"Schianare"

In Austria we have a famous card game called Watten. When you have a bad deck you can ask for "Schianare" (New cards, translated it means "more beautiful"). When the other player(s) also want better cards, they can accept your request and the cards will be shuffled again. If the other player(s) doesn't want better cards you have to continue with your bad deck.

Next Sunday is the "European Union Election 2009". As always, the Austrian parties don't make politics, they make a big comedy program. No Party does represent the Austrian interests within the EU, they all want to represent their own party.

Why do we always have to choose from the parties and politicians which are "served" ? Why do we only have a choice between bad and worse ? There should be the possibility to elect "Schianare" within an election. If we're not pleased with the "assortment" we should have the possibility to shuffle the choice again.
