Internet: 'the great anarchist event' no longer ours to 'control'
When Irish telecommunications company Eircom blocked customer access to the Pirate Bay in September, you could almost hear a faint, sardonic chuckle erupt from internet users all over the world. As Britain and France impose their own legislation to cut off internet access for filesharing offenders, the EU parliament and commission hold talks to formalise their positions on 4 November

Lazy Bundestag showdown
The uninspired German election campaign will probably continue ailing until elections take place on 27 September. A fibreless TV chancellor duel and lustless candidates have had a somniferous impact on the electing nation. Will Angela Merkel, the most 'powerful woman in the world' over the last four years, seduce the girls? Or will Steinmeier hack into the Russian Facebook community first? Maybe subjects like climate change from eco-showman Guttenberg or the fictional candidate, the comedian Horst Schlämmer, could shake up the dozing federal republic
EU? To the back, turn right
The EU parliament shapes 75% of EU laws. Between 4 and 7 June 2009, it saw its social democrats left-wing fall out whilst the centre-right went deep in elections across the 27 countries of the EU.

Since the first EU elections took place in 1979, we're seeing a record loser turnout. Reflections

Cem Özdemir: ‘The biggest disgrace is when the modern generation walks out on its responsibilities’
He joined the green party at 15, and today the 43-year-old is the first non-German native party chairman. His ethnic background has led to the national press giving him the epithet of ‘the green party’s Obama’, and a Facebook group called ‘Yes, we Cem’
