Alright guys,back blogging after a few days rest.Its my first post in the month of March,a lot of election happening around this month,in particular Malaysia and Russia and speaking of Russia,they have just elected Dmitry Medvedev as the man to be President Putin's successor,nothing surprising after Mr Putin made it known that he was backing Medvedev to be the new President.
With 100 percent of precincts reporting,and 99.7 percent of the vote counted,Medvedev held 70.2 percent of the vote,the Central Election Commission reported,which is enough to see him becoming the next Russian president.Putin has requested that Medvedev to take over presidential State Council meetings,as well as floating the idea that they work on reorganizing the cabinet.As for the other nominees,Gennady Zyuganov,leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation,was second with nearly 18 percent and Vladimir Zhirinovsky,leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia,was third with 9.3 percent.Andrei Bogdanov,of the Democratic Party,was in fourth with 1.3 percent. And of course when every decision goes in favour of the Kremlin,the opposition will always cry for foul play or something,but I wont listen to them.So you may wonder what will happen to Mr Putin next? Well according to Medvedev,he will make Mr Putin the Prime Minister.Medvedev also said that said he would follow the foreign policy priorities set during the eight years of Putin's rule,"the essence of which is the protection of Russian interests around the whole perimeter" which I believe is a good thing to do because Russia has been doing well under Putin and I dont think there is any need to make any major changes around.
The Russian people have spoken and they have decided who is the best to manage the country.They should not listen to what the opposition have to say.They are complaining about the result because simply,they didnt win.Even if the votes are counted again,Im sure Medvedev will still be the clear winner.Once I heard that Mr Putin will support Medvedev to be his successor,I knew at that moment that he will be the next president because I know Mr Putin is a great man,very popular with the Russian people and have a very good judgement and it is because this believe from the Russian people that they had decided to go with Medvedev.Mr Putin has done a great job since taking over,it is sad to see him leaving,but at least he will become the prime minister.Many say Medvedev will just be a puppet of Mr Putin but I disagree with that and I dont think Mr Putin will want to see that happening.Yes they can work together but not with Mr Putin telling Medvedev everything he has to do.But I think Medvedev should do a good job.The Russians have a very high hope on him.He will have a tough task after taking over in particular the Kosovo independence saga and the disagree with the United States over the missile plan.Only time will tell whether he is the right man as we bid farewell to our beloved President Putin.
