will the commisioner release the voters list

its almost a wek since the referendum and still ther is no official voting result. the 11 member commitee demands the commisioner hand over the list of people who voted in the referendum. and the opposition published a report saying that 25000 people on the list published by the elections commisioner are people who are either dead or not elogoble to vote. some people say that people who were dead also seems to have voted.if the commissioner released the list of people who voted will this allegation and speculation stop or will it increase?. the result released by the commisioner states that more than 150000 people did actually participate in the voting. this accoridng to the opposition is not true. they say the initial list released by the commisioner include 180000 people while he commisioner announced at that time that more than 194000 are eligibale to vote. and the other thing that makes doubt in peoples mind is while the commisoner admitted that they printed 300000 ballot papers why did they print additional ballot papers for the re-voting of addu. ther are so many unanswered questions that makes people not trust the results

Most view the the current system as dictatorship

http://mhud.gov.mv/Pdf/drafthp/National_Housing_Policy-Public_consultation_paper.pdf

another resignation?

today there was a rumour that Dr shaheed , the foreign minister has resigned. i couldnt beleive what i heard so i did what i always do when i hear such things. try to establish the truth in these rumours.i asked different people about it all of them have the same answer. there is a rumour that he has resigned. so i went through the local newspaper websites. they say he said that he haven't resigned yet.one newspaper even claimed that he had an understanding to make the resignation secret till sunday.another newspaper qouted him as saying that he met the president today and he told the president " i dont want to let corrupt politician do whatever they want" and the president is said to have told " he would all support to pull out the corrupton". what ever the case the fact is something happened today and there are some reservation on Dr shaheed about the government. what did he mean by "corrupt politicians". does this mean that what Dr saeed and jaleel said after resigning is true?. what ever it is this shows that there are problems inside the government and it needs to solve the issues whithin itself. if DRP is the ruling party then it needs to resolve the issue within the party.is this the start of the fall of the current government?. How will the president tackle this resignation issue. will the people trust the replacement for the government. well lets wait till sunday to see if the rumours that are circulating now are true. lets just wait

People Prefer Dhirhaaghu over wataniya

the poll that i published in my blog has shown people still prefer choosing dhirhaaghu over wataniya out of the 32 people who voted 18 people prefer dhirhaaghu while 14 prefer wataniya. either dhirhaghu managed to handle the competition well than wataniya.well wataniya needs to do more to take the lead

it seems presidential wins

the vote counting is going on and it seems presidential is winning the race. with the current result it seems 102584 people have voted. it seems a high turnout for voting. well will the opposition accept the results. both DRP and MDP have filed complaints of fraud. and they are reporting that one ballot box in addu havent still been closed and counting has not yet started. what would happen after the final result?. lets see what would happen in the coming days

Voting Differences Chart

check this link to see a chart discribing the trend of presidential and parlimentary system with each area http://www.haveeru.com.mv/vote/chart.php

Presidential Takes over parlimentary

the result of the voting is coming and it seems that presidential takes over parlimentary http://www.miadhu.com.mv/ what is the reason has the opposition nopt been able to give their message or have they failed to give good information about the voting.

Maldivians abroad stripped of theor rights

it now 3 days till the referendum and their still hasnt been a way organised for the people abroad can vote. every time the president give a speech he says this is a good democracy and yet the people abroad has been stripped of their righ to have a say in the future of their country how very democratic. the elections commisioner blame it on the special majlis.how very good. have we not thought about it for 30 years because of the majlis?. too bad the attorney general resigned otherwise he may have advised the president to do so as he did to make political parties. he did point out that police and army can vote under the constitution and any law forbidding them of doing it is illegal. he must have not known that the people abroad didnt had a say in the running of government for the past 30 years. the oppsition party and the news paper is very good in putting pressure when it comes to the rights of criminals and political people but when it comes to citizens abroad and their rughts they aren't that effective. the country have failed to give the citizens of this country living abroad their voting rights.they go on the street , plan hunger strike threaten the government when someone they support is in custody but in this case nobody wants to do anything. perhaps if there was a member in parliment representing the citizens abroad it would have been a different picture. maybe he might have spoken about it in majlis maybe then when the law of the elections was written he would have made it clear that they are included in it. just maybe

Are we at war or are we campaigning?

are we campaigning or is DRP and MDP at war?. we are seeing daily that campaingn posters of both posters are being ripped off or burned. and now there are reports that people are getting threats of harm. it seems instead of giving the people information about the system of government all sides are concerned more with giving damage to the other side. its more like a civil war situation. i wonder if the voting will be peaceful. these acts may affect the turnout of the voting. wish both the sides get more civilised and try to give real information about the system of government so that the people can decide.there are even reports that some people are being threatened to vote for a certain system or face loosing their job. with all these things happening we dont see the elections commision getting involved or any other office getting involved to stop these actions. what to do....

