If there is something that we can understand from this Election is that all political trends have failed in the Election
Now you can say that for example Salaf have increased their seat count , but thats not the area where i think all parties failed
What i speak of is going into the election as a party with similar or identical ideology or mentality
Let me explain my point here by giving couple of examples
In the second district , Khalid Sultan bin Essa is representing Salaf and was the Salaf candidate together with Abdullatif AlAmeeri
both won , but lets see their numbers [ number taken from Alrai Site ]
Khalid Sultan bin Essa third place with 8687 votes ( خالد السلطان )
Abdullatif AlAmeeri eights place with 5361 votes ( عبداللطيف العميرى )
aka there is 3326 vote deference that would mean there are over 38% of Khalid Sultan bin Essa voters who do not believe in his partner !!
( who was chosen whom he share the same ideology and mentality )
we notice the same thing with Democratic Alliance
Mohamed AlSager 6266 ( محمد الصقر )
Mohamed AlAbdulljader 3636 ( محمد العبدالجادر )
there is a 2630 deference that would mean there are over 41% of the people who voted for Mohamed AlSager didn’t vote for Mohamed AlAbdulljader ! ( who supposedly share the same ideology and mentality with )
Same thing with the Islamic Constitutional Movement ( Muslim brotherhood )
Jama’an AlHarbish 6496 votes (جمعان الحربش )
i couldn’t get the official numbers for Dua’j AlShamari ( دعيج الشمرى ) but i assume he got less than the guy at number 10 spot we lets assume he got 3600
that would mean there is at least 2896 vote deference between them and they are from the same party / movement
Well i do hope this serve as a wake up call for political trends and go back to politic 101 else our democracy wouldn’t evolve
