Representation x 10?

In the last few hours I have voted 10 times.

Not ballot stuffing, but 3 real votes (constituency MSP, regional MSP, council) and 7 EUSA positions. There's something lacking in politics.

The major parties are bland and agree (wrongly ;) ) on many important issues. The minor people only hav a chance in the regional votes, and there is a definate element of muppetry. I'm still glad the Scottish parliment has a form of PR. Hopefully alternative viewpoints will be more strongly represented this time round.

The council seems to be semi-fictional. The only thing I've heard is that nobody has said much about it. That's it.

As for EUSA, the fact that there is only one "serious" presidential candidate and one "lazy vato" [sic] says it all. Oh, and the fact that VPS, one of the four sabbatical positions, was filled automatically due to the second candidate dropping out.

If anybody gives a damn, what should they do? I'm now off to my coursework again, which is looming terribly. Goodbye.
