VOTING
Now we’re getting close to the big day. The local candidates and the Party Leaders have put forward their MANIFESTOS, the debates are finished. The people are ready to vote. Every resident in India is entitled to vote, but in order to do so you need to be on the ‘Electoral Register’.
The day arrives schools & colleges turned into POLLINGSTATIONS. This is where you go to CAST YOUR VOTE! Polling stations will all close at the same agreed time. Earlier the votes were counted in a short duration. Now we have to wait for long. In the UK, for example, after voting is completed, by dawn the next day all votes are counted, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland wakes up to begin another 5 years of a democratically elected Government, here’s hoping it was the Party you wanted!
This is an ENORMOUS responsibility. Sadly, it doesn’t always work as we would hope.

This is an ENORMOUS responsibility. Sadly, it doesn’t always work as we would hope. Ongoing work within Parliament is trying to ensure that a position in government is not abused, but it is a difficult one.
The people who live in these CONSTITUENCIES are called CONSTITUENTS and a person wanting to be voted for to represent them in Parliament are called CANDIDATES. You vote for a local CANDIDATE (person). This is hard, so here is a phrase to help. The CANDIDATE hopes to work for the CONSTITUENTS (person) in their CONSTITUENCY! And it’s all mentioned in our constitution.

MPs are PUBLIC SERVANTS! Elected Members of Parliament are paid to serve the public. When there are scandals in the news involving MPs, the people in the area they represent (the constituents) feel let down and betrayed. We vote for them, they are given a salary from public taxes and we expect them to behave in a certain way, the right and truthful way.

INDIA is divided into small regions. During an election, however,they are called CONSTITUENCIES. This is the area represented by one person (voted for in the election) in Parliament. In other words, this elected person should do everything they can to take the problems and queries of the people in the constituency to Parliament to be discussed and hopefully changed. A voted Member of Parliament REPRESENTS the people in their constituency. Now, this is the really important part! Which is your constituency? Who’s the current member of Parliament?

Day 19: 30 Days #EnglishWithElection (07.04.2024) You will learn multiple words here👇🏽👇🏽
The word LAUNCH is interesting, it is usually used to describe the first time a ship enters the sea, but is also used when a big project or campaign is started. You wouldn’t launch a meeting but you might launch an anti-smoking campaign. The anti-smoking campaign is bigger and more significant. You LAUNCH something big.
Meanwhile, a CAMPAIGN is the work you put in trying to persuade people to think like you or trust your views. Campaigns happen outside politics too, perhaps the most famous one in Britain was the ‘Anti-Hunting Campaign’. You have teams of people employed here, Campaign Leaders, Campaign Organisers, Campaign Strategists. Every Trust, Society, religious organisation have people to campaign! The best strategy wins.

A common exercise in schools is to debate and then write their own Manifestos, trying to think what obstacles might arise or who might try to stop you. It’s an interesting exercise and surprisingly hard! OK, the Parties are now ready to LAUNCH their campaigns, time is ticking on. This is usually a good moment to go away on holiday! Television, radio, Current Affairs and News Programs are flooded with election news. Election fever! Fortunately, in Britain, this process doesn’t go on for too long.

The MANIFESTO is a controversial subject in Britain. Any Party can write anything in their Manifestos. They could promise or ‘pledge’ to eradicate dog litter from the streets, or promise to pay all poor families more money. However, they don’t have to say HOW they would do this. It is up to the general public to assess whether they think that Party will stick to their Manifesto or not, very tricky!

For this brief time, now, Britain has no government. An alarming thought, although in the case of a national emergency, Parliament would BE RECALLED. A General Election is held once every 5 years to let the people choose who they want to govern them.
A date is set and the campaigning begins. Each PARTY sets out its ‘MANIFESTO’, which is effectively a list of things they promise to do if they are voted for and GET INTO POWER. The job of ‘campaigning’ is to try to persuade people to vote for you or your Party. So far so good!

Day 15: 30 Days #EnglishWithElection (03.04.2024) IDIOMS & PHRASES
In the UK The Queen gets the ball rolling when she DISSOLVES the current parliament (she doesn’t stop it, cease it, remove it or cancel it, she dissolves it!) and the Prime Minister CALLS a General Election, (he doesn’t start it, begin it, initiate it or create it, he CALLS an election).
All are very specific terminology and phrasing. However, just to make things complicated, the country HOLDS an election! The word HOLD is also used for organising a big event, similar to ‘hosting‘. You might ‘HOLD a party in her honour’, or ‘HOLD a service in his memory’.
