attention to US elections either.  Or any news areas like BBC that tell about elections?

You go down to the local school where some ghastly volunteers smile at you and hand out forms. You pick a party based on sentiment and prejudice and go home

Next morning you read in the paper that the party you voted for lost

So a bit like American elections really except without the electioneering
