Puntland Democracy Sucks

[DR OSMAN]

I watched it all. Apparently they are going to do a pilot project first on a few districts at local level before scaling out to region-wide. Does anyone support Democracy? Besides copying or imitating the Europe and America, is there any real legitimate reason you support this type of governance? I personally hate it. My reasons are below.

1. 4 years isn't enough time to build a nation
2. Time is wasted on arguments and voting
3. Population isn't Idealogical at all, it's not even their mind-set
4. Population isn't financially independent so it's difficult they think independently
5. Population isn't educated so the chances their idealogical is nil
6. Every position in the world in leadership have to pass interviews, tests, have CV not argue people 'voted' for me. Can you imagine doctors, scientists arguing their elected to their job? I prefer a panel of excellence selecting our leaders of educated people then millions of idiots.

Anyways why didn't PL do democracy way before any-ways? I can understand 98-2009 period we were heavily involved in estabilishing the Federal government in Mogadishu, setting a nation state, recovering our United Nation membership role. But once Farole came it should've been done by then.

Why did Farole government fail to achieve it? I heard it wasn't done properly Farole Democratic Agenda and it was rushed and not agreed on. Ok that is one fail. Why did Gaas not do it then? There is no excuse for Gaas to skip it.

Finally as puntites what type of democracy are you even looking for? Parliamentarian system of UK/Australia where people vote for 'members of parliament' at their district level based on parties. So in your district you could have 5 parties and 5 candidates and who-ever scores the highest in that district gets that district seat in Parliament.

The funny thing is how we going to agree on 'districts'? population? there is no way the current way districts are done are going to be a model that gives anyone confidence to respect the election outcomes. The biggest part of legitimatcy in election is how you carve your districts, villages, towns and the rule you use to determine how many seats they get. The rule must be 'consistent' meaning applied to all equally not to just some and others another rule.

If we are to follow a SL model of democracy we might as well give up now. It's tribal that shit and u know it, all their parties are based on and voted on tribal lines. There is no point having a fake democracy, your living again in denial of reality on the ground. We must test to see if PL is ready for democracy before we even go ahead with it.

What are the Pre-requisites for democracy must also be agreed on. The IQ levels needed. The financial independence level ratios. Culture change that needs to happen. How is clan going to be eliminated and the model needs to be shown and proven. How are campaigns of parties going to be funded? by whom? are we going to be held hostage to local businesses or foreign nation donor funds? Lots of people cry democracy cause they think it's the cool thing around today, but it's the most divisive and slowest system in the world to operate in.

Look at China. no democracy and in 30 years is tipped to be NO 1 in power and money. If they had democracy, it would take another 300 years not 30 years.
