With such high rates of criminals contesting, vote-bank politics and oppurtunit politicians running the country, the no-Vote choice is strong signal to the beauracracy. V r not happy with the political set-up. By 10 years i believe the no-votes would cross 50% of electoral votes and the country would be on the verge of a revolution, its best the beuracracy prepares for such a situation and reform the constitution under emergency. I would propose a tri-party system based on ideals, interests and policies as leftist, rightist and centerist parties, and the rest being independents. This way the country would also have a hedge against political instability caused by regional parties and coalitions.

We will vote for 49 O because we want to send a message to politicians that we will no longer accept the corrupt and inefficient as our leaders.

More than 260 million people do not vote in elections. Even if 1% of them were to vote for 49 O, it will send shivers among the politicians.

Who should we vote for? why should be vote? they all want to come to power just to fill their own pockets. they have nothing to do with THE ISSUES BOTHERING THE COMMON MAN!!! they are providing with Z SECURITY where the common man dies in bomb blast, road accident. currently we are living in fear and NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY SOLUTION. no one is capable of stopping terrorism…disgusting!! Aamir Khan says “if we do not want to vote in favour of one, we should vote against him/her.” But i want to ask him, by voting against one aren’t we voting in favour of another. how will that make any difference when they all think alike. WE SHOULD NOT MAKE ANY MISTAKE THIS TIME. PEOPLE, BRING THE REVOLUTION…WE HAVE GOT THE CHANCE. THINK twice before casting your precious vote.

Implementing the concept of no-vote is required as it will help the citizens express their dissatisfaction with the current lot of politicians. But where would we go from there? Would the next lot of politicians be any better? How long will the voters exercise this option before giving in to the what they perceive as the lesser evil and avoiding a hung government?

What is more important is identifying, grooming and supporting the kind of candidates we want to vote for. The no-vote option can only be a stop gap arrangement.

It is urgently required… It might be the only way out to have a lot of cleaner politicians… I feel it should also come with something like re-election where there are more then 50% no-vote and banning of all listed candidates in the constituency in the next re-election. If the election is the only time when the politicians listen to the people, then we should have the right to say them “get the hell out of here”
