European elections 2009 (41): European Parliament website features the EP elections

The European Parliament has put up a sub-page of its website covering the 2009 European Parliament elections.

It rather looks like an acquittal than like a true enthusiastic offer to the European citizens, and I suppose that if it remains like it is today, it won't raise much interest.

Boring!!!!

Do you know why we should vote for the European Parliament according to this page? Because:
"[b]y voting in EP elections, [we] choose who influences [our] future and the daily life of close to 500 million fellow Europeans."
If this was true, there would be more professionalism behind the page where you find this over-optimistic description on the task of the European Parliament. If this was true, you would not need to write it down. If this was true, there would be a natural interest in the elections.

But it is not true, and the low ambitions of a sub-site are a very good indicator thereto.
