Right to Reject and its Misuse

  • 0
This post is intended for self reference and can help many as it can be taken as a template to make some points after the 2014 General Elections irrespective of the mandate given by the people.

Parliament Democracy can be funny and it will turn out to be more interesting in the next general elections as Supreme Court okayed the "Right to Reject" option where the voter can choose not to vote for any candidate.

Example:-

Let us assume that there is a guy named NM who is contesting for the MP seat from XNagar.
Total number of voters in the XNagar constituency according to Elections Commission is 100.

60 people came out and casted their votes on the election day.
40 people voted for NM
10 people voted for Others (Others=Main Opposition + Other parties + Independents)
10 people used the new option "Right to Reject" granted by Supreme Court

NM wins the MP seat and if NM's party gets good results across India, he has the chance to become the PM of the country.

Activists, Left Liberals and Assholes:-

Now, lets look at Activists, Left Liberals and many assholes. Let us assume that as NM is a public figure and he attracts criticism and let us even assume that Activists, Left Liberals and Assholes are haters of NM and cant bear to see NM as PM. So, the following would be the argument by them:

100 -Total voters in XNagar
60- No: of people who came out to vote
40 - No: of people who voted for NM
20 - Didn't want NM (10+10)

According to Election Commissions data
40- People who didn't turn up on voting day (100-60)

Some perjurist Teesta or a crook Amartya or a jerk URA or a fool like Amitav would come out and say that 60% people didn't vote for NM and would exude their deep hatred by saying that he cannot be the PM of the country as 60% people of his own constituency didn't want him and he cannot be the PM of this country.


If a supporter of NM argues that it is unfair to count the 40 who haven't shown on voting day then Activists, Left Liberals and many Assholes would say that 40 people didn't want to come to polling booths as its a waste of time and an insult to democracy and even if they had come they would have gone with opposition candidates or would have pressed "Right to Reject".

Let us do some basic mathematics here:

Out of the 40 people who didn't vote..
10 people would have got their voter ID information like the father name got replaced with his sons name, wife's name with his mothers name and his is printed like "Pamu" his actual name being P.Ramu.

Out of the rest 30, 10 would have come to polling booths but their name went missing and so they cannot register a vote.

Out of the rest 20, 15 do not exist, they exist only in the records of Election Commission.

Remaining 5 are the biggest culprits of the democracy, who have the right to vote but prefer to skip and at the same time pontificate and rant about the problems of the country.

I can hardly see any advantage by "Right to Reject" option granted by Supreme Court and I can very much tell that this "Right to Reject" would be used as catalyst by Activists, Left Liberals and Assholes to promote their bullshit.
