So we're using the U.S. as a benchmark now, as if the U.S. is the most clean. - Hey, hey, hey, wait, we're-- I'm a American song, you know. - When the United Kingdom has one of the highest-- - I know. - And freedom and fairness is-- - You're under. - You're under. - Under. - Under. - Zero. - Zero. - Zero. - You're under. - You can't get no lower than that. - So Chad, search yourself out. - Yes, yes, yes, please. - Because you couldn't pronounce it, so you're thinking it's Africa. - Yeah. - So that's what we should get rid of, that's true. - That's them, I guess, okay, hey, correct me. Thank you for the, thank you for the kind of bittersweet. (upbeat music) - Let's chill. - What up, Chocolate Chillers? Yes, it's your boy, Coach L. J. And I'm with my best friend, my business partner, my awesomeness, the one and only lady sees it. She is in the building. Yes. (horn honking) Yes, you know we're about to survive each and every week. You know what I'm saying? You know what you gotta say we're like the jump right in. We're welcome to Sunday Fun Day, where we all about learning, being informative, and having fun. So what we're on this Sunday Fun Day sweetheart? I know we're coming back with part two. - Part two. - Part two. - Another one. (laughing) - Of countries that are going for elections in 2024. Like we said, 2024 is the mega year for elections. Almost half of the world's population, which is 49% to be exact, is going to the polls. And if you have not seen our last video, part one, you better check it out, all right. So part two, we're gonna do the remain of the countries 'cause you know there was like 64 countries, and so we had a break and done, okay. And while, so we tell you what the population is of the country, what kind of election they're having, when is the election, as well as the fairness and freedom score of the election. And boy, oh boy, we figured out some countries have really bad scores and some non-existent. - Yeah, it was so bad we had to stop it. - Yeah, we had to stop when it was getting to zero, like, hold on, we can't take this anymore. So this week, we're gonna continue that and see who's having a free and fair election and who's not. I think that's the most important part of this video. - Yes, the fair, free and fair. - To realize that going to the polls for many countries is not even, they just do it for the sake of doing it. - Yeah. - But the truth of the matter is, they don't even need to go to the polls 'cause most of these people, dictators, they're gonna win the election anyway. - Yeah, yeah, it just seemed on the news too about Putin. - Yeah. - Yeah, he was sworn in. - Yeah, of course he... - But it was like, it's like kind of red. They all really knew who was gonna win. - Yeah, he already told them that I'm the next, I'm gonna take the fifth term and that was a done deal. - Yeah, he's definitely in there for another six years. - Maybe even more, yeah, I think Putin is gonna be there till he dies. - Yeah, probably well. - He's that kind of guy. - Yeah, probably well. 'Cause I think somebody also passed away, a guy killed, that put me in the runner. - Most, I wouldn't be surprised. I really wouldn't be surprised. - I think that's why I'm seeing on written in the news or whatever. - I thought it was a country that I've never heard of, but apparently it's in Central Asia and it's called Augse-Bikistan, Augse-Bikistan, Augse-Bikistan. - Yeah, it sounded like an African name. - It's in Asia, Augse-Bikistan. - I'm just saying, I'm just saying, that name is so hot. - Oh, my gosh, Africans have hot names. - It could be like Nigeria, or Uhh, Uhh, Uhh, Uhh, Uhh, Uhh, Linda, Linda. - Augse-Bikistan. So it has a population of 35.4 million people. The election is gonna be a legislative chamber and the date is expected to be in October or due by December. The Freedom and Fairness score is 0.33. You can already know that. That's a law score. - So Augse-Bikistan, the people, they're probably going through it as well. - Yes. - And our next-- - Maui, I mean, this country is Maui, they have a population of 23.6 million people. - Okay. - And they run it for presidency and the schedule is for February, which it was passed, but it was postponed indefinitely for technical reasons. - Oh, see, I'm going to make a two question, what are these technical reasons? - I'm gonna look at the Freedom and Fairness score. - Uh-huh, which is? - Zero point zero zero. - So we started out bad already. - How about the technical reasons? - Yeah. - Oh, the technical reasons. The zero point zero zero. - How do you add up technical reasons when it comes to an election? (laughing) - Whatever, Maui. - January. - January, June, in Maui, on Monday said presidential elections scheduled for February 2024 to return to civilian power will be postponed. The two rounds set for February 4 and 18, 2024 will be slightly postponed. - Slightly. - For technical reasons. - Slightly. - Including financial difficulties, where did the money go, Maui? (laughing) Where did the money go? - Where did the money go? - For a review of voter lists, government spokesperson, Colonel Maga