I'll vote on the commies.

I'm not sure on wish of the parties: Portuguese Communist Party or Left Bloc, but both belong to that European faction.

I can't vote (NOT FAIR :mad: ) but I'd vote EPP-ED despite how funny the acronyms sound.

I'm voting for European Socialists. They have a guy I've always liked running from the first position on their list in Warsaw (and who is cute, too). :P

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

A four way tie so far...you have to love parliamentary elections.

Anyway I cannot vote but if I did I would vote for those Liberal people.

Which party will protect Europe from the Turkish menace?  :unsure:
All of them. :D

We're off to a good start.   :)

Who hates Israel the most?

Yeah, probably. But you have a safer bet if you choose the nationalists or the anti-EU.

That's a non-issue over here though. I believe we are somewhat sympathetic to the Turkish entrance in the EU.

Well, it's the same with Israel as with Turkey.

With Turkey: the right hates it because they are muslim. The left hates it because they are conservative and steal jobs.

With Israel: the right hates it because it is full of Jews. The left hates it because they are imperialistic lackeys of Yanqui pig dogs.

:P

Some of us don't have that option, even if they wanted it.

Well yeah, but still the Parliament does not decide on EU enlargements - the individual countries do. So as long as the French are against it, Turks won't enter no matter who wins in the Parliament. :P

I would have thought the Anti EU parties would want the Turk in; it would solve the issue in their favor much more quickly.  That's very short sighted on their part.

That's a good point. But I guess you're asking to much of those guys intelligence.
