1 day agoGerman citizen, I was always able to vote in local and EU elections in Ireland. Fair, it did annoy me not to be able to vote in the general elections there, but I was able to request mail-in ballots for general elections in Germany online and got them in time.
I agree with the author that we should not have different rules and requirements across the EU. Voting requirements should be aligned across all member states. At the same time, we should not use bureaucratic hurdles as an excuse to not vote. If you move somehwere new, inform yourself and plan accordingly. This is important stuff.


Google and their big tech buddies made their choice by supporting Trump’s regime. I know actions have consequences is a concept that doesn’t apply in the US, but elsewhere it does. Deal with it.
