Ok..the newly democratic country of Bhutan is now about to have the 2nd General Elections. Tuesday is the National Council Elections. So, first people have to see the candidates debate and hear them answer questions asked by the electorate. Just to show you how things are going... day before yesterday, in one of the big districts in the east- Samdrup Jongkhar, all the three candidates had to do was stare at each other while no one, zero number of people turned up. Is that indifference or ignorance of the democratic process?
I myself will not be bothering to vote this time. A huge number of other Bhutanese will also not be voting for various reasons ranging from "own village too far to go to vote" to "couldn't be bothered"...
This is just the way the story goes....
