Good news: successful, safe elections in Kuwait
It is a pleasure to report that Kuwait had a well-attended, non-violent series of Parliamentary elections that wrapped up on Saturday. It is rare that we get to report good news and therefore I'm linking to their "pat on the back" from Kuwait state media. Congratulations, Kuwait! Well done.
Today, Saturday May 16, 2009, constitutes a new bright point in the history of democracy of the State of Kuwait, which began before the establishment of the modern country and was then crowned with the issuance of Kuwait's constitution in 1962.

With the closing of doors of polling stations for the 13th legislative term of the National Assembly, a distinguished stage of this democratic festival which began almost a month ago.

The distinguished organization of this democratic event has been highly praised by all thanks to justices, counselors and media personnel who were present today for the best interest of Kuwait.

Everyone was satisfied today, especially the judiciary who ran the electoral process or security bodies who supervised organization of the elections as today did not witness any obstacle.

And with the closure of the polling stations, candidates and their voters headed back to their electoral headquarters for a temporary rest from a hectic day, to be followed by another strenuous stage while waiting for results which may come out the next morning.

Today was also distinguished when HH the Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah was greeted by hundreds of voters while touring some polling stations early this morning.

Kuwait will anxiously witness hard moments till vote counting ends and results are announced by the judges.

#1 It's not 'good' news for the Donks, who despise the spread of real democracy. Particularly ones that wouldn't be around if it wasn't for Trunks.
