Election Prediction

I predict, after the 12th general election results are announced, there will be people complaining that the election is rigged, not transparent, not fair, biased, etc. Most likely, the complains come from candidates who lost, or people who supported them.

This prediction is made based on similar patterns of behaviour in many different elections through out the world.

Psychologically speaking, the loosers are attributing their failure to an external, stable, and global factor; an attribution style that does not bruises one's ego.

that last paragraph read out like something you'd read from a textbook....not that it's a bad thing.Rather,I find it quite enlightening ;) (regardless is if it was intended to sound that way)

textbook eh? Indeed. That's why the paragraph starts with "Psychologically speaking"...
