Comments on: VoteWatch.eu – worth waiting for http://www.kosmopolito.org/votewatcheu-worth-waiting-for/ The Blog with the European perspective Mon, 26 Jul 2010 10:25:03 +0000 hourly 1 By: Tommy Flood http://www.kosmopolito.org/votewatcheu-worth-waiting-for/comment-page-1/#comment-2679 Tommy Flood Wed, 13 May 2009 14:13:34 +0000 http://www.kosmopolito.org/?p=892#comment-2679 The Council of Ministers is the most undemocratic decision making body in Europe. Certainly Votewatch.eu is a welcome prospect and should hopefully put an end to generations of politicians who wilfully blamed Brussels for Directives. Now, at least, we will know how Ministers actually vote. Other interesting websites that I have come across are Micandidate.eu and EU profiler. The former is a massive database with all the candidates running in the Euro-elections. I'm sure there are a few 'odd balls' on that site. Although I haven't found any yet. Has anybody found any unsavoury characters. Any general opinions about the site? The latter is useful for underpinning ones' true political colours. Although, for my profile in Ireland I was left in the political wilderness, totally un-represented. Maybe I should start a political party?
