Try as I might, I just can't picture it. At least not in the way I imagine the organisers intended it. I am talking about the video booths (36 of them) that are to appear in each member state in the run-up to the June European elections. The good citizens of Europe are invited to pop inside and record a message on the EU and/or its policies.

While most of the EP's campaign launch on Tuesday made sense to me, this had the kiss of Brussels on it. Thought up by people working in Brussels for people already living and breathing the EU.

Does Europe inspire people enough either way to get into one of these `choice boxes' (a large, room-size, multi-media box as the blurb says) and say something about it? Constructive or otherwise. I am not sure it does.
