| Elections often tell you more about
what people are against than what they are for. So it is with the European
ones that took place last week in all 25 European Union member countries.
These elections, widely trumpeted as the world’s biggest-ever
multinational democratic vote, were fought for the most part as 25 separate
national contests, which makes it tricky to pick out many common themes.
But the strongest are undoubtedly negative. Europe’s voters are angry and
disillusioned-and they have demonstrated their anger and disillusion in three
main ways. The most obvious was by abstaining. The average overall turnout was just over 45%, by some margin the lowest ever recorded for elections to the European Parliament. And that average disguises some big variations: Italy, for example, notched up over 70%, but Sweden managed only 37%. A. a proposal is advanced in the first paragraph and then negated in the following paragraphs B. an prophecy is revealed and then proved with concrete examples C. a generalization is made in the first paragraph and then elaborated in the following paragraphs D. a proposition is introduced in the first paragraph and then explained in details in the following paragraphs [单项选择]
