Iranians head to polls in snap presidential election after death of Ebrahim Raisi

Iranians are casting their votes in an emergency snap election after the death of Ebrahim Raisi who was killed in a helicopter crash.

The ballot is tightly controlled by an assembly of clerics and jurists and all of it ultimately takes place under the watchful eye of the Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Only four presidential candidates remain in the election in what is perhaps the only chance for the electorate to make any kind of point.

"Voter apathy is a protest against the regime"

Okay, now report the British elections with the same standards. ~40% of the population refusing to vote is a condemnation of Parliamentary democracy.

Moreover, Syed Ali Khamina'ee urge people to cast their votes, it's his moral duty as a leader of Iranian nation. Shah was a brutal autocrat, Musaddiq was done a coup by the British dogs and yet they talk of democracy and human rights.
Interestingly, British is a monarchy and have elections as well. Either of them has powers! But democracy and kingship is like the union of two contradictory items which is impossible. Then it's pretty understood that who actually runs and controls the great britain.

Really, eating pigs is very immoral and indecent.

All the while the news reader forgets that his own democracy is a sham at best, and a duopoly at worst.
