Well, unfortunately i have no idea where u come from,  The only way is to have the Eu or USA or UN monitor the elections and then make sure that people were allowed to vote freely and w/o temptation.  IN the short run nothing ill change as far as corruption, but in the long run, things might change, give it time... thats the key

We still vote in the USA we are not a dictatorship. We also have a president that is willing (no matter what kind of crap is thrown his way) to stand up for our democracy and others. Think about not being able to leave the country, have any control over who you work for, or be able to vote.

Because there aren't any good candidates.  You don't get past the local level of politics without having a few skeletons in your closet.  Politics are too corrupt these days.

I've already heard mention that some investigation of Bush's conduct in office will probably be instituted in the future. Right now the Dems are savoring their win and will proceed slowly at first. Don't look for too much rhetoric about this investigation until after the Dems take control in January. We still have two months of a lame duck Republican congress to endure.

I hope we are not from the same country but i guess we have the same problem. When the people in your community will come to realize that their votes during election is not for sale maybe something can be done. You can make a difference by starting to fight for a cause not for your own vested interest but for the people.

You could debate that point. \n\nWhen election boards suddenly find a box of ballots that has just enough votes for their candidate to win (example - the last Washington Governor election), you could probably say it was rigged.\n\nIt is only certain that an election was rigged if Jimmy Carter certifies it.

I think there are several layers to this. One is the moral question, however hypocritical, it will always be raised in such cases as John Prescott or whomever is implicated. Another is the absolute media frenzy such titillating stories always stir up, especially in Britain. There is simply no escaping this. Finally, in this particular instance, it is the cumulative effect these scandals (Charles Clarke's incompetence alone was enough to create this media firestorm) are having on Tony Blair's leadership. The opposition have of course pounced on these so-called breach of trust issues and they'll not let go until they exact their pound of flesh. This isn't just politics UK style, it's politics the world over.

We voted for corruption or corruption.  Seems we got corruption.

it says that our current government is doing a bad job governing the country as a whole. It's just that simple believe it or not. \n\nSometimes it gets so bad that partisanship doesn't even matter anymore and voters from other parties will vote for candidates other than their own.

Politicians have no morals.\n\n\nThey have polls instead

Not at all, the Republican slime and steal sceme was in full force last night as before. One poll worker even physically choked a voter and threw them out! There's one flaw to their plan to steal any election...It has to be close. Otherwise, there's not enough room for 20,000 ballots to fall from the sky. Last night was a tidal wave of Dems, that left no margin for a Republican heist. We still have several voting issues in this country.

How about this!! The recent mid-term elections were covered quite differently both across the country and around the world. Some European papers down played the election as ho-hum; while other played it as a near overthrowing of the United States. This should give you something to work with.

The coasts are liberal (blue) states. They don't care about being fair they want power. Evidenced by recent, except this past, elections they can't win on a level field. \n\n\nSupporters don't care about negative consequences, they too only want to win. Why, after recent elections all had lawsuits, did this past election not have any?  Because the liberals won, so nobody cheated this time? I don't buy it!

I think that usually the people "bad mouthing" their leaders ARE the people who voted for the other candidate.  As long as you vote, you have the right to criticize anyone you want!  It's the non-voters who need to shut their traps!

I've been out of Canada for 14 months and didn't vote in the last election, but I hope not!  I will be watching this space to see what other (more informed) Canucks write!  Thanks for the question.

We currently have a dysfunctional school board that spends all of its time arguing with and dissing other members of the board.  Last fall, a major school bond issue failed, because voters have no trust in the board.  We have recently gotten a new superintendent and I hope that he will be able to turn things around.
