 A promise to youth, a promise to Europe :: LYMEC asbl :: European Liberal Youth :: Free your mind!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
On the contrary, European liberal-democrats are rather consistent and coherent, an absolute necessary demand in order to present a credible project for the European Union within the next five years.
The liberal parties should make young people interested in participating in the elections by clearly favouring a more democratic, efficient and transparent Europe in which the expectations of young people can be taken into account.
On that respect, it seems obvious the need to assist financially the young candidates that are running in these elections so that the European Parliament can also see a young generation of parliamentarians that are able to bring their generational perspective to the decision-making exercise.

 THE POLITICAL TESTAMENT OF ADOLF HITLER
As for Britain, relieved of all European cares, she could have devoted herself to the wellbeing of her Empire.
It gave them the chance they had so long been seeking to implicate the United States directly in the conflict, and it was a master stroke on their part to have succeeded in dragging the Americans unanimously and enthusiastically into their war.
