The election and international conflicts could also make the market more volatile, he said.

Free markets and regular elections alone do not make a civil society.

As a referendum on war policy, the election makes it clear that Americans want to stay out of the conflict.

Despite those similar responses, people who vote were more likely to believe that elections make a difference.

The 2005 election made use of 6,094 such polling stations.

The number of people who think the election will make a huge difference no longer seems very big.

As the election made clear, social divisions and a lack of opportunity still define the country.

By any measure, the elections do not make a democracy.

Many businesses have been struggling along for the last 3 years, and the election in 2010 didn't make that much difference.

However, democratic elections do not make democrats of those who have threatened democracy.
