Parliamentary Election

This decides the destiny of a country

China’s “parliamentary” election has been world famous cause people themselves don’t even stand a chance to know who the hell are firstly selected to vote on behalf of them. But we do know these guys much have strong background and we do not care so much anyway cause those supposed to have won at the election are already predestined, all of which is just procedural business.
The 2009 parliamentary election has been heated up to the fullest and by the end of september there’s going to be a result. Firstly, the competition and sometimes also defamation between parties turns out to be very interesting. Friendly colleagues become enemies all of a sudden (as this session of the German government is an alliance of several parties) and elective posters prove to make a lot of fun, especially over the charming lady, madam Merkel. I just can’t wait to watch the TV debate of chancellor candidates, at which the same to American presidential debate I just keep on thinking that those two guys standing there must want to kick the ass of the other very much although they try hard to hold self-control. Secondly, I was somehow surprised by the enthusiastic involvement of every German, totally out of their willingness. One German friend who lives in Beijing even sent his voting letter across oceans to Germany just in oder to let his voice heard, among the 82 Million people! One other German then explained to me: “I have to be there in any case not because I want which party to be elected, but I want the party that I hate to fall.” In China I was so politically indifferent, but now here gradually you’ll feel the political environment exerting influence on your personal life, such as insurance fee, tuition, relevant policies on foreigners and so on.
To cite the words of one German friend who studies politics as the end of the article: “Julius, will you devote yourself to the change the Chinese elective mechanism and finally also the democratic situation?” A cat has seven lives but I only have one.
