Voting Tahalof

With voting set to start in less than 8 hours, it all comes down to 4 (or less) ticks on a piece of paper to choose the next batch of politicians to lead our country for the next 4 (or less) years. I am personally going to be voting for Tahalof, as their views echo mine (in respect to the other candidates).

For those of you who are heading to the ballot box tomorrow, I leave you with a fitting quote from Thomas Sowell:

“If you have been voting for politicians who promise to give you goodies at someone else’s expense, then you have no right to complain when they take your money and give it to someone else, including themselves”

  5. Shoxin says:

    To be honest, there is no politician these days that has 5air in his mind, they start out thinking they’ll be the best good guys ever…

    Then after sometime the money rolls in and they’ll go “I said I was going to be for the people? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOL”

    But anyway goodluck with your votes and hope the ones you do get are actually good, and won’t just turn on you the next day.

  8. crocko rock says:

    Mark, why do my comments keep ‘awaiting moderation’ – fix it up please buddy.

  9. Bo-Bader says:

    I just hope we don’t see any of the dinosaurs again

  10. Sfsa78 says:

    tahalof is obviously the safest bet… Dont fall for silly speeches from the likes of m alganim, nor the sounds of hadas or salafi beard scratching propaganda of turning our country into another Saudi or Iran.

  11. Sfsa78 says:

    by the way.. All tahalof candidates have the same agenda… They numorously asked for all their candidates to be voted for.. In order for them to make a difference they need all tahalof members because remember that in parliament its strength in numbers.

  12. sold says:

    sold my vote for 3000, thats the best im going to get from these fakes

  13. Damon Dash says:

    I’m proud to say that this is my third time in a row not voting and i hope the number of intelligent kuwaiti non voters increase this year until one day “hopefully” we have a Kuwait with either a real democracy or no democracy at all better than this “so called” fake democracy that we live in

  14. Yousef says:

    Damon Dash, Don’t you think thats a bit too passive?

  15. jojo says:

    It is simple ! HH The Ameer threw the ball in the court of the people ! We have to let him know if we care about the future of Kuwait by making our choice for the Parliament.Meaning which Kuwait do we want ? Futurestic ? Same Status-Quo or Backward ?
    The choice is ours.
    I vote Tahalof ,but none in my District 5 !!
    Electing One or two Women for Parliamnet will definetly indicates our desire for change

  16. Ansam says:

    Their views echo mine as well.

  23. crocko rock says:

    Elections seem to be a flop so far. Only 25% turnout heading into the Afternoon.

    Hopefully this will show the world that the people of Kuwait no longer believe in their system.

  24. zaydoun says:

    Politics on 248am.com??? What is the world coming to???!!!!!

  25. Cymraeg says:

    I’d vote for them for that font. What is it? (the roman characters, not the arabic).

  26. Sheep says:

    Vote for the dudes and dudettes that are Anti-Segregation please.. We don’t want to continue to regress as a nation and for those of you who choose not to vote.. good job.. hand your country over to the corrupt and narrowminded.

  27. kwt23 says:

    the best (for me) out of all this stuff is wen videos on utube appear with ppl selling their votes :P

  28. G-Child says:

    K.

    You have no right to express your voting decision on a public blog! Please save that right for your voting ballot. We don’t want to hear whom you are going to vote for. And personally I don’t agree with your choice.

  29. K.theKuwaiti says:

    G-Child:
    Humor me .. why am I not allowed to express my voting decision?

  30. M says:

    Altahaluf

  31. Realist says:

    The winners have not changed much. I could say if anything, it only looks worse. I say pack your bags and be prepared for a shitty storm. All the winners might get A’s is speech class, but a majority will get F’s in everything else. Great speaches are good, but it makes no use to anyone if you really don’t understand what to do next.

    You don’t need a crystal ball to know whats going to happen next, coz we’re gonna be doing this again very soon.

  32. Pyython says:

    When is the new parliament gonna get elected ? Heard its May 19th or something…

  33. Sharm says:

    seems like all the extremists made it back. No hope for us.

    “التيارات تتراجع باستثناء السلف”

    http://www.alqabas.com.kw/Final/NewspaperWebsite/NewspaperPublic/ArticlePage.aspx?ArticleID=394858

    “صباح اليوم، اعلنت نتائج انتخابات مجلس الامة التي عقدت لأول مرة بنظام الدوائر الخمس، وبلغت نسبة المقترعين فيها %69، وانتهت بفوز 18 اسلاميا وخمسة شيعة و3 من التحالف الوطني الديموقراطي و3 من الحركة الدستورية الاسلامية و4 من السلف.

    http://alwatan.com.kw/Default.aspx?MgDid=630239&pageId=26

    “فوز كاسح للإسلاميين بانتخابات الكويت والمرأة تفشل مجددا”

    “الإسلاميون السنة والشيعة فازوا بأكثر من نصف مقاعد البرلمان (الفرنسية)”

    http://aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/F5BD6542-BF47-4A71-8DDA-2266A3ECEA0F.htm

    Ah, what a beautiful day. All in all, Islamists won like what, 25 seats? I haven’t counted them yet myself, but I’m told they’re now half of parliament, give or take. Now that the people of Kuwait have spoken yet again, I’ll wait for the amusing moaning and whining about how “those people don’t represent Kuwait.” At the end of the day, talk is always cheap and votes speak louder than words. Twenty five, five, or two and a half electoral districts; it doesn’t matter. There’s no stopping the monstrous Islamist candidacy machine with its robust voting base.

    All praise is due to God, by whose blessing all good is acomplished :)
