a simple question to you......
by amit on Apr 11, 2007 02:06 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Hi,
Read so many messages..... just one question... all those who comment here.... DO YOU VOTE?
It is shame for us that voting is never even 90 %, people who comment here ,rarely go to vote, and thus all crab happens... i humbly request before blaming any person,blame your self... please vote and choose the correct person.
Jai Hind

There is not a single correct person whom U can trust (whether from any party). Whosoever sits on the chair becomes corrupt. Only difference is few r more and few r little less corrupt. Everyone's intention is just one, as long as he/she is in power, earn as much as possible. A very bitter truth......

All the people who say that they dont vote bcos all politicians are corrupt should understand this. Even if 1 person goes out and votes the election is valid and there will be a winner. There is no quorum ine elctions nor does the person elected need 50% of the votes. So all u lazy bugs trying to hide behind stupid reasons and enjoying a holiday on elections day, get up and vote for the person who is the least corrupt (or based on ur criteria).

zubair suggested keep a one more button in electronic voting machine for none of above candidate.
so govt can select a well qualified person on that position.

Aone, the suggestion looks good theoretically but is not practical. Who will be declared a winner?? The one with 50% or more votes. How many MP's in this country get more than 30% of the votes in a constituency?? Hardly any. And how many times will u keep conducting polls and rejecting candidates. Any idea how much it costs to conduct a poll? The answer to all this only one thing. Vote for the guy who is the best of the rest. To beat that guy the rest of the guys will then reduce a bit of their corruption and communalism and the cycle goes on. I agree the cycle is slow but the reason is that none of the educated and sane people come into politics. Only this way we can get better leaders. Not by sitting at home.

dear amit

main voting nahi karta.....

yeh democracy ke naam pe hume ulloo bana rahe hain....vote karna aap ka adhikar hai..etc..etc

jab aap ke samne saare chor khade hain aur woh bol rahe hain ke hum me se ek ko chun lo...to kya fark padta hai...jis ko bhi jeetaoge woh hai to chor hi na...

haan agar election commission chahta hai ke india mein 90% voting ho to voting machine mein ek button aur add kar do...

non of the above....

phir dekhna sab se jyada vote isi button mein cast honge....

**jai hind**

Good question Amit.

But whom to vote for. Its a choice between the worst guy and the not-so-bad guy.

We should have some criteria for selecting politicans like basic education and lots of experience in the field they want to be ministers for.

Will we ever see a better India! before we die.

I fear the choice is between the devil and the deep sea or between hell and high water. The choice is very limited. therefore, not voting is not an offence
