Vote against the EU, vote ‘none of the above’!

10-04-2004 20:53

The European elections will be held in the Netherlands on the 10th of June 2004. On this date (and on the 13th of June in some other countries) the European Union (EU) member states will each elect their share of 736 parliamentary seats. The number of seats a country gets depends on the amount of inhabitants in that particular country. During the last European elections, only thirty percent of the Dutch electorate bothered to vote. The media and politicians blame the low turnout mainly on voter disinterest and laziness. People are also supposedly not aware of what the European Union means for them.
The text below is by Dusnieworld, the global working group of the Eurodusnie collective based in Leiden, the Netherlands. Dusnieworld urges people to vote in the upcoming EU elections, however not for a political party, but for ‘none of the above’.
