  1. There sure like them big! EDIT Just saw they casted not one but 2 humongous ballots, they had to fold twice 😭

  6. Saying “It’s better than Amwrica” is like saying “The sky is blue” nowadays. useless addition Jan

  7. Being better than the savages is nothing to be proud of Jan

  9. Last one is based. Would take a big paper any day of the week over America.

  13. Most trees needed for ballot per capita! That’s why we have no forests.

  14. Is it easy for their parties to come up with long term agreements?

    We get a booklet. Only one tiny page is then used for voting. It is either the list with your party or an empty page that is filled by hand.

  16. > “I always choose the same one, but it’s great that there’s other parties.”

    THIS. This is democracy, my friends. Accepting that, even if you have a strong opinion about something, it can coexist with other opinions and points of view.

    It’s not a popular context. It’s not about fighting to decide who’s right. It’s all about finding a way to move forward TOGETHER despite our differences.

    That’d be a Europe to be proud of.

  18. If you’re not capable of folding it back you should lose your voting rights imo

  19. This is our retard filter. If your IQ is too low to properly fold a piece of paper and it won’t fit, your vote should not count anyway.

  21. Why don’t you have n separate papers for n parties and everyone just puts a single paper in an official envelope as we do in Czechia. We have like 60 parties here as well and we don’t go through this struggle. Also it’s much more efficient to count votes.

  24. It is indeed comically large. I agree it doesnt look that hard to fold it properly, but come on. There isnt even enough place in the booth to unfold all of it.

  26. When in doubt shit on the Americans. Gotta love the dutch in that regard

  27. “Better than America”

    Smuggest bastards per capita. But not wrong.

  28. The more important question, do you keep the red pencil? (I’ve found it is actually pretty useful for marking wood before cutting with a saw)

    I wonder if u/rex-ac struggled with the ballot? XD

  29. I still can’t believe all you peasants don’t even have the democratic right to choose between a party for students, a party for people who hate immigrants, a party for people who already own a house, a party for people who don’t already own a house, a party for fatsoen, a party for transitioning to coal and gas, a party for conspiracy theories, a party for racist farmers, a party for Turkish people, a party for people who love Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour, a party for people who love communism, a party for people who love animals (PLATONICALLY), a party for people who love Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour but maybe a little bit too much holy shit dude take a step back, a party for old pensioners, a party for European federalists, a party for Chinese spies, a party specifically for people who speak a regional dialect, a party for crazed men with chainsaws, a party who loves animals but also loves Putin, a party for people who shiver their timbers and want to plunder for booty, a party for conspiracy theories who did not like the other party for conspiracy theories, a party for people who really don’t like racism, a party that’s like the party for people who already own a house except they promise to be nicer than that party, a party, a party for old pensioners but they also hate foreigners, whatever the hell the party “ELLECT” wants and a party who really wants everyone to have a decent laywer.

    You guys are truly underdeveloped democratically speaking.
