Should I Vote?

India Elections
Congress-JMM alliance splits in Jharkhand over seats.

Congress facing infighting in Haryana.

Rift in SP as Jaya Prada renominated from Rampur.

Jayalalitha lures PMK as Congress hits roadblock in Tamil Nadu.

BJP struggles ahead of elections with seat sharing issue in Orissa with BJD.

CPM part ways with Congress and ready for any role in Third Front.

NCP-Congress drama goes on and
Pawar wants Maharashtrian to become PM.
... and many more that you may read in the news.

A myriad of political parties coming under 3 major umbrellas to fight an election with close to 700 million voters and a spending estimated at Rs. 10,000 crores ($2 billion) and we are not sure if we will get a clear end result.

Each and every party is interested in seats and getting into power. In fact, I have not heard any party issues their manifesto except CPM (Read here)

I feel that a large majority of population is not sure whom to vote for just because they neither know the history of the candidate nor what they have done in his/her previous tenure.

Should we explore negative voting?

This way, we vote. A negative vote!
