Unseen, but not irrelevant
The biggest surprise about the elections has been the paucity of the coverage throughout Europe.
Watching the only two English language channels (CNN and BBC world) almost no coverage was given to the elections, and what limited amount there was related to the English elections. BBC World was particularly poor, with the Ceefax service having brief, delayed and incomplete coverage which was complemented (sic) by a single lamentable news report, which avoided the issues.
CNN Europe, had by comparison a comprehensive amount of coverage. I saw three reports over two days! It soon put you in your place, when you realise just how irrelevant you are.
