Regarding the most candidates in the history of elections, there will be the most intense election this year. According to the expert’s explanation, the advantages of DAB seemed obviously decreased this year, maybe, it is related to the challenge from the rising parties, such as the Civic Party and the League of Social Democrats. Election Day is approaching, the struggle between political parties is increasingly fierce. When the most grass-roots political elections become a tool for political parties to struggle for power, who on earth will consider the welfare of the ordinary people?
