Emmanwel: In that parliament members were not kind of voted in.
These are some people or some group of people that individuals
that have just formed a government.
They could be friends or they could be people who had just made their way in,
they were not voted in like maybe having a member of parliament
who I did not vote for and even the President that is currently in the power
was not democratically elected.

Paul: When I was in my country several years ago I never exercised my rights
as a voter except when I was in Australia back in 2007
when I elected the government of my choice.
In 2007, I voted for the Federal Government, I also voted for the State Government,
I also voted for the Local Government in Blacktown.
So, there's a lot of difference, things that you could see
in voting here and back in Sudan.
Emmanwel: Voting in Sudan is just meant for few, few people,
they could just vote in governments or they could just make
anything that they wanted to do.
Whereas in Australia voting is inclusive and is mandatory,
it's a must, that everybody should vote here.
