Opinions on the 12th National Election
‘All that matters to AL is acquiring power.’
This election will push the whole country towards further uncertainty and close the door to constructive politics in Bangladesh.
A ‘dummy-cratic’ election in democratic Bangladesh?
After the election is over, the meaning of democracy will change to mean coercion.
‘Why would Awami League need to resort to rigging in this scenario?’
Awami League has no incentive to rig the election, and doubting this suggests a lack of rationality.
‘I see no reason to call this an election.’
We already know that only a small group of experts will observe the election and that most major countries will not send their observers.
