I did my duty. I voted.
Today is the day of parliamentary election in Croatia. And it's really important to go out and cast your vote. Especially for a woman. I mean, we are blessed to be living in a country that allows us to vote and even though it's usually picking the lesser evil and can be quite a drag, it is, above all, a privilege. So no, no one can have my vote to manipulate with it. It's mine and I shall give it to whom ever I want.
Anyway, I'm red. Or would've been in America in the 50's. In Croatia today I vote for the Social-Democratic Party. I love how liberal they are, I love how they focus on the people living here. Sure, it's a campaign and we all know that promises made before the election are so often broken but still. They are the only ones always voting YES for the right of choice, for the equal rights of the homosexuals, against religion in schools and so on. I cannot but to agree.
I also believe that everyone has to choose for themselves. Unlike my sister who's been trying to make her bf vote for her party. lol She's an idiot.
My Dad took the wrong glasses with him, the ones he cannot really read with, so he said he'd vote for the number 11, thinking it's SDP, and I said I'd tell him if it is or not. lol Imagine me yelling across the room VOTE 22! (It wasn't 11 after all, it was 22.) I could've had the election declared irregular. Anyway, he manged to read it after all and he didn't give his vote to a random party.
And now we wait.
On a lighter note... A dead man. A bottle of alleged Valium. A naked guy on the roof top. A midget. A blackmail. A reverend on a tight schedule.
Seriously, people, if you haven't already, go see Death at a Funeral. I absolutely loved it. I suppose my sister didn't like it as much since I was laughing out loud while she was trying to sleep. (And I don't laugh out loud that often.)

3 spoke back:
In Belgium we still call the supporters of the socialist party the 'reds', lol. I'm a 'red' too, although on several issues, the christian democrats can count on my vote too. As opposed to the liberal party, who I feel believe a bit too much in people's abilities to overcome misery in their lives -- they are FOR privatising a lot of government directed services, and also for drastic changes in the social security system, which would be detrimental to people with lower incomes. And then there's the extreme right party in Flanders, 'het Vlaams Belang' (the Flemish Interest) who I wouldn't vote for in a million years, because their constant pointing out of the lack of safety in our country made people even more xenofobic than Belgians were to begin with. And can you believe that? Lack of safety? I've never heard a gun being fired in my life. Never saw or heard of anyone being mugged.
Thanks for the film tip, I might check that one out.
Christian democrats here are pretty much right. There's a thin line between them so I say NO. lol
I hate when people try to make us vote for who they want and not who we want.
I always make my choice and go post my vote.
Here politicians promise a lot and fulfill less.
But I guess that hapens everyhere.
Our government is trying to pass our country finances on EU, because EU is the one that gives us subsidies for everything.
Euro came a fucked up our economy. Now our life costs double and we get the same salary.
Portugal is becoming the European Brazil...We have the poor and the rich ones more and more. The midle class people is slowly disapearing, and the distance between rich and poor keep enlarging.
I hope life gets better, eventhough I can't complain....yet.
But I speak for myself.
We only have Democracy for about 30 years. Before that hapened we were governed by a Dictador and everybody complain for rights and liberty. So Democracy came along but I say we have a lot to learn still.
LMAO @ VOTE 22!! Hihihihih
