Manker's web totty
I've been living in the UK for 3 years and in that time I've been back in Belgium twice, for a total of 8 days.
I just received this e-mail from our ministry of foreign affairs:
Betreft: federale parlementaire verkiezingen 2007
Geachte Mevrouw/Geachte Heer,
U hebt enige tijd geleden een uitnodiging ontvangen om u in te schrijven voor de federale parlementaire verkiezingen. Tenzij wij ons vergissen, heeft de Ambassade of het Consulaat(-generaal) uw antwoord nog niet ontvangen.
Daar de deelname aan de verkiezingen wettelijk verplicht is voor de Belgen die ingeschreven zijn in de bevolkingsregisters van de Ambassade/ Consulaat(-generaal), zouden wij het zeer op prijs stellen ten laatste op 1 februari 2007 uw volledig ingevulde inschrijvingsformulier te mogen ontvangen.
Voor bijkomende informatie kunt u steeds terecht op de Ambassade/het Consulaat(-generaal).
Hoogachtend,
Karel De Gucht
Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken
They're basically telling me that I have to get back to them before the 1st of february so I can vote in the federal elections.
In Belgium voting is compulsory.
So if I don't vote I get fined
So... they're wanting me to vote for a parlement that does not affect my life whatsoever.
Not only that, I don't follow Belgian politics so I don't have a clue who does what these days
What's the use?

Doesn't work like that.
I'm on the register of the embassy, so I'm expected to vote.
I suppose I could vote blank

yeah but that's not the point.
What's the use in voting for a government in a country you don't live in?
