The Finns have to wait three hours for EP elections results just because members have not been able to decide a common day and hour of voting. It is no wonder that the capability of th EU is sometimes questioned when easy problems seem to be this difficult. The Dutch might be fined for making their results public before sunday. We politicians will have to do better to get people believe in common decisionmaking.
It is a bit sad, yes. One might think that something so trivial would be easy to agree upon - and administrate.
However, if anyone judges the entire capability of the union upon one decision, such as this, they are also making a mistake.
Oh, I almost forgot:
