Are you afraid of the European Union? Many people in the Netherlands seem afraid of it. Hopefully not that many will vote against it in the upcoming elections, june the 4th. Make sure you cast your vote. I will vote for a Pro-European party. I don’t necessarily agree with all the European institutions. (Why move to Strassbourg every month btw?)

Why vote for Europe?

- A European financial authority can restore checks and balances in the financial world. Why should all these small countries come up with their own legislation when most financial institutions operate international anyway?

- Europe can give better protection of individual rights.

- Europe can cooperate to have a sustainable agenda.

- Europe needs one voice in the world, so it can converse on equal footing with the US, India and China.
