So. The whole Le Pen thing in France. Holland has elections coming on, with Fortuyn's recent massive vicotry still fresh in people's memories. Elections in Belgium coming up next year as well, and the Vlaams Blok keeps up its steady rise.

I'm tempted to vote communist just to give the extreme right more counterweight. (I vote center-green now.)

Are we losing our minds, ladies and gentlemen?

Who's likely to win? I say you should vote for him - counterweight isn't that important, as long as we make sure extreme-right doesn't win.

I like to think I'm not, but I'm starting to think everyone else is, yeah?

Unfortunately, the conclusion I'm coming to, the more I watch things happening, is "yes".

It's rather depressing.

Hence the rant in my livejournal not too long ago.

I should get organised to vote in the US, I suppose. (The local polling station keeps sending me voting cards. I. Am. Not. British. I have checked, and verified, and told them: I cannot vote in this country. Freaks.)
