Campaign posters, campaign t-shirts, campaign balloons, campaign tall-person-in-a-Tweety costume (no kidding, freaky almost daunting)… Unaware by yours truly, there was an election going on at the campus to elect the new Student Body President.
This got me to think; democracy has been talked about so much lately.
It might be the last time we see Matt Ward welcoming new students to the University of Wolverhampton, if the underdog Susan Toole doesn’t succeed to impress the students with whatever manifesto she’s proposing. (I honestly don’t know what is going on in the Uni’s election state of affairs; this is only what I’ve picked up from the campaigners). Democracy
America is on the verge of having their ‘first’…. it is either a First Lady President or a First Colored President, considering if the Republicans are still behind the Democrats by hundreds. Democracy.
In the 1790s, when the Royal Kingdom of France was overthrown by the people for their injustice and unfair taxes, the world was introduce to a system where a man’s right was upheld. The voices of people hailed louder than one single man called King. Democracy.
It was by the power of unity that the Galactic Republic subsisted. But when ultimate power was given to High Chancellor Palpatine that we started to see the Republic collapsed and the whole Galactic System subside. Failure in Democracy.
What is it about democracy? It’s everywhere nowadays. So popular, even the No. 1 entertainment show in the world, American Idol was believed to have adopted the concept of democracy.
Excuse my childish interpretation of democracy, or rather my Star Wars interpretation of it, but shouldn’t it be the uninfluenced voices of people determines the government and how it should be run, and without unfair advantage on any competing party? An almost perfect system, don't you think?
So why does my beloved country display a tarnished version of it?
Abdul Wahib: Inilah namanya Demokrasi
Abdul Wahab: Demokrasi apa?
Abdul Wahib: Demokrasi Terpimpin
Abdul Wahab: Demokrasi Terpimpin kepala hotak kau!!
p/s- ngantuk, so any grammatical and spelling error amatlah dikesali...
