European observers to monitor the US vote:
“We will tell the people of Ohio whether their election is free and fair,” said one of the observers, Hugo Coveliers, a Belgian senator who plans to monitor voting in Cleveland.”
Belgium, of course, is of course the ‘democracy’ that recently saw serious attempts made to shut down the (far from likeable) Vlaams Blok, a party that is proving far too popular for its own good.
Other countries represented in the ranks of the observers include the neo-Stalinist Belarus and the Westminster of Central Asia, Kazakhstan.
