2015 UK General Election

[Tiberius]

They do? NK, you never cease to amaze me...

Elections in North Korea are hilarious. There are three main parties (Workers' Party of Korea, Korean Social Democratic Party, and Cheondoist Chongu Party). Independent candidates are also allowed. All three parties have elected members of government, and there are (as of 2014) 8 elected independent members of government. Sounds fair and democratic right?

Well, in actuality, all of those parties are members of an alliance called "Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland", and all candidates (including independent candidates) have to be members of the alliance as well. On top of that, all candidates have to be approved by the alliance before they can run for election. So when you look at the overall picture, all candidates for election, and therefore all actual elected politicians belong to a single party.

Also, according to North Korea, in the 2014 election there was a 99.97% voter turnout.
