Vilnius - Lithuanians go to the polls Sunday to vote in a general election. But this year's campaign is proving to be very different from the ones that preceded it. Where previous general elections have usually been boisterous, affairs featuring flamboyant politicians making often outrageous statements at colourful rallies, this year's campaign has been uncharacteristically calm.
"For the first time in many years, the campaign isn't actually that interesting. Nothing unexpected has happened and there are no new faces on the political scene. The distribution of political force is more or less the same as it was one, two or even three years ago," Vladas Gaidys, director of Vilnius-based polling company Vilmorus told Deutsche Presse-Agentur
