negative voting
by denis on Jan 25, 2005 08:44 AM   Permalink

At the height of World War II, Winston Churchill was asked why the Allies were opposing the menacing advance of the Axis juggernaut across Europe.
He replied, " so that somewhere, in some unknown country,in an unknown polling booth, an unknown citizen, can put a cross against some unknown candidate, belonging to some unknown party."The PUCL should educate the voters and set up a suitable candidate who can serve the citizens.Negative voting will not debar the elected candidate from winning the elections.Citizens should shed their lethargic & fatalistic attitude towards authority and express themselves more volubly throughout the year.This will be much more effective than snoozing and casting a negative vote, and again relapse into slumber.Thee are many avenues to express our concern over current matters.Right to information, transparency, and accountability should be maintained rigidly.
