Polling-day! I returned an hour ago from the polling-station
to vote for one of the 26 parties we could choose from for new M.P's.
The election campaign was harsh and full of promises, none of the politicians can prove. I didn't vote for one of the three
Christian parties, because they are rather small and have some
ideas, I cannot support.
This week we had some unpleasant encounters with the Turkish government, which caused a lot of hatred. This is not the way we should treat each other and build a strong and happy Europe. And hatred is the worst adviser.
I agree with my government that we cannot allow foreigners to use our country as a platform to fight their political problems.
We are not a province of any other European country. We are an independent state with our own constitution and a king as head of state. We abhor dictators.
I believe that where love and "caritas" rule, God is present.

I like this song very very much and the painting or Mosaic is great !
Best, Synnöve
Seems like politicians/poltics are the same the world over. I hope your election turns out more positive than ours here did. We are in such trouble.
Ik ben het helemaal eens met je, Wil!
