Re: Europe (none / 1)

Isn't this a novum - two women in the end-race for leadership of a major party?

<snark> Could something like this happen in the US? </snark>

Re: Europe (none / 0)

If national elections in the US had a run-off component and were thus equipped to handle more than two "major" candidates in each election yes, this would be very possible.

Re: Europe (none / 0)

This being the election of party leadership, it is more analogeuos to having two women as the last contenders in one of the US parties presidential primaries.

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
