When I looked at the MPP campaign poster and their “voters, phone us with your concerns” hotline earlier today, I noticed that the phone number was 1921 harking back to the revolution as a nice touch.
Not to be outdone in that regard, guess what the DP hotline’s number is? 1206. Ah yes, never a good Mongolian public appeal without some reference to Chinggis Khan hidden somewhere in the rhetoric.
Both big parties are thus clearly harking back to glorious times in the nation’s imagined history and doing so by using a vanity phone number. Oddly, especially the level of Twitter activity among Mongolian politicians, very few of the campaign ads mention URLs, FB or twitter accounts.
