    Baghdad today - Baghdad
    In every election, a clear argument emerges in popular circles and movements calling for change. This dialectic is the inability to reconcile the certainty that the current political blocs and parties do not have true acceptance, and the reality that is always renewed with the victory of these blocs and political parties in the end.
    The part of the people who participate in the elections is often blamed, which often does not exceed 40%, but the discussion here is divided between whether these participants are really the real fans of these parties, or are they all from the poor whose votes are bought in various ways, whether by enticement or smuggling?
    The matter of buying votes is not hidden from the popular, political and media circles, and from here, and with the approach of the provincial council elections next December, "Baghdad Today" interviewed some of the poor and people who are preoccupied with their daily bread, especially in Diyala Governorate as a microcosm, to learn more about the "philosophy of the poor." Towards the elections and the mechanism for selecting the people to be elected, especially since television screens and streets are crowded with the poor, whom you can only find and they express wrath and anger towards all politicians.
    Abboud Hassan, who works as a mobile salesman, said in an interview with "Baghdad Today": "We know that there are elections only when aid knocks on the doors of our homes, and we see faces, most of which are strange to us, and say, 'I ask and wish.'"
    He added, "The poor, because of want, do not look at the programs and promises as much as they fulfill modest requests, most notably an electricity transformer, paving, water, and others."
    As for Umm Ihsan - who lives in a random area on the outskirts of Baquba - she said: "We are afraid of inheriting politics because some candidates are influential and 100 armed men walk with them, while there are those who come to us in a taxi, and the difference between them is big."
    She added, "The circumstances of life push us to elect someone who meets our humble requests, because we believe that all future promises are not fulfilled, as the parties are the ones who rule and loot in the end."
    As for Alaa Khudair - while he was collecting consumables - he said that "the votes of the poor depend on the powerful, and whoever says otherwise is not telling the truth," pointing out that "he did not participate in the previous elections because he feels despair of change." He added  , "Whoever has the money and trustworthiness is the one who wins in Diyala."
    Ihsan Ali, an observer in election affairs, acknowledged that "the popular neighborhoods are an essential part of the competition of the influential forces, and in them the power of political money appears, which is pouring heavily in an attempt to buy votes in various ways."
    He added, "The exploitation of the state's resources is undisputed, and specific forces are the ones who extend dominance over government departments in the province."
    From here - and according to two observers - it appears that the philosophy of the poor towards the elections is the lack of confidence in distant promises or the possibility of implementing government programs, so they try to get immediate and quick things that can be achieved to partially improve their life conditions in a quick time, and they prefer them over the possibility of improving their life conditions. Totally, but over a long period of time and it may not be guaranteed, which means that the philosophy of the poor towards choosing the candidate can be summarized according to the mechanism of “a bird in the hand is better than ten in the tree.”
