Voting Jitters

With the election nearing and myself knowing nuts about politics, I really do not know which party to cast my vote upon. Besides, I haven't been briefed on how to mark the ballot sheet. I do not want to vote for the wrong party and end up making the deserving party lose. As an educator said "You deserve the government you voted for" (* Note: Politics was not discussed in class.This statement fits in with this post).


Both parties, the government and the opposition (if this is how it works), have their own tales to tell. You would never know which to believe but only the better story wins. I never understood classroom politics in school, college and university, which is why I often end up being oppressed by classroom politicians.


However, I have been told that, the former minister that has been behind bars, is manipulating the opposition party to his own benefit. He had caused much distress to the country almost a decade ago. The public would definitely remember the financial crisis that loomed over the country and what a journey it had been to bring the country to its current state. Certainly, we wouldn't want history to repeat itself. Although there are some strong figures in the opposition, is it really worthwhile taking such a risk?


Whom does the public turn to when their daughter/wives/husbands run away from home?
Whom does the public turn to when asking for financial aid?
Whom does the public turn to when their children fail to obtain scholarships and placement in universities?


When it comes to asking for favours, the public will turn to MCA. When it comes to casting their votes, the public decides that the opposition is more deserving. Whatever the decision, don't be goats/penguins. You don't have to jump off a cliff just because your leader/idol/peers does so.


Exercise your right cautiously.
YOU DESERVE THE GOVERNMENT YOU VOTED FOR!