Shaheedhunge dhuvas or martyrs day

use the right to vote

most of the time we see people criticising the voting results without actively participating in it. we always say its going to be the same. but how could it be. things do change. but its not going to change if we sit at our home and loose the opportunity to make a change. the referendum is going to be taken in 8 days now and we should use our voting right to say what system we want. its going to be a close race this time and even a one vote difference is going to make a lot of difference.if we dont go to vote then we also loose the right to criticise the outcome of it. if you dont participate in it why do you talk about the result?. hope that a lot of people would vote and a lot of pepole would see how the voting is done in all the places. not only in male' the capital. dont let the way of the katheeb be the way people vote. the day of kuda kaafu or bodu kaafu is over dont let that happen. vote for what you think is good for the future of the country. hope the young would actively try to get as much people as they can get to vote on this referendum and make it a decision of every one eligable to vote.

Havent Thought About it !!!!!!?

tonight at 8 pm news of TVM they said the Human Rights Commision are trying to establish a way tomake the people outside the country vote in the referendum. they said the Elections Commision they havent thought about it. what a beautiful answer. i wonder have they though that the voting registry may include people who are dead and did anything to eliminate those before publishing the voting list?. this have been the way we have been voting for the past years. how credible is the result of the vote. did they check the voting result to check if any dead person have voted?. they havent upto now updated the voting list so that someone who died in 1980s' would not be there. they have within the past never though of the people who are outside the country as eligable to vote?. or is it ounce you leave the country you are no longer considered as citizens?. we have been voting for the past 30 years and the elections commision is performing as if they were just established. there are talks that the police and the army can vote in the elections but nobody is concerned about the peolle outside. and even though it was a tradition that the police and army dosent vote can anyone prove they havent voted in the future after all the registry wont state if he is a policemam or an army person. maybe they have voted befor and maybe thats why we get 80% and over in all votes .. yeah maybe

Unbeleivable voting list

there have been rumours around the country that there are dead people on the voting list. at first i didnt beleive it until i experienced it first hand. ichecked my house and my grandmothers house abd i was really shocked at what i saw.i couldnt stop laugfing at what i saw. my mom who had passed away in 1991 is being listed as eligable to vote and i think my grandmothers name is also there who passed away in 1989. they dont have an updated list of the people in the country they dont know who is dead and alive. what can we trust now? no wonder the justice ministry is looking for people who have been sentenced without them being there. probably most of them have passed away decades ago. i am begining to question is 300000 of the people counted with this list?. you never know

Has the reform Agenda Failed?

We are hearing allegation and counter allegaation after the resignation of key ministers. The most talked about about the reform agenda. Has it failed or not?. and there are now questions of whoose reform agenda it is. earlier what everyone thought was that it was an agenda set by the president to bring reform to the country. but in the environment day celebration speech the president had stated its an agenda of the people and if anybody accuses the agenda has failed then they are really saying is that the peole has failed. Is this really how it is?. Is there anything the people can do to spped up the reform agenda?. ..

Government in crisis?

today the shocking news of the two people incharge of law and order namely justice minister and the attorney general resigns criticising the president heavily. this will damage the already bad image of the government further. the latest news was that the armed forces has entered the office of these two ministers and have closed down the places. it had never gone to a level as this after a resignation of ministers. the question now is how will the government get the confidence of the people now or will they ever get the confidence or are we going step by step to a military crisis?. with the referendum in the 18th this cast shadows of whether it will be held or what tomorrow holds up. the nation has entered into a dark crisis time for sure it probably is going to be a rough ride ahead keep up tp date of the issues from these sites http://www.haveeru.com.mv/,http://www.miadhu.com.mv/div/index.php,

how will people outside the country vote?

The referendum day is coming closer and closer and i havent heard any news about how the people outside the country can vote . there are a lot of citizens in other countries and they should be able to vote. there are embassies in most countries.they said that police and the army can vote so should the people outside the country also should be able to vote there should be a way they can participate afterall they are citizens of this country and this referendum is going to decide our future. the future should be decided with their say in it. hope the elections do consider a way to let them vote and make it public so everybody knows how they can vote

29 member removal issue in tonights sitting

the famous 29 member issue is again to be discussed in tonights sitting of the majlis. will the sitting be filled with accusation and counter accusation between members . i wonder when will this stops and is the majlis going to spend all the time discussing the 29 member issue over and over again and will the 29 members be removed with the 29 members given the right to vote for or against it?. after seeing the retake of the forged vote is their enough support for this issue within the majlis to get it passed. the government holds on to the 29 members cause thats the support they get to have their way around the majlis. when will this acting of the majlis members stop and when will they get serious about doing something for the people. the electricity bill for each sitting plus the salary and other benefits given to them is making the country go dry. it dosent help the country if this goes on and on without any concrete discussion. and most of the time the majlis members will say according to what i think. how could they say that they are not there to say what they think they are there to talk on behalf of the people that selected them. well hope this drama of the majlis with MDP and DRP fighting for the role of hero ends and hoe they think of the country before they think of their personnel grievances

What system is the current Government following?
