The scratch vote is
a negative yet emancipating ballot option allowing us noble citizens to vote against all the candidates chosen in an
election.
It gives us room to exercise our vote in toto without having
to be subjected to choosing & accepting undeserving candidates with no
clear agenda or lacking mass appeal. This negative voting would gradually lead
to the objective of candidates being chosen by political parties that truly
represent the will of the voters.
It would foster cleaner elections and candidates with strong
leadership qualities and goodwill to rise above the rest.
We are finally moving towards an egalitarian society where
the burgess a.k.a citizens & tax payers can finally press the NOTA (None of
the Above) negating all candidates. However, one must truly utilize their
rights & opportunity to vote, rather than not, as that would be deemed as
catachresis of the electoral ideology.
A complete misuse of the system that is in place to assist us
to put forth a deserving candidate and if they are not truly commendable or
lack righteous actions then we should exercise our rights to reject them
completely, thereby forcing our nation’s political parties to compete with not only the
best candidates but who are worthy contenders as well.
