Why don't we chose the right version in the election day?


Every person wants to live a healthy life endowed with bountiful economic benefits and social liberties, proud of his own achievements and respect of his neighbors. This description can be attributed to any being disregarding of his socio-political orientations or his geo-political preferences. This truth has a simple explanation - the humans are actors driven by rationality. That is why when it comes to express their political preferences they will chose only the best from the offered option, that comes with maximum benefits for him personally, his family members and the community/society he lives in. This system however can work only in a democratic society where different political options compete among themselves on a stage with an open and free public tribune. Where the political field is even and gives equal chances to all political options. When, the microphone installed on the public tribune invites everyone and everyone has the right to speak freely. And finally, where the political competition for hearts is won based on the principle of social Darwinism. As a consequence, the most advanced and rational electoral offer expressed in an open, public and free contest comes to win. Thus, the elections based on democratic principles, offer voters the chance to choose the most appropriate and suitable version of future.

Poverty and depression however comes to town when people make choices that directly damage their interests. This does not happen because of their fault. This happens when the choice options are artificially limited by some of the competitors who consider that to keep the political concurrent out of the game is fare. Thus they limit their access to resources and mainly the access to the public microphone. In this type of game the voter does not have the chance to choose the best option. This is because they never heard about this version.

This unprecedented escalation of religious activism forced in some cases the national governments to adjust their political vector to the religious demands of society, while in others led to the overthrow of civil governments, thus transforming secular states in religious ones. Moreover, it seems that the revitalization of religious values is not a phenomenon bound to a specific type of society with a particular set of political, economic or social values but affects all types of states independent of their religion, geographic location or form of political organization. In this sense, we could follow the rise and fall of a wide variety of revivals taking place around the world throughout the twentieth century, in particular. For instance, Garfein (n.a.) notes the oc...

Extraterritorial Voting as a Form of Emigrants’ Political Participation (Author: Mark Mazureanu)

In this post I will try to answer the question whether the emigrants constitute a powerful mechanism to exercise political pressure on the domestic elites to bring institutional reforms and political representation home considering the emigrants right to take part in domestic elections . The emigrants's non-electoral power is discussed in the previous post . I will answer the raised question by resuming the predominant scholarly arguments based on individual observations or large and small N analyzes. This material can be used to understand to which extent Moldova emigration has the possibility to influence the political process home, considering their rights to take part in elections. Research on extraterritorial voting is still scarce considering that historically only few states granted their emigrants the right to vote while abroad (Barry, 2006; Rubio-Marin, 2006; Tager, 2006; Waldrauch, 2003). Yet, in the last decade, states have increasingly created frameworks for dua...
