British Elections Make Nigerian Elections Look Like A Joke by gidgiddy(op): 10:16am On Jun 04, 2024
The Prime Minister Of Britain recently announced that Elections will be held in July. The two major political parties, the Labour Party, and the Conservative Party, are going to battle it out to know who will be in government in July

But what astonishes me is what I learnt about the British Elections themselves. The elections can be held on any day of the week, infact, the coming elections will be held July 4th, a Thursday. There will be no Army or Police at polling booths, not even party agents. Voters cards will be sent directly to people's addresses. If your voters card does not arrive, you can still vote with other forms of identification such as driving licence or passport. You can vote on your way to work, while doing school runs, while on your break, or even on your way back from work. If you are not available to vote on polling day, you can apply to vote in advance through 'postal vote'. Voting is simple, no indelible ink, just cross an 'X' on the box of the Party you wish to vote for with a marker.

British elections are so free and fair that the election tribunals rarely sit as nobody has any petitions. The last time they sat was 2015, and only one petition in the entire country

Nigeria still has a long way to go

With Tech these days, voting process can be so seamless and quality results achieved...

There would be no terrorist sympathisers if your country was run based on justice, equity and fairness, as is done in Britain

Your perception of the meaning of those words is coloured by your innate hate. So because Obi lost, Nigeria must collapse.??

Those who lost or won are today buying Dollar for N1,500, a litre of petrol for N750, a bag of rice for N90,000 and a painter of Garri for N4,000

As inflation gets worse, as insecurity gets worse, as the national debt gets worse, some people are busy talking about nonsense rather than the solution

To even conduct internationally credible elections is not even possible

It's people like you who don't want Nigeria's election processes to look like that of Britain you are fascinated about here. Check yourself very well. Do you believe in free and fair elections? Have you ever believed that the candidate you support can win or lose squarely? Why do you think that elections can be rigged? Why is that it is only when your own candidate wins that the election can be adjudged free and fair?
Besides, Britain started practicing democracy over 4 centuries before Nigeria was born. If after such long years of try and error, the British are not able to perfect their electoral process to the level you described, then something must be wrong with them.
To attempt to compare democratic happening between Nigeria and Britain shows that you lack knowledge of what is even democracy. For your information, Britain is the mother of modern democracy and it acting as that mother is not something fascinating at all, but something upcoming democracies can emulate rather. From absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy was not an easy rides, a lot of water had passed under the bridge. We have seen the violence that greeted the last election of US, a nation that posed and pride itself as defender of democracy. The issue is mindset of the generalities.
Political culture is built through political socialization over a long period of time. Nigeria can get to that stage, maybe, if you and me choose to behave ourselves well.

During the last US Presidential election, Donald Trump's supporters invaded the US National Assembly and destroyed humans and things there, that is the country that is exporting democracy all over the world.

So does USA have a long way to go too.
Most nations do it USA way which has more controversy even if it is way better than our own.
Till date,Trump believed that he was rigged out,that he won cheesy

Parasite britain. Theirs is better but they will help decomposed walking dead animals who feel it's their turn to rig election and declare it credible. Thanks God Islam is taking over UK. I just pray the entire UK falls and are enslaved by jihadists in my life time.
Re: British Elections Make Nigerian Elections Look Like A Joke by RenaissanceGuy: 4:08pm On Jun 04, 2024
One of the most surprising things about elections in these developed countries is that they don't need 4 years to prepare for an election. Election can be called within a month's notice and the electoral body is not taken unawares, especially in parliamentary democracies where govt can be dissolved anytime.
