As i said in a past post ( on the collaboration blog 5-q8<\/a> ) the act of voting is a victory for democracy<\/p>\n

But as always , someone has to come and Rain on our Parade
\nBBC<\/a> posted news about the Kuwaiti Elections and this part really piss me off<\/p>\n

Excluded from the ballot were foreign expatriates, who make up the majority of Kuwait’s 2.9-million population, and military personnel<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Excuse me ? why did they go out of their Way to point out that Expatriates do not Vote , What country does let Expatriates Vote in their Election ? do England do it ? The guardian<\/a> List foreigners workers at over 2 million , did they vote on the last parliament Election in England ? i don’t think so , else there would have been at least couple of polish parliament members in the English parliament<\/p>\n

Do Foreigners vote in US Election ? as far as i know till they get the nationality their vote is not counted else there would have been larger number of Hispanic in congress ?<\/p>\n

I advice you all to contact the BBC using this Form<\/a><\/p>\n

just write something in Comments like this<\/p>\n

It is obnoxious and appalling that you talk about expatriate as not voting in the Kuwaiti Election when it is a none issue as no country in the world allow Expatriate to vote unless they are nationalized , was this point mentioned when reporting the latest election in England or the presidential race in United State of America ? or was this point specially raised to paint the Kuwaiti Election with negative image ?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

or any comments about the story that come to your mind<\/p>\n
