In a democracy, someone who fails to get elected to office can always console himself with the thought that there was something not quite fair about it.

Maintain democracy or go to dictatorship: that is what is at stake in these elections.

What is at stake is not the provincial council elections, but democracy.

Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.

Democracy is not a quick fix, and you need to have civil society in place for [elections] to work. Unfortunately, it didn't. It backfired.

I don't think it's accurate (that they are losing business permanently). The post office and the other companies can't manage the volume.
