Oh Lawd.

I don't get how those thousands of Iranians are protesting and the government still insist that he won with 2/3 of the votes. How come there's more than 1/3 of the population against him if that's the case?

It's disgusting.

Reach out and touch faith.

And they counted the votes faster than the European election votes. Because that makes sense.

Do your best to help spread the word~

Do it now. You heard me. ;D

As much as I agree there is something up in Iran.
The population of the EU is about 7 times greater than that of Iran. So I don't really see the relation. As of course the votes in the EU will take longer, also the EU is multiple countries not one. However you might be able to correct me.

Yet completely agree with you, give back the Iranian's their freedom. This is not what there revolution in 1979 was about. Why revert to dictatorship.

I meant the British results for the European election, sorry I didn't make that clear. I heard it during a debate on BBC, so I can't provide a source.
If it were the entire of Europe, then yeah, it'd be expected that it would take longer to count than the Iranian elections.

In the past few weeks, Iran has held an election, where Mir-Hussein Mousavi was expected to win, because the ultra-conservative president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has lost a lot of popularity because of the current economic crisis, and the younger generations of Iran want a liberal leader.

In the Iranian election, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won by 2/3 of the votes, "a landslide victory", which outraged most of the nation as most people believe it was fixed. The supporters of Mir-Hussein Mousavi have marched out on the street, wearing the green of his presidential campaign.

The government's been planting informers within the peaceful protests to stir up trouble, cause violence and report who the leaders of the rebellion are. The government's also been placing controls on Iranian internet access, so they can't get to websites like YouTube, the BBC and Google. The Iranian people are using proxies to access websites like Twitter, where they're telling the world about their struggle and organising where to protest.
