I thought we all can have a debate.
The right to say YES or NO.
Under our representative system of government, the citizens have the right to choose their government via elections.
Right now, political parties can manipulate and make adjustments in such a way that the electorate ina constituency has a choice which is determined by the political parties and their king pins and leaders or power brokers.
It is like you being given a tray of fruits and allowed to choose. But what if the tray contains only a few types of fruits, or only two or three types of fruits.? - What, in a worst case scenario, you get rotten fruits to choose from.? - The same criminal corrupt faces that endure for decades in Indian politics till they are 80 plus in years.?
So you are forced to choose from the two or three devils put on your tray. Do you have choice. The answer is NO. You have no choice, but to choose one of the rotten apples whether you like it or not and that apple comes back to power over and over again, sitting in parliament , playing his age old tricky politics and tactics.
Effectively you are not getting a choice. What you get is a right to say YES, to choose one rotten apple from the many offered to you. Like it or not.
So my question.
What if you had a right to say YES or a NO.? Is it not a choice ?
You have the right to say YES to a candidate or place a NO against a particular candidate who you feel is unfit to represent you.
Democratically you have exercised your right. To say YES or to reject by a NO.
The result is the final tally of YES votes after canceling all the NOs.
Thus if a candidate gets 10,000 YES votes and 5000 NO votes, his actual tally is 5000 votes.
This not only allows a true right of choice, but also eliminate deadwood corrupt politicians from using their money and wealth to stay on in power using the YES vote regime that exists now.
A politician seen as corrupt by the people, will not be allowed to stand for election by political parties as their candidate,, if the party feels that he can be rejected by the people with a NO vote.
Your thoughts please.
Remember, apathy and indifference will not make this world a better place. You got to get involved in what you wish to change a system that sucks your life and future. CHANGE. The time has come for change and think new.
