Yesterday, we decided to stay at home, so that we wouldn’t miss a bit of the general election 2008. As many others, we glued ourselves to the TV. First at about 12pm started the excitement, Glenn said that if one of the party’s had the absolute majority, in about an hour we would know who is going to ‘kastilja’. But it turned out to be much more of a struggle than that and it took much longer than we assumed. At a certain point TVM said that the PN won the general election, but a few minutes after, Joe Saliba, the PN general secretary said that it was all a myth and we still had to wait at least 3 hours more, because the to big party’s where to close to each other, that one could not tell who won. After Joe’s announcement us and Glenn’s mom decided to go out and have a nice hot chocolate to calm ourselves down at the MIA, because things we’re getting pretty hectic, especially for Glenn’s mom, who is a hardcore Labourite! Things chilled down a bit, we went back home and again we glued our selves to the TV. Finally at 9:15pm the results are in…The PN won the general election again!note: We want to apologize for not writing for a while!
