This should be a lesson to the US on how to campaign and elect politicians. There is no such thing as 'proper conduct' in this country. I loathe politics here. Haha, you're right, when I move a foreign country it won't matter to me because I won't know the history or care about the background of the sitting politicians at that point. Good read. (I liked that celebration that didn't include alcohol, what a concept!)

That's my stance in a new country, I'll stay out the politics, not my battle lol. No alcohol sales on the day of the election. The government wants to avoid a much problems as possible.
