Re: The Cards Have Been Dealt (4.00 / 2)

The Åland Islands (a Finnish autonomous region) will be holding elections for their regional parliament in October as well, though I'm not sure if that's before or after Slovenia. Might get interesting if the separatist party makes large gains.

Er, though they are in 2007, not 2008. I seem to have lost my ability to parse numerical values...I blame global warming ;)

Re: The Cards Have Been Dealt (none / 1)

I should have said the last scheduled national parliamentary elections (that's 3 qualifiers for ya!).

There will also be a few elections in some of the states of Germany, which could be very important for the balance of power internally in Germany. But the people in the Council of Ministers and in the European Council will stay the same for over a year and three months.

(More qualifiers: Depending upon the date of elections in Greece/Spain, and if no government falls. Plus Slovenia also elects a president in December this year but I don't know what his role in the EU institutions is, more like the French president (all-decisive) or more like the German president (none at all))

AFAIK it's between the two, like, say, in Austria.