said in a statement, the new date will be announced later, he added. - It ain't gonna be no date, you know what I mean? - I think the reason is because this West African nation under went to two military groups, between 2020 and 2021. And for a country which has been through military coupes, you already know that a third one is potential. So they have to get their guns. - Their guns? - Guns, yeah, like technically guns. But they have to get their ducks in a row. - Okay. (laughing) - So, Maui's military seized power in August 2020, and nine months later in May 2021, the military again arrested the interim civilian, president and prime minister. So these militaries, I don't know, I don't know. So that's the story with Maui. Maui is going through it. - Yeah. - But the several points that were like, yeah, the freedom of fairness go like. - Don't even have an election. - Yeah, don't even have an election. - But even if they do have an election, there might be a coup. - Yeah, gonna be a coup. And the person who you voted for, most likely not gonna win. Because they- - They're gonna arrest him. - Sri Lanka, with a population of 21.9 million, election presidency parliament, and the date is to be confirmed or to be determined, because the freedom and fairness go is 0.76. - Which is not bad. - Not bad. So I wonder why they haven't confirmed the date. Maybe they're still working on it, but the election is definitely gonna be. - Yeah, it's not bad though. Not bad. - 76th inspection point. - Yeah, probably pretty good. It's close to South Africa, the American, United Kingdom. So yeah, it's pretty good. Pretty good, not bad. And that's what is Romania. And their population is 19.7 million, and the election is producing Senate Chamber of Deputies. The date is expected in November and December. And the freedom and fairness score is not bad. - Yeah. - 86th. - Not bad at all. - Not bad. High than the US. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yes, right. - The US is, are they point 84? - High than the US. - Not bad, Romania. - Not bad. - I'm using the US as a benchmark now, as if the US is the most clear. - Hey, hey, hey. We're at, I'm America's song. - When the United Kingdom has one of the highest. - I know. - Let's move on to Chad. Chad's population is 18.6 million. The election is for presidency. The date is expected in October. Let's move on. And freedom and fairness is... (laughing) - You already know. - Anda. (laughing) - Anda. - Conda. - Zero. - Zero. - Zero. - Conda. (laughing) - You can't get no lower than that. (laughing) - So Chad, sort yourself out. - Yes, yes, yes. Please. The next one is Senegal. And the population is 18 million, and they also run it for presidency. - These are big elections. - Yes. Big elections, presidency. And the date is February 25th. - It was February 25th. - It was February 25th, which is passed. So you should know who is the president already. Anda, freedom and fairness score is not as bad. Point 75. So it's around South Africa. So I'm using South Africa as well as America as the benchmark. - Okay. (laughing) But I think as long as it's above five. You know, point five. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - At least five, you know it's 50%. - If it is 50%, yeah, yeah. - So when it's point 75, that's 75% fair. - Fair. - Fair. - It's Cambodia. And the population is 17.17 million. The election is for the Senate. And the date is already passed just February 25th. Freedom and fairness score is 0.14. - 0.14. - So we already know the president for Cambodia. - Yes. And we already know. - And we already know that. It was probably somebody who wanted to be a president. - Yes. - Because 0.14 is bad. - Yes, yes, bad. - And it's Rwanda, Rwanda. And the population is 14.3 million. There are also elections for pregnancy, chamber, Deppolese, and it's July 15th. - Right. - The freedom of fairness score is 0.37. - Which is pretty long. - Pretty long. - We all agree that when it's below 0.5. - Yes, it's pretty long. It's up being a regular election. We already know if it's under file, it's a hot chance. It's very hot chance. - Check out Tunisia. Tunisia's population is 12.5 million. The election is for the presidency. The expected date will be in fall. So around about August. Freedom and fairness score is 0.02. They just threw the truth in this. - Yeah, so it led. We leave not civil. We leave civil. We better do, we're civil. Like I said, I think they just. - They just like, okay, you know what? At least we are nominates the president. I mean, they're the candidates. So two for nomination, two for efforts, okay? When it's zero, I don't even know. But the process is, I really don't know. - Yes, yes. - All right, next country. - That's one. - Bell, Bell, June, Bell, June have 11.7 million populations. The election is a chamber of representatives in a June 9th, which is next month, every by the time I'm just recording, June 9th. And a freedom and fairness score is close to 100. So it is real good. - Almost perfection. - Almost perfection. - I think right now, they take the cup. - Yeah, they take the cup, 0.97. - So