I see a
high number of NOTA (none of the above) this time in the Tamil Nadu state election... I need to say I don’t support it quite. I see
it's an option to choose only if we think/consider all the candidates in a
constituency are unfit. But before we head to poll a vote we should aware who are
contesting, and whose words are promising, reliable and yet realistic. I don't
know people think voting to nota as a fashion statement? But rejecting everyone
blindfold isn't a democracy. We are forced to survive among thorns and what we
should see is which one is less sharp… I support for a change, but in a largest
democratic country like us it will take time and people has to come out of their
comfort zone to choose their candidates and parties.
As
expected there had been a heavy competition between the two prime parties of
Tamil Nadu and both has come close in defeating each other in
minimum number of votes… thanks to the 3rd front and other parties to
go on individual rather making an alliance. Though they all witnessed defeat in
all constituencies (never like before), it only helped the prime parties gaining more
than enough seats to form a govt. and strong opponent. The ruling party (ADMK)
has come to power once again with majority of seats and ever in a history of an
opposite; DMK has scored an increasingly large number of seats to hopefully to see
a healthy debate. With any other parties having voice for people, the DMK has
more responsibility to preserve and restore people’s rights and need in assembly.
Apart many
complain of money distribution for voting (which is true) from both the parties,
the 3rd and 4th level parties losing the deposit only
proves their wrong calculation and blindfold confident. Overall they are
planned to praise themselves than making a strategic. Apart making freebies and
implementing complete prohibition there isn’t anything prudential in their
manifesto (including the prime parties) and making an alliance in a short
period and indifference attitudes put them down front. Though change is their main
goal but the way they chose to be wrong… a change could be happen only step by step,
just the way prohibition should be, because a sudden change will not be healthy
always and long-lasting is doubtful.

My frustration on our side of the world is about the same. None of the above is my very same feeling about our races. I have tolerated a president that didn't like our country for almost 8 years now and I am not anxious for fly by nights to just land in the White House.
I support for change too and I know most people do, but in most democratic countries in the world it takes time and people have to get out of their comfort zone to choose their candidates and parties wisely. Hope you are having a wonderful time.God bless you.
Hello, Jeevan. Politics is always so complicated. I forsee a lot of people in the USA choosing NOTA in the election this fall :)
I think Nota is fine as barring one or two,all the parties are the same.Specially in Tamil Nadu freebies culture influence people's decisions.Instead of rejecting the party distributing consumer goods with taxpayers money,the greedy middle class vote for that party. How can things improve.
NOTA is a good option when compared to not exercising your voting rights.
I think people vote for the party whom they think will benefit them the most, and not necessarily do the right thing for a larger section. That's why I think it's easy to lure people with money and freebies.
Prohibition is a difficult thing to achieve and I admire the states where this is already in affect, including the recent decision by Nitish Kumar's govt. in Bihar. But however, keeping the bars in five-star restaurants open while shutting down only the local liquor shops shows only double standards.

The freebie culture of the two main parties is killing the state and creating lazy citizens...The Tax paying middle class is the loser. We need a credible 3rd front in future...not the kind of jokers who formed the 3rd front this time.
