43%

At the European Elections 2009 only 43% of the Europeans voted. So the big looser of the elections seems actually to be the European Union itself. More than half of the population does not believe in Europe so much as to make a statement for it.

So Europe has to become more important in Europe. Thats maybe why on de Albert Cuypmarkt in Amsterdam they are selling these puzzleboards .. children can fit in all the countries to obtain a better understanding of Europe .. an attachment that may deliver votes when the little people become big people.

The market salesman must have an allround perspective .. he also put up a board with the Dutch provinces on it .. the Dutch provincial elections being an election where usually also only about half of the population shows up.
