Sunday the 7th of June, Sweden went voting, for which of the eighteen politicians will represent Sweden in The European Union. All the traditional parties are able to vote for and some other groups as well.The results will come later this week, but already today Monday, we will know more or less the results.
There has been a lot of campaigning activities during the last few weeks and Saturday was the most active day of all. Then you could meet most of the politicans in town. They were serving meatballs, signing bath balls, playing football or just talking and telling one why, we should vote for them.
We went to vote at mid day and there were not so many people there. We put our vote in an envelope and then went home again.
The EU (European Union) Parlament has 736 members, from 27 countries in Europe. The numbers of members from each country depends on the number of citizens in each country. The parliment is placed in both Brussels (Belgium) and in Strasbourg (France).
