Voting insanity

[VectraMan]

Small green piece of paper with five candidates for the local election, and a triple A4 sized behemoth of a voting slip for the 25 odd candidates for the European bit that took some folding and was difficult to get through the slot into the ballot box.

Is this a good sign for democracy? It can only mean a lot more people getting confused or just plain bored and voting for the wrong party.

Ah, PR, invented by a n Englishman. Used in many countries around the world, many of which have a better electorate turnout than the UK. Maybe they don't find it confusing?

You still only get one vote in the EU elections. It shouldn't be difficult for anyone other than a cretin.

I think he's talking about the sheer number of people standing, it's atypical.
