Not meant to talk about politic, just want to find out if Indonesian election is on the news in members respective countries?
We have it today, and the whole country is so excited for this election. The enthusiasm to vote is the highest record ever in the history.

Only thing of real importance on UK news this morning is the defeat of the Brazilian football team. No mention of your part of the world, other than yesterday with the storms in southern Japan.

Joko Widodo enjoys rock star status with many Indonesians, but his critics say he is a political rookie, and does not know how to run a country.
Taken from the BBC site.
This man should do well if he wins, the UK with its career politicians who just toe the party line are not good for a country.
We have a local council election Thursday, I will not be voting don't like any of them. And if it was compulsory I would have to vote for them all.
