			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Parce que sur <strong>NiceToMeetEu</strong> on ne fait jamais les choses comme tout le monde (regarder encore une fois la vidéo de Sebastian sur le poste précédent si vous n&#8217;êtes pas encore convaincu) et parce que nous savons que la campagne lancée par l&#8217;Union européenne vous a d’ores et déjà séduits, nous n’allons pas ici vous dire pourquoi vous devez aller voter&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8230;en revanche nous allons vous donner les moyens d&#8217;aller voter <strong>informés</strong>!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">En effet, nous voudrions vous présenter un site utile et très bien fait pour glaner un grand nombre d&#8217;informations sur les parties européens et les membres du Parlement. Ce site s&#8217;appelle <a href="http://www.votewatch.eu/index.php"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">VoteWatch</span></span></a> et a été réalisé par deux professeurs d&#8217;économie et sciences politiques, Abdul G. Noury (ULB), Simon Hix (London School of Economics), ainsi que Doru Frantescu, membre du Parlement européen, et Sara Hagemannune, analyste politique pour l&#8217;European Policy Centre (EPC), &#8220;think-tank&#8221; bruxellois.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="size-full wp-image-723  aligncenter" title="VoteWatch" src="http://www.nicetomeeteu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/picture-31.png" alt="" width="316" height="152" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Vous pouvez consulter, en autres choses, l&#8217;assiduité des parlementaires ou de leur groupe aux séances plénières, la loyauté des membres à leur partie (lors des votes) ou à leur pays d&#8217;origine. Le site propose en outre de nombreuses statistiques sur les coalitions, la concordance des votes, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Alors faites y un petit tours, cela ne donnera que plus de sens au petit papier que vous glisserez dans l&#8217;urne ce weekend.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-718" title="VoteWatch" src="http://www.nicetomeeteu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/picture-2.png" alt="" width="309" height="94" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ps: faites aussi un tour sur la page, <a href="http://www.votewatch.eu/static/votewatch_guide.php"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">guide</span></span></a>, pour une meilleur approche des données statistiques présentes sur le site.</p>

If you vote, others won’t be able to chose for you
You’re a nice person, you trust people and people certainly know what’s good for you. Just let them pick some decent politicians… You’ll feel good.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Don’t vote!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you vote, others won’t be able to chose for you<br />
You’re a nice person, you trust people and people certainly know what’s good for you. Just let them pick some decent politicians… You’ll feel good.<br />
*<br />
*<br />
*<br />
*<br />
If you vote, it will look as if you feel responsible for what’s going on in Europe. You certainly don’t want to feel responsible, do you? Nooooooooooooo, get me the remote control!!<br />
*<br />
*<br />
*<br />
*<br />
If you vote, the EU parliament will have more legitimacy. More what? Legitimacy, it means that the EP can make laws because people want them to make laws&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But it’s always easier to say they are crap because they were elected by 30% of the people. Too bad for them, buhahahahahahaha!<br />
*<br />
*<br />
*<br />
*<br />
So stay at home, watch a movie, be happy&#8230; or keep complaining.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The pic we used has the fancy name<br />
&#8220;The European institutions: the European Parliament &#8211; the voice of the people&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It belongs to the EC and can be downloaded from here:<br />
