Thats because majority of these countries, like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Brunei they dont have democracy.
I would suggest you stop worrying about them, because people in those countries are much better off and happy, (mite not be the case with Saudi Arabia but neverthless)....so dont loose your sleep over it. Worry about the so-called Democratic Nations, there is much to worry and sort out in those countries.
what good does the vote do for people who are and do vote in their countries.. all u get is the liberal-conservative topi drama... when they're both the same.

Not worrying about them at all since you relieved my mind about this, however it is nice that you can speak for all those people who are not allowed a say/voice in who makes the laws in their countries. They may want to know that they are better off and happy, I have heard a few here say they aren't. They may be surprised at this, but what do they know, they are used to being spoken for.
"So-called democratic nations" at least know that when a quasi-dictator (ie, Bush) gets elected, in four years, he will be gone. In other countries without democracy, everything changes only by birth/death or gun.
I just wouldn't be happy having no voice in determining the laws that affect myself, my husband, my kids, my family, my neighbors, my work, my peace, my freedom ..... but I am glad you are complacent in having others rule you, this is what they need for it to work --- unseeing and unthinking loyalty.
My opinion, of course, one I am free to voice in my "so-called Democratic Nation" and vote (even as a woman) when I am not happy with what is going on in my government. Since the government helps itself to a piece of my paycheck everytime I get one, I definitely want a say in it.
