Women vote in Kuwait parliamentary elections for first time
Alright, husbands in Kuwait are well on thier way to being bitched at everytime they stay out late.
" You told me you were going to Ahmed's to build a suicide belt but I called and Ahmed's fourth wife said you weren't there. WHERE WERE YOU MAHMOUD!!"
Kuwait's first parliamentary elections in which women could vote were a victory for political reformists but a disappointment for female candidates, none of whom won a seat, according to official results Friday.
In all seriousness, welcome to the twenty-first century Kuwait. You'll find it quite interesting.
Thirty-six of those who won seats in the 50-seat house were reformists, according to results of Thursday's vote published by the state-owned Kuwait News Agency. Twenty-one of them held seats in the previous parliament that the emir, Kuwait's ruler, dissolved last month.
Change is a good thing. Unless it's bad.
