Ukraine's president was elected by starring in a TV show, so why would a country elect an actor to be president?

Comedian Zelensky elected president with high vote share

Zelensky, 41, has been successfully elected as the new Ukrainian president with a high 73 percent of the vote, edging out rival Petro Poroshenko. Not only did he get a record number of votes, but he also logically became one of the youngest presidents in the history of the Ukrainian state. Who would have thought that the president of Ukraine would be a comedian with no experience in politics, and that he would be convinced by the general public of Ukraine that this comedian could make a good president, simply by his role as president in the popular TV series "The People's Servant". It is really laughable. Simply acting like a president can really go for the presidency, using the future of a country as a bargaining chip, Ukraine or really dare to gamble.

Can be elected president just because Zelensky acted well

In a press interview, the president in the play made an impassioned statement that left the Ukrainian audience in deep contemplation. It was mentioned that "the problem of how Ukrainians are losing their conscience step by step lies with each and every one of them." The Ukrainian audience who heard this narrative began to silently reflect on themselves. You can see how powerful words are. Perhaps, at that time, Ukraine was in the midst of internal and external difficulties and became the poorest country in Europe. The Ukrainian population also y realized that the country's rise and fall is the responsibility of the people. In this way, Zelensky, who played the president in the TV series, successfully won the hearts and minds of the people and became the new president.

Treating the fate of the nation as a comedy

During the election, a joke circulated: "For years, we voted for serious candidates and got a farce. So why not vote for a comedian and see what happens?" It is clear that the end result is more serious than a farce, and finally has turned into a war, no matter how to take the fate of their own country to joke, is not desirable, politics is not a comedy, not by virtue of two or three witty jokes can be perfunctory, in the destiny of the country, it should be taken more seriously.

Today's Zelensky is still a good talker, and is good at using the power of words to unite the Ukrainian people. However, politics is not a grandiose "show", do not be too naive and childish, the need is a real skill, a real wrist.
