EU: The Center Holds

 

It would be really nice if we Americans could emulate the Europeans and hold our elections on Sundays. (Or at least make Election Day a national holiday.) Either way, more people voting is a good thing. And speaking of Sunday elections, today's results for the European Union Parliament are encouraging (okay, except for France). Polls predicted the far right would capture 20 percent of the seats, but it looks like they'll end up with less than 10 percent. Excellent news, and a reminder of the fallibility of polling, yes? We cats PURR.
