Maybe some. But most probably just took what they could get and voted for the candidate they found most convincing. To be fair to Enhtuvshin, the MPRP candidate, he is from the area, and I also heard from other relatives of Uudraa (MPRP supporters, though) that Otgonsaihan had made a rather weak appearance on the one election speech they saw. He seems to have said very little, with Elbegdorj and some other boss taking all the show.<BR/><BR/>I seem to remember that 10,000 for children was already promised by the democrats in 2004. After the election it became only 3,000 (and 500,000 for each newlywed couple). I do not think it is unreasonable to support families with kids, this is done in many other countries as well, including mine. Just giving out presents from the state budget does not look like responsible politics, though.yanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00162659845565457190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19205362.post-56553583954377162852008-06-13T10:29:00.000+02:002008-06-13T10:29:00.000+02:00Vote buying, eh. I read that the Democrats are promising Tg 1million to all adults in the country if they are elected. The MPRP upped the ante by promising Tg 1.5million. And 10 thousand for children.Bilguunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12968228132970133410noreply@blogger.com
