Is anyone else thinking how she managed to travel to so many different countries just to take a scene of her saying one sentence referencing that country?

*India just concluded their month and a half long "election festival", where over 600 million people voted (out of the 900 million eligible voters). That was the largest democratic exercise on the planet, where constitutionally a polling booth is available within 2 kilometers or less from every citizen, from urban cities to villages to mountains to jungles, and everything in between. Indian's election operations are studied as a case study in many business schools around the world.*

People of so many different countries organizing democratically is admirable. No wonder why the EU won a nobel peace prize.

They forgot to mention Parliament doesn't write the laws.

In Czechia, we have open vote system, but as I know, pretty much everyone selects just a party because people are lazy to actually think about those specific people on parties and select them, they don't do enough research about that and then vote just party, but it's a cool system anyway that you can actually change who will be sitting there

[lol-yoho]

We want this system in Asian countries also

[lothean]

And you thought the electoral college was fucked up in America.
