Please explain to me how one clan elder represent the diverse views of all his clansmen? As with all the communities across the world, if a section of the village is impressed by candidate A and the remaining people are in favour of candidates B, C, D, etc, how will one elder reconcile all those differing views?

To reconcile and align differing views is precisely the reason why we have Clan Elders in the first place: Clan Elders only forward a clan’s chosen candidate— only after due deliberation, and consideration has been undertaken by his tribesmen. Naturally there’s is going to be a lot of competition and grievances, which leads to some horse trading or some other form of placation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is only one chair so whether in Britain, America or anywhere there is no system where all opinions can be at the top at one time. But what you have a really superior method is that example: A school is priority of a village or a water well..They might be promised by every candidate for this, but they know who will do what he promised at least the rep/elder knows this. The elder will choose one that will do this and by that he also cements his being rep/elder for ever... In the scheme of things this is actually more representative, very close to the people and relies on influencing both the people and the rep/elder at the same time. Its quite good. It also connects the tradition and modernism at the same time. Its a system that works for a professor from Harvard and a nomad from Qandala. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holac Posted December 2, 2018 Clan elder/rep voting system is the closest thing to perfection in Somali doorasho system at this time. No one dies on election day and there is no dispute about walagu shubtay and other nonsense that leads to years of strive and instability. If it is not broken, don't fix it.

What is democracy other than some formulae agreed by the people. Having been the most advanced Somali society of having a kingdom in the past centuries also comes into play and helps.

Peace Action Posted December 17, 2018 This is Somali pastoral democracy as it is best with a little bit of colorful show biz. It will be very competitive as usual and there are signs that Dr. Gas will not able to win another term January 8, 2019. It always amazes me why Somalis especially the constant whining secessionists always turn positive news from our country into pissing clan contest.
