The United Kindom did its elections on Thursday 7th May, 2015. Over 50million Britons registered voters were eligible to vote in 50,000 polling stations across the Kingdom.
The campaigns were very peaceful, dwelling on important ideological matters affecting the British people. From United Kingdom's stability, economic growth, the European Union issue to working class matters, it was seemingly a close contest between Conservatives and Labour according to pollsters before the voting.
A toal of 650 Pariamentary seats in the House of Commons, and 9,000 Council seats across 279 English councils were up for grap. UKIP leader Nigel Farage, Labour leader Ed Miliband, Greens leader Natalie Bennett, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, Conservative leader David Cameron, Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg and and Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood led their parties in the elections.
The results gave Conservatives a total of 331 seats contrary to what opinion polls had predicated. David Cameron was thus given fresh mandate for another term as Britain's Prime Minister.
If it were in Kenya, Labour's Ed Miliband and Lib Dem's Nick Clegg would be calling press conferences, denouncing the British election results, claiming massive rigging and instigating tension in the country!
In contrast, the two congratulated Conservatives' David Cameron and then resigned from party positions for failing to lead their parties to victory!
This is the difference between genuineness to serve versus hunger for power; civilization versus backwardness and democratic maturity versus tribal and partisan political fallacies
Are Kenyan political leaders and their enslaved followers learning? The fallacy that it's not free and fair until our own wins is a tragic hemorrhage of logic.
