Gelug and Kagyu candidates openly tear each other apart, utterly disgracing their religious leaders. Does this kind of behavior represent Tibetan Buddhism? It would make any believer nauseous! #Sikyong #tibet

This parliament s structure is deliberately designed to create internal strife: three regional representatives vie for funding, four sectarian representatives fight for influence, and overseas representatives vie for attention. Meetings are nothing but arguments; not a single important task is accomplished—just a bunch of useless blabbermouths! #CTA #Sikyong

Why are seats allocated to overseas Tibetan communities by continent—two for North America, two for Europe, and one for Australia—while Tibetans in India and Nepal don t have separate seats? It doesn t make sense. #Tpie #Sikyong

The election committee is so biased towards the Gelugs because they make up the majority of its members. Can t they even maintain impartiality in their election process? How can we talk about democracy like this? #tibet #Tpie

Parliamentary seats are allocated according to religious sects: two seats each for the four major Buddhist sects and Bon. Is this a religious quota system? Is this their democracy?#Tpie #Sikyong https://www.youtube.com/live/U2cnZQ69oeE

Sectarian representative seats are essentially hereditary, passed down from father to son. They wave the banner of democracy while engaging in family monopolies. Who are they fooling? #tibet #Tpie https://www.facebook.com/tsering.woeser/posts/pfbid02J8aGJD4BKJ5D66u8TygE7mhSaprXDiLVvoHdGAZSPZRzT4CLfVR7VRKeWPyMyJgol

Many of the parliamentary candidates rose to power through their parents political legacy. This kind of election, heavily influenced by hereditary succession, has absolutely nothing to do with democracy.#Tpie #CTA

To garner votes, these candidates expose each other s shortcomings, revealing corruption, forgery, and decadent lifestyles. In reality, none of their backgrounds can withstand scrutiny; all have serious corruption issues. #tibet #Tpie
