EU Observer: Majority of Europeans not interested in European Parliament elections

While a majority of Europeans say they like the European Union, more than half have declared no interest in the June European elections, a fresh study has shown.
When asked about the 4-7 June poll, 18 percent of the respondents said they were "not at all interested" in it, while 35 percent said they were "rather not interested," a TNS Opinion study for the French Political Innovation Foundation released on Monday (18 May) showed.
Just as many (35%) said they were "rather interested," but just 11 percent said they were "very interested."

The woman is a national embarassment, but at the same time the most popular soc dem politician in the country. Probably because she spends all her time out of it.
