7 march 2007 elections
So we've had elections again.
Our political system is interesting.
We have national elections to choose the parties that will represent us in parliament... de "second room", literally translated.
And we have elections to choose the members of the regions/counties... who choose the members of the "First Room", those who control and comment the new articles of law.
Well, it's not easy to explain, so I'll leave it to that.
Many people consider the regional elections as less important.
Well, we think one has to use the vote we have.
One of the boys had to vote for the first time.
He didn't know what to do, so we had many talks about it with him.
This morning we all went ...
The results of the elections aren't in completely yet, but the outcome is as we expected.
Loss for the parties that are running the government and a gain for the party that should have been in the government.
The coming time will be very interesting.
