Wer die Wahl hat, hat die Qual...

Gah... so regional elections are coming up and it's the first time I get to vote here (EU parliament aside but I still voted as a German then).

So I'm taking it seriously eventhough I know I'm just 1 voter and I won't change anything. I did the voting guide stemwijzer.nl and I got the party called "Links Appèl" as the one that matched my ideals the most. It's a party which mostly wants to focus on giving equal rights (not just on paper but in practice) to all people who live in The Hague, which basicly means mostly focusing on "immigrants". Whereas I'm not an "immigrant" as such I still seem to agree with many of their points. On the one hand I have the urge to vote for a big democrat party like PvdA just to counteract the huge rise in right winged parties... but on the other hand I'm thinking why not give a smaller party a chance for a couple of seats? They have good ideas and from what I've seen on their website they know the sources for problems and want to tackle them right there. The lijsttrekker (their leader guy) seems nice and he's a business guy so he should know his way around economic issues and is not a farmer like with most leftish party leaders. Also it's just city council elections... so wheras it will define the life around me, it will not define my rights or the national laws and imoprtant stuff like that.

So I'm torn what to vote for. Hmmm well I still have 1 week to decide... lol
