Mr Lee Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 The big question in my mind is, what will a failure of election result in? Will it end up martial law? Will there be rioting in the streets of some cities? What will happen if the current president remains in power? MANILA, Philippines—A multinational firm doing intelligence work for a host of embassies and some of the world's top corporations has said signs that the Philippines' first automated balloting on May 10 would fail are getting clearer as the elections draw closer. In a paper entitled "Assessing 2010 Elections Automation in the Philippines," Pacific Strategies and Assessments (PSA) said it had found 14 danger signs that the elections were bound to run into a wall of problems, or worse, completely fail. The scariest scenario "The myriad questions … and President Arroyo's failure to intercede and address the many election questions and concerns ... suggest to many that Arroyo wants imperfect, if not failed, elections to ensure her allies are perpetuated in power," it said. "The scariest scenario remains that the non-proclamation of a president, vice president and 12 senators to constitute a quorum of 24 will prevent the chain of succession in accordance with the 1987 Constitution," it added. "Recent public opinion polls suggest a majority of Filipinos believe another People Power revolt could follow any major elections failure despite widely acknowledged People Power fatigue among the general public," it said.

CLICK HEREThe "silent majority" is beginning to be heard. Countries with poor political answerability ARE being "reined in".
