Politics can be crazy. Even in old -fashioned democratic countries like Britain and the United States, occasionally serious violence cases against politicians occur.In 2011, the US Democratic Female MP, Jifu Ford, was attacked in public activities, and his head was almost killed. Before the Brexit referendum in Brexit in June 2016, Capok, a female member of the Parliament, was in contact with voters on the street.He was killed by a knife.When Brazilian President Bosonaro was campaign last year, he was injured by a knife.However, even if a serious political violence occurred, Britain did not choose a referendum after the United Kingdom, and Brazil did not give up the election.

Unless the violence activities of the organization of the attack on the officer's office are intensified, and there are systems that have systematically attacked some candidates and aid groups, which has caused fairness and fair election to be seriously affected, or even major occurrences.The scale bleeding incident and terrorist activities make the election cannot be held at all. Otherwise, the government and party factions should still do their best to ensure that the selection of this area can be held smoothly as scheduled.
The best way to punish politicians is to make good use of a vote on his hands without being able to resort to violence.A election can clearly reflect the direction of the people than any polls.All parties should cherish the opportunity in front of you and do not let political violence destroy this district parliamentary election.
