Oops: Azerbaijan released election results before voting had even started (The Washington Post)
The Washington Post
came across a nice story about the incredible advances of democracy in
Azebaijan. The results were already known before voting started. Now there is
nothing original about that. In Luxembourg we also know the results before
voting starts, BUT we don't publish them.
There are of course
numerous advantages with Azerbaijan's straight forward attitude. It is first of
all proof of genuine honesty to come out with the strategy beforehand. Why hide
what you are doing? The benefits are multiple: winners and losers may work on
their winner/losers speeches before sunset. No need for anyone, public,
journalists, and candidates to stay up late at night waiting for results.
National electricity consumption stays flat. And innovative thinkers should
ponder the idea to even further enhance the voters' experience and satisfaction
in just simply cancelling the next election, as we know the outcome beforehand.
Organizing elections, going to vote is a huge national harassment. By getting rid
of it, the Administrative Simplification Reform wouldn't remain a vain word.
Make that three words though.
Now I must live in fear
not only that someone might be out there, who believes that I'm talking seriously,
but that this person is from Luxembourg.
