talking about something political , you may not agree with what i said but that doesn’t make your or my opinion not right
I have talked before about , but it seem the world realy think we are that great
there was this
and this
and now this
Najah Wakim, during an interview with Al-Manar Satellite Channel that Kuwait is funding a campaign to provoke sectarianism in Lebanon through some Lebanese media
of Course , kuwait denied it , but who would belive us the superpower !
I’m going to talk about what I think would happen in the parliament Election after women were granted the right to vote , most of what I would write here is what I think based on some statistic ( will mention them when I include them ) and mostly word of the mouth and observation
So don’t take my word as a absolute fact, I could be mistaken, I could be right
Anyway, since I was talking with other bloggers about the Second District (Thahyat Abdullah AlSalim)
First little information from Ministry of interior
At the moment the district has 2283 voters, and in the past 4 election the trend was 10% increase in size
So the men count would be around 2500, add women to the mix, I’ll assume women are 40 % the count of men in the district, so the total would be around 3500
Now to check the people who may run for the next election in this district?
First we have
Abdullah AlNibari, ran 4 time since 1992 won 3 and lost the forth time
Now AlNibari tried to run on the bases that he was stopping theft of public money and he wanted to let women vote (a secondary theme for the campaign) but lost
Although the district had 230 more voters he had 241 vote less than his last time he lost around 28% votes
He kept on losing because people wanted new blood, and he still isn’t a new blood so he would keep on losing more people
Also if marzooq AlGhanim ran, he would lose part of his voting Block, the traditional trade voters
not ot mention if any liberal lady ran for election she would just take all what he would gain from women voters , and some of his men voting block
Secondly we have Abdullwahab AlHaroon ran 3 times since 1996 and still keep his seat
A lot speculate that AlHaroon had a partnership with AlNibari, since most vote ballets had both their names together; also AlHaroon had a big drop like AlNibari, from 941 votes to 652 with a loss of 289 aka 30%
Also if marzooq AlGhanim ran, he would lose part of his voting Block, the traditional trade voters
Third is the Talk of the Majlis, Mohammed AlMutair, who ran one time and won it
Mohammed AlMutair voter base was the widest, from far left to far right; he got a sample out of every group
and his vote did anger some of his voters , but he have those who agree with him and voted for him , and are now agreeing that he is the man to continue , he did gain extra voters and lost some voters
Also if marzooq AlGhanim ran, he would lose part of his voting Block, young and hip people, because Marzooq is famous because sport, and that a + factor for Marzooq
Forth is Marzooq AlGhanim , who everyone is sure that he would run for election , since he is leading Kuwait sport club , which is the most used jumping point for politics ( Ahmad Alsaadon was Kazma sport club president , and Mohammed AlSager was Kuwait sport club president before also )
What is his chance? I think he has a big chance to win, if he can run the same gig AlMutair do (get sampler out of each group)
Of course it’s not going to be easy for him; Ali Thunayan AlGhanim (his father) did run in 1992 and got 311 votes
If he ran for election he can get a bigger chunk of Traditional trade voters who are the main block in the district
Fifth is Salah AlAbdullJader who ran 3 times since 1996 and lost in them all
Which show he lost 87 votes aka 14%
Would he run again next time? I’m sure of it, there is the woman factor now, which may be the thing that would let him got the parliament seat this time
His strongest point is that he gain from women vote, but he follow Islamic brotherhood whose two parliament members voted against women vote, not that his voters block would suffer much from it, but it could hurt him a bit
And Marzooq AlGhanim running wouldn’t hurt him much like the others, his voting Block aren’t ones to be pulled by Marzooq AlGhanim
What I think is that if a liberal lady ran with AlHaroon with AlNibari saying he support them, they have a very big chance of winning the district but that wouldn’t happen in Kuwait, we enjoy backstabbing too much
So if all five I mention run, plus a liberal lady and another liberal guy and Marzooq failed to get a bigger chunk out of young voters AlMutair and AlAbdullJader would win it if they exchanged votes
Which also I don’t think would happen because some of AlMutair voter block do not like Islamic brotherhood
(Part of Salaf support AlMutair for lack of Salafi guy in the district and Salaf think they don’t Islamic brotherhood partnership to gain parliament seats)
If there was no partnership or exchange of votes, AlHaroon and AlGhanim would take the seats
( did you like my writeup ? any thing you think missing , want more ? comment 😛 )
not only we spied on Russia !
but we are sending soliders to sudan [via]
Kuwait has agreed to dispatch 150 troops to a UN peacekeeping force being deployed to back a January peace deal which ended two decades of civil war in southern Sudan
step by step , today sudan , tomorow Europe !
by the way , there is a another rally for women right to vote tomorow , this one setup by the student of kuwait universities
so hopefully they break 300 this time 😛
we are spying on Russia ! wow
Patrushev said his agency, which is known by its Russian acronym FSB and is the main successor to the Soviet KGB, “has prevented a series of espionage operations carried out through foreign non-governmental organizations.”
He said the groups included the Peace Corps — which pulled out of Russia in 2003 amid FSB spying allegations — as well as the British medical charity Merlin, the “Saudi Red Crescent” and a Kuwaiti group he called the Society of Social Reforms.
cool ! do we have a 007 also ? we should do a movie like XxX
Remember that thing? Yeah I’ll have it listed as oldies, do you remember when people went out on a rally? Less than 400 people! , So it was like hi, there are less than 400 Kuwaiti’s who agree women should have the right to vote and then it stopped there.
Why aren’t they going on weekly or hell monthly rallies? (I’m not going to call for daily, like hell that would happen) don’t women want that right? Am I missing something here?
My god I can’t even find stickers on cars asking for it! And most Kuwaitis do support a lot of stuff, like No fear & fcuk political parties
Again the Question ask it self, do they want it? I heard some say they want, I do know some who work for it from time to time, but I’m sure 5-7 people alone isn’t what I think should be done
Why for example isn’t there a rally in front of any of the parliament members that could change their vote, like Almutair? Going to his house and calling him to vote for, with a rally of 200 women and men of the area that would show that they want it, and add pressure on him
Or make rallies in the same day in front of the parliament members houses, if there was 10 rallies in front of some members it could really show that they want and are fighting for it, not just not sit back and relax.
I read about the debate between Jassim Alsaqer and guest of god father of the throw , that was bad, truly bad, couldn’t they, and chose a bit better ones?
Also it seem women right to vote for the Municipality council didn’t pass, it had some stuff I didn’t expects, like some people who didn’t vote and I though they would be for, or the tactic of not voting, which was stranger
(The fact that it’s happen to be a good trick to kill the vote point to one member who is known to be knowledgeable in the constitution, which is something I still can’t understand, since that member clearly stated he is going to vote for)
Ask your selves, am I for women vote? And what did I do to show that?
