This answer is for Pavel,
who comments about how
Czechs choose their President.
Q: “I hate the system here in
the Czech Republic. Although I
am very pleased President Klaus
won, it made me wish us Czechs
could just vote for him directly.
Do you think we are stupid be-
cause we cannot?”
A: Hi Pavel, thanks for writing
and asking about this.
To be honest, NO ONE is “stu-
pid” here. Czechs now live in a
DEMOCRACY, so if Czechs are
“unhappy” that they cannot vote
directly for their own President,
then this means that enough
Czechs have NOT BOTHERED to
change their own political system.
You get what you elect, period!
If even 10% of you bothered to
sign petitions to change the sta-
tus quo here, you COULD!
Since YOU, the VOTERS, control
WHO ultimately gets elected to of-
fice, you CAN change your system
in a Democracy any time you wish!
Those who do NOT bother vot-
ing have no “right” to complain
about who wins in an election.
Democracy is like fitness or
any good marriage, you get out
of it what you put into it.
