Suffrage

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Is there any country in the world that doesnt' have universal suffrage.

I know there are loads of places where elections are not free and fair but is there anywhere where people still don't nominally have the vote?

    Most of the world dont have decent elections.

    I'm fairly sure Saudia Arabia doesnt allow women to vote, if thats what you were asking.

    United Arab Emirates no direct election
    China no direct election
    Oman no direct election
    Brunei no direct election
    Saudi Arabia no direct election
    Qatar no direct election

    Also this is interesting (according to this Saudi Arabia is the least democratic country in the world)

    Its called Myanmar actually, though virtually everyone in the Western World still calls it Burma.

    I'd be surprised if they have elections at all, haven't they been having a nasty and long running civil war?

    Take a look at the countries which have decent elections and then those that dont, ask yourself, where would I rather live?

    Who gives a shit?

    Liberal democracy is a form of oligarchy and is a worthless system.

    A, if you're going to be a troll at least don't make it so obvious who you are each time you post. Just some advice...

    B, True democracy is not a form of oligarchy, British 'democracy' is.
