Video Description:
PLEASE VOTE FOR ME is an award-winning documentary about an interesting social experiment with democracy in China.
In an elementary school in the city of Wuhan in central China, three eight-year-old students campaign for the coveted position of class monitor. This is the first election for a class leader to be held in China. The three candidates hold debates, campaign tirelessly and show their intellectual and
artistic skills, until one is voted the winner. Their parents, devoted to their only child, take part and start to influence the results.

"This is the first election for a class leader to be held in China." This is a bullshit LIE! I remember I had election for a class leader 15 years ago when I was in Wuhan, China. I realised why BBC likes twisting the truth...it is because they are people with a very limited outlook. Their small world is only in England, arrogance is all they have.

这种'民主'教会了小菲和程成什么？！ 也许将来程成为了赢得某种利益会使用当初罗雷式的方法去争取。。。 学会做人。。。难道是在这样的方法中学会么？！ 小学的时候，班里选举三好学生就是用这样的方式，还记得同班富
裕的同学如何及尽其'财'去拉选票。。。从那开始我就从来不相信什么选举。。。 政治，世界上最肮脏的东西。。。

只是选个班长而已，三个人就拉了一正周，要是玩真的，班里的每个同学都可以参选，那选个班长不得拖到猴年马月了。事实，世界多数民主政体的候选人也是一步一步的爬梯子，小官升大官。

參選是應該自由的，有資格的就可以參選，不應該先由老師欽點三個出來。怕太多人的話就協商參選資格，提高門檻，例如要有五個同學提名才可參選。

Yes... gifts always win the hearts of people to vote for them, no? Parents are so conniving, especially that boy's who was the class monitor for 2 years or something like that. This is how children's pure and innocent minds are corrupted by power and greed, not to mention being spoiled by birth.

This documentary is really interesting and entertaining, but it doesn't tell us anything about whether democracy is a good thing or not, or whether China should have democracy or not - it just tells us that there is a reason why there is a minimum age for voting and that kids should not be given the authority to boss other kids around!

他们程序有点过于复杂，实际班干选举程序都很简单，一个下午就搞好了，完全不需要演讲或者表演，每个人直接根据平时印象来投票就行了，直接海选，不需要预选。

This is not a demonstration showing that children should not be allowed to vote. What this is demonstrating, is that the tactics these children used mirror those which adult politicians use...

i think the lesson to take away from all of this is that we should practice speeches in our underwear.
