Somaliland elections: Everything is fine (except when it is not)

Recommended Posts

There will only be 3 parties so people will be forced to make alliances so that's good

In the 50s they had 3 parties SNL USP and NUF. So next month they will have 3 parties.

Xaaji, I didn't know that by next month they will restrict it to three parties.I think for the sanity of the nation they should do that and let people form alliance...

Why didn't they vote in 2010?

 

.

You should be saying that's a no way to draw-up electoral boundaries, we all know that you're a big fan of the President, but c'mon.

 

 

And Odewayne was questioning a while ago why the sub-clan was meeting in Erigavo last summer.

Somaliland will always be faced with the obstacle of sub-clan loyalty.It doesn't matter if today the president is HC or if tomorrow HY takes the lead. The barefaced reality will always be obvious where loyalty will be placed.The opening of multiple parties was a calculated risk that only encouraged disabling and denigrating politics of sub-clan.It only galvanized and radicalized the people into viewing politics from sub-clan angle. People are much more attuned to siding with their sub-clans.They should restrict the parties to only three maximum

Good post, I agree totally.

The NEC is doing nothing wrong and is going by previous results. Not their fault some areas decided not to vote in the last elections.

You snooze you lose, if was conducting it, I would totally use that formula to determine where to put voting centers. By the way, isno one disturbed by the fact that in the same city people will only vote in their clan neighborhoods? Boy do we have long way to go.

Of course they're doing nothing wrong to Norf :)

 

The people had their reasons why they abstained from voting at election time, surely NEC could have used a different method. What they have done is marginalized a major sub-clan, that's why they're going back to the drawing board and trying to fix this ****** thing.
