Votes

The Romanians went to vote. Some of them at least. In North West London the polling station at Brent Council was overcrowded. At 12.00 there were too many people and I went back home. At 5pm there were even more people, but I gave it a try. Almost two hours later I had cast my vote. A useless vote - a vote with a 2-week life expectancy, but I cast it as a statement. On 6 December there will be another round and I dread going to vote. To choose between Basescu - who is against the recognition of the Kosovar independence, for the old Rhine-Danube link project I fought against while at T&E; and Geoana - who supports nuclear energy and comes with high recommendations from Iliescu....
I would have rather had Remus Cernea and Crin Antonescu instead.... though to be honest I kind of doubt there can be any improvement with change at the top only.
