European elections...

There are European elections?

Granted, we're not a part of the European Union here in Norway, but I didn't realise those who were voted on communal "thingies."

I can't speak for the rest of the Europeans here on the board, but I know most Norwegians have a closer tie with the US than "the continent". (We call it this, as we're a peninsula on top of the continent, and not really a part of it, geographically nor politically.)

I partake in local elections even though I am anti-political, just so I won't be a part of that statistic that is the lazy, lay-about generation x. Alright, that's a lie, I *did* in fact vote this year, but I hadn't planned to. My mother sent me out for milk and said "make sure to vote on your way there." I didn't have the energy to argue with her, so I went to the local voting-thing and did my civic duty. (And when I came home, I discovered we already had milk in the fridge. My mother is evil. I know this know.)

edit:

About knowledge on elections and such. I've studied the American election system (the Electoral college thing) and I feel I have a grasp of it, to an extent. I have virtually no idea how the system works here in Norway. I don't even know how the political system works in Norway, let alone other European countries.
