On April 17th, a new Indonesian president will be elected. It’s only the 8th president, so the democracy is fairly new. There are posters everywhere saying: vote for this guy! In Indonesia, there are over 265 million people, in a whole ton of islands, with many ethnic backgrounds. So, there are a lot of different people voting.
The country is developing, the people are happy (at least a lot of them are), and the government is running well. They have also improved the East a lot. The East used to be like Tanzania and now it’s much better.
About 85% of Indonesia is Islamic. If you look at many other Islamic countries, they don’t have a democracy. Syria is in civil war; Morocco, UAE, Brunei, Saudi Arabia and many others are ruled by monarchs; Iran is ruled by a Theocracy; and Egypt and Pakistan are under military rule. As you can see, there are a lot of Islamic countries that have not yet made a democracy work.
I hope that this election will bring happiness to the people.

Even so called democratic governments have their good and bad points Different governments that especially border each other find it hard to get along.
