Bizzare Euro Election Voting Paper

I know this is somewhat off topic but having voted this evening in the Euro election it was really odd to have a ballot paper that was almost two foot long.  Especially when compared to the local council election ballot paper.  Not sure what that says about the relevance of each election, or the legislatures they are selecting apart from the Euro ballot paper was far more confusing.  However as news keeps breaking from Westminster we might be doing this again in the not too distant future - and this will be an election that really counts.