it's clean, just, they're pretty honest people. - Yeah, pretty honest people, I guess. Yeah, it's close time. - And maybe they couldn't give them a. - Maybe it was just one person. - Or they couldn't give them a perfect score because there's no perfection. - No perfection, yes. - There's room for human error. - Yes, yes, and that's basically what it is with, when you see 0.97, 0.96, 5, 5, it's that room for human error, 'cause you know, anything happens. - Country is the Dominican Republic with a population of 11.4 million. Election is presidency, Senate chamber of deputies, and the election date is May 19, which means it's coming up. - And they are gearing up for the election. - Yes, yes. - You are, and we've been to the are, it's a beautiful place. - Yes, it's a beautiful place, yes. - Freedom and fairness score is also not so bad. - 0.63. - Mm-hmm, yes. - And the next one is Jordan in the middle east. - Yeah. - Middle east, and the population of 11.4 million, and the election is House of Representatives, and the date is expected in November, same as America, and the freedom and fairness score is close to half, 0.4 now, four middle east of country. - Right. - It's close to half. - But Jordan is pretty straight from what I hear, it's like one of those countries where you have to abide by the rules 'cause they chop people's arms. It's one of those countries, like if you caught stealing, you caught, it's like a Muslim really, almost 90% Muslim country. - Okay. - Yeah, but not bad to have. Just one, so we got to give, at least a chance. - But also which means that no matter how strict the country is, or realistically, it doesn't mean that there's no cooks. - Yes, no, yeah, yeah. - Because 50% is still not good. - Yes. - The next country is South Sudan. Population is 11.2, you already know this is Africa. Elections presidency, national legislature, yeah, I know. Expected date is in December for the election, and freedom and fairness score is too hard. - Civil, a donut. - We are frying eggs. - Donut, but we know that, we can expect that because they wasn't one of the worst countries in the past, but not, yes, yeah, so we can expect that. Yeah, donut. - She is. - The next one is Czech Republic. Thank you, because I was not gonna be-- - I know that you were gonna go from-- - I was not gonna get that name, so thank you. - I wonder what you were gonna say, what you were gonna say. - Zack, Zack, I don't know, but I wasn't gonna get that name. - Czech Republic. - Thank you, thank you for helping out with that one. - I can read my-- - Yes, thank you, I appreciate that one. I wasn't gonna, I was not gonna get that name. I don't know what, but it's a Czech Republic, but what is it? - Zack, I just told you it's Czech Republic. - Czech Republic. - 10.5 million on the election is Senate, and the date is to be determined, which I'm surprised, because they freedom of freedom of freedom of school, it's very hard, it's the problem now. - But remember, this survey was done late 2023. - Maybe, yeah, maybe. - So some countries did their-- - Probably late after, probably after, yeah. - They announced their dates, it made probably this year. - But the freedom of freedom of school is 0.95, so it's high, it's real good, so that means that's their human everything. So, you know, Czech Republic, where do you go? - Where do you go? And that is Azerbaijan, what I have, I'm not sure. - Yeah, I'm just that hard. - Azerbaijan, I've never heard of it, if you know about this country, please shout out. Population is 10.4 million, have quite a number of people. President, the election is for presidency, election date has passed, which is February 7th, freedom and fairness score is 0.08, just like because we don't know them.

The population is 10.2 million, the election is assembly of the republic, and the date also has passed, which is March 10th, and the freedom and fairness score is very good. I'd say it's 0.95, so, you know. - Well done, Portugal. - That human everything, yeah. - And I'm just seeing a trend here. You know, most of these. - Asia? - Western countries, like the European countries, their freedom and fairness score is pretty good. So I guess they're still some, I don't know. Or maybe these credible sources are not so credible. - Maybe. - They're favoring European countries. - Maybe. - 'Cause I feel like there's corruption everywhere. I don't know, I don't know. This democracy story, I don't know, I'm a skeptic. The next country is Belarus, and the population is 9.5 million, election chamber of representatives. Date was February 25, freedom and fairness score is 0.14. - Okay, the next one is Tocco, Tocco, Tocco, the population now 0.2 million, the election national assembling.

We want to say, you must be happy that you are in a country, if you are in a country, that has a freedom and fairness score, even if it's 0.01, because there are countries that have non-applicable data-- - Yeah, I don't gonna get any worse. - I thought it was negative, no. There's no negative, it's not applicable, okay? Does not even exist. Why is that, what is freedom and fairness score?
