Change Through Elections
|
This means that we believe that people must freely elect the person who will lead our country. We will never elect a dictator. As for you it means that you will freely elect for yourself who will lead us. If you chose the wrong person, it is your fault and if you chose the right person, it is to your credit. Some people say that these people in state and government do nothing at all, which might be true. But the people have chosen them themselves, you know? Nobody grabbed their hand forcefully and made them sign, nobody demanded them by force to choose. In old times, dictators made us elect someone by force. There were elections held, but we chose only one person’s name. Elect this one [laughs] and that is it, and we could not give another person’s name. Now they give us names of a lot of people, you know? They tell us to elect who we like, you know? I guess democracy means choosing on your own, maybe.
