There are several excuses of not voting but the most suprious one is : "There are no suitable candidates or parties". In democracy, espcially in a system where there is no cut-off of a lower turnout (i.e even if the voting percentage is 5%, the election will still be valid), this is nothing more than a ostrich-in-the-sand view.

So you have one vote - make it count. You may believe that all parties are venal and not worth voting for - but what you are doing by voting is simply electing one of the "most fit". So it is a relative choice and not an absolute choice. The relative choice may not be to your liking but doing nothing more than not voting is worsening the situation.

Very few folks in India do not vote along these four lines : religion, region, caste and class. If you are taking an informed choice, make it count. As the regressive millions who vote along these lines will vote anyway. You have a choice of making a slightly better choice than the blind choice made by millions. So vote and make it count.

Your feeble form of non-protest by non-voting is a half-baked, stupid, lazy and pseudo-righteous idea.
