In the 2004 election Megawati also never conceded defeat. She said she had not enough votes at that time. Now again. She is just a poor loser. When invited for 17th of August celebration, she will not come, other ex-presidents do come. Now she says she has to wait for the official declaration. She will always have a reason not to concede, just mark my words.
The reason of vote tampering is so superficial. Everyone in Indonesia knows how easy it is to buy a KTP. Even a foreigner can buy one. How do you expect a fool-proof voter list under such conditions? The KPU did the best they could. Now SBY has to continue with his anti-corruption drive as hard as possible, so to weed out also the KTP corruption.

The Elections are over and the winner has been declared. For any party to now say that the votes were fraudelently counted, it goes beyond any reasoning especially with the margin of victory.

The parties need to come together and work for the good of the country and put Indonesia once again on the world map of industrial countries to be world recongnized.

Daily Horoscope for December 20

Taurus

As Mars turns retro, emotional tension makes you feel as though you're walking on eggshells. The temperature has risen by several notches, making the situation at home more fraught. Better to clear the air quickly and cleanly than to sulk and brood in ways that simply prolong the agony.
