<p>To hit an optimistic note, it is actually possible to reverse the trend of declining participation. In Denmark the turnout increased to 59.5% from 47.9% in 2004. There does seem to be a tendency among the European electorate to take a very national approach to the European Parliament, which is why it might properly motivate the turnout, if representation was proportional with participation making every vote count the same no matter which country it was cast. <a href="http://www.rustylime.com/show_article.php?id=3542" class="spip_url spip_out auto" rel="nofollow external">http://www.rustylime.com/show_article.php?id=3542</a></p>
