Here Are Five Reasons
Why the Malaysian Elections Matters...

Malaysia has held regular elections since its independence in 1957 and it has been ruled by the same political coalition ever since – until this month’s 14th General Elections, where the opposition dramatically and unexpectedly defeated the Barisan Nasional coalition. The new ruling coalition, Pakatan Harapan, won 122 out of 222 seats in the Parliament. Dr. Mahathir Mohamad’s coming back out of retirement and becoming the world’s oldest prime minister at the age of 92 is truly a story for the ages. The elections make case for turning our gaze to the Southeast Asian region, where democracy has been in the retreat for at least a decade. Good news for democracy lovers has been in short supply in 2017, the year in which democracy faced some of the most serious challenges in decades, according to Freedom House...

US General Elections...

The 2020 presidential and congressional elections are the most expensive in history.

According to FEC records collected by Opensecrets.org, a total of almost 11 billion U.S dollars in spending for the election cycle had been filed as of October 25. A large chunk of this spending can be chalked up to the large (and wealthy) field in the Democratic primary, which included deep-pocketed billionaires Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer. The primary field (not counting the Biden campaign) spent more than $2 billion this election cycle. More expenditures came from the parties and outside groups. As seen in our graphic, the party of the incumbent president traditionally spends less for the respective election cycles because of less money spent in the primaries. During the 2016 cycle, spending hit 7.2 billion (adjusted for inflation). Expenditures are expected to increase sharply before election day and a filing backlog means that the books will be closed only on Dec 31. Disregarding primary spending, Democrats are still ahead this season, having spent almost $5 billion compared to the Republicans' $4 billion...

Poll: Americans say money has too much influence in campaigns...

As the 2016 presidential race begins, 84 percent of Americans think money has too much influence in political campaigns now. Criticism of the role of money cuts across party lines - large majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and independents all think money has too much influence.
Most Americans see widespread problems with how election campaigns are funded in the United States. Forty-six percent think the system for funding political campaigns has so much wrong with it that it needs to be rebuilt completely, and another 39 percent think that while there are good things in the system, fundamental changes are needed. Just 13 percent of Americans think only minor changes are needed.
Americans across the political spectrum are critical of the way campaigns are financed, but independents are the most negative. Fifty-one percent of independents think the system must be completely rebuilt. And 46 percent of Democrats and 36 percent of Republicans agree...Read more
