Small quibble,
I think voting is a right and not a duty. Until we have "none of the above" on the election card, I think that not voting is a legitimate choice. I have chosen that option on occasion.
EDIT to add: I really want "none of the above" as an option. Then if say 50% vote "none of the above" it should make the election irrelevant and new candidates provided. |
I think your clarification suits me down to the ground, especially as I've also chosen not to vote more than once.
I think you're right, a "none of the above" option is needed.
