Ok, this is something I have to chuckle about, about 10 minutes ago the election for the President of AIU student government took place. Having lived in the states, I have seen many elections, ranging from president of a junior high school student government to president of the United States. Not all of these elections were perfect, some were uncontested, this however....well, by American standards I have difficulty calling that an "election" at all.
The way it worked is, the outgoing president of student government picked one candidate, and the job of all the students was to give them either a vote of "confidence" or "no-confidence". I really have no idea how many 'confidence' votes this person needs, and what would happen if they wouldn't get enough, either way, we had a couple of speeches from both the outgoing president the candidate. Most people just put the confidence mark before even hearing the speeches. So I guess...democracy in action?
I don't meant to insult anyone...but this is a system I have difficult agreeing with.
