hardly no value anymore. this right has the biggest expense spent, but having the least respect being given to it. nobody's honest anymore. politicians claiming honesty are just less dirty or inadequate in their tricks.

You're right, but there are still politicians that are honest... you may doubt but i personally know a certain public servant that never bought any votes since he ran.3 terms not buying votes while his opponents have spent millions to gain the votes of most numbers. But because people see the action and service and progress of the town, they still let that person win.

i guess not really, because they still manage to manipulate the data anyway, which made me totally apolitical.

Did it not cross your mind that your vote whether later the results be manipulated or not, would have made a difference, if you did cast your vote for the people you want to be elected?

I dont have the right to vote because I am not old enough yet, but then I will be glad that I have some control in how government works, as long as politions arent fixing elections.

For me, I know that we have our own right to vote. To express who among our bet one, but this time, prior to what happen in every election, our rights to vote our vanished. Because of the poverty or poor quality of each family, we sometimes support or favor on buying our votes. In respect with this, we dont even doubts on what would be the circumtances that might happen when we our not sure if that person is right for the position. We just only neglected the fact that we just notice what they did to our constituents and to our country. I hope that we use our two eyes to see what is happening right now, to look on who is the right person for the position. Dont just let our votes to be take for granted. Show your voice and lift up what is good for us. Go on friend. Vote for the right one.

I value my vote as a sacred right of any individual.But i will not vote tomorrow because i don't want my vote to be manipulated which for me is transgression of my right to choose my leader.A leader should represent the goals and aspiration of the citizenry and it's not happening.
