FIFA Presidential Election

[mass09]

They are now voting live on CNN. I find it quite strange that there is only one candidate namely Sepp Blatter. What is the point in voting? Is this not somehow un-democratic?

Any thoughts?

About the same as an election in North Korea.

Looks like the north Korean ballot paper.
It's funny how in light of the bribery allegations (for the 3rd time), the next world cup host will be voted by all FIFA members not just the 24 man exec team.

Seems those 24 have made their cash.

I'm sure everyone knows this by now but I'll just repeat anyway. If you don't vote then you don't have the right to complain.

Even though there was only one candidate, he still had to get 105 votes to be president. So I guess if you abstain or spoil your vote if you don't want him then you can possibly have a new election?
