European Tribune

but then, US presidential election are set up to be the one that generate more comments : it's the one that actually has a world and europe wide importance, has a chance of vote rigging, is divided in a low enough number of constituencies that each can be talked about...

And we haven't had EP election coverage on ET, yet. That shall be the subject of the next semester, I hope.

Are we in school?  Do we have an ET uniform?  Short pants?  High socks? :)

Exactly.

For Europeans, two diaries are expected by the end of december : a summary of the EP electoral system and a rundown of current MEPs, and a summary of candidates for the next EP election with summary of influence on national politics and issues, national and europeans, that will be discussed during the campaign.

For Americans, a single diary at most celebrating the Obama election, with results of your own state's elections.

Well, I guess us expats can just kick back and pop a brew then.

You don't have a home state?

Yes, but I'm not up on all the lore, propositions, gossip, inside baseball &c. that you need for a really spicy election diary.

Well, that simply means a diary that will require research.
