On choosing a caleg

One of the great things about democracy is that citizens get the opportunity to vote for the legislators who will represent them in parliament.  But with so many political parties in Indonesia, there are a huge number of candidates (caleg) to choose from.  So how can a political party select a caleg who stands out from the crowd and who resonates with voters?  By selecting a celebrity as a caleg of course!  To some this may be seen as a rather desperate move but some voters (particularly men) may be more likely to vote for an attractive actress rather than some boring old man they have never heard of. Celebrity caleg in the coming election include Krisdayanti , Diana Sastra, Tamara Geraldine, Kalina Oktarani, Desy Ratnasari, Rachel Maryam, Annisa Bahar, Nafa Urbach, Mulan Jameela and Lula Kamal.  Quite simply, take your pick!

In fact, they probably can’t believe their good fortune. Every cloud has a silver lining. Because for them Corby must seem like some sort of angel magically spirited down from heaven. What they have wanted and dreamed about for so long is now tantalizingly close to hand. 

Lifer MichaĆ«l Blanc must especially fancy his chances: young and good-looking he’ll be hoping that Corby will fall for his irresistible French charms. One thing doesn’t bear thinking about though: how would Indonesia’s excruciatingly complex nationality laws cope if they had kids while still on the inside?

And if you still think she’s innocent read this.
