The electoral umpire in the United Kingdom should, as a matter of urgency, deploy her men to a ‘certain’ country in Africa where the real election are being conducted for training at a no-cost. The election in that “certain” country last year was so free, fair and credible that the Prime Minister of your country was the first world leader to congratulate the winner of the poll.
I have been following the ongoing election (or is it selection?) in the United Kingdom and I must wholeheartedly confess that I am not impressed with the conduct.
How can a country, purported to be in an advanced and developed state, conduct such an election with such defeaning decorum?
My long stay on Twitter, as a self-accredited election observer wasn’t worth it. I burnt my pitiable data, carefully following up on the event, looking out, anxiously for what really “matters” in an election and I was heavily disappointed.
How can you dare say you are choosing your leaders without the “life” of an election, without following the unwritten process of a normal election – The fear of the known and unknown, the lousiness and uncouthness of the “Egbon Adugbos”, the desperations of the party agents, the long queues that leads to nowhere, the corrupt-mindedness of the election conductors, the over-bombardment of security inputs, the obvious exchange of power of the thumb for crispy notes and the hopelessness reeking out of the faces of voter.

That says alot about the credibility and integrity of the electoral body in the said country.
UK Election, a real election or mere selection?
