Poland... don't mention the war...

Members of the European Union (EU) have total votes based on their population.

Poland recently joined the EU and are not happy with their quota of votes. As reported in The Times
Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the Prime Minister, said that Poland deserved a review of the proposed voting plan for EU states because “if Poland had not had to live through the years of 1939-45, [we] would today be looking at demographics of a country of 66 million” rather than 38 million.
Ouch!

Today has been a lazy day. I did drop around to visit Klaudia this afternoon, and I saw Anaree at the supermarket.
