So, all together, we had four voting lists, with 40 votes on one, 15 votes on another one and one vote each on the last two lists. It was a lot of hard thinking and making sure you don't give too many votes to one candidate, or your entire vote would not have counted.<br />Like you, I find it hard to decide, because none of the many, many parties here in Germany truly represents my views and concerns, but I chose those whose programs match mine the best.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-55158935269343199952014-05-26T09:46:53.219+02:002014-05-26T09:46:53.219+02:00I so so want to have a go in one of those chairs!I so so want to have a go in one of those chairs!Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-88309255950092378382014-05-26T04:00:42.487+02:002014-05-26T04:00:42.487+02:00I'm so glad the threat came to nothing, That i...I'm so glad the threat came to nothing, That is a beautiful courthouse! The turrets on either side, can one actually go up and come out on top where the fences are? The entrance to the museum is very pretty, with all the fabrics. But I would definitely stay out of those dizzying chairs!Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
