A giant douche and turd sandwich- the political dilemma in a M country....

Okay, i am afraid of being caught under ISA or akta hasutan, so for the following content i will just use some abbreviation where only the people know.

First, election is always a choice between giant douche and turd sandwich. In other words, the voter is always choose to vote between 2 rotten apple. The only different is that one apple rotten less, thats it.

For example, in a country M, the ruling party is well known of corruption, playing dirty trick( like sodomy, ISA etc), distributing sweeties during election time only, and wish to build a nation focus on one particular race only. While the opposition parties is known as hard to cooperate among each other, still not capable of ruling, and worse, starting to adopt the style and bad behaviour of the ruling party.

So, how do we choose between a giant douche and turd sandwich? A boy in southpark name Stanley Marsh faced the same dilemma as us before, and he gave the solution : Voted against those who threatening you during the election.

Besides choosing a leader, the meaning of the election is to sent a message to the future ruling party about what the voters dont want. In other ways, it served as the tool to control a government, especially in country M where there is always overlapping of power between execution , legislation and even juridical power. Which all of them are control by one party.
Hence, it will not be surprise when some member of ruling party threatened other races about reoccurring of certain event without being taken action. It will not be surprise that the federal government can punished the state government controlled by opposition party, ( like take away the petroleum tax, abandoned development plan, etc.) without receiving consequences.

Hence, election is the only way that we can do something to control the government. To be clear, in a country that exercising Westminster political system like country M, The existent of humble government servants, ensure that the shift of power after election go smoothly and thus reduce the damage when incapable politicians doing their jobs ( as for now). Hence, the parties compete in the election is always consist of giant douche and turd sandwich. The only difference is that we have to say no, when the ruling party goes wrong.
