Trichromatic Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Do you vote according to party or according to the candidate? This question came to my mind when I was thinking about next Lok Sabha elections. Many people dislike current govt and would like show them the door in 2014. But if Congress presents a candidate better than candidates of other parties in your constituency, shouldn't you vote for Congress? What would you do?
Desi Cartman Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I usually go for a good leader with at least reasonable social policies
cowboysfan Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I used to vote for the person and not the party in India,sometimes you have to pick the lesser of two evils.
anotherhawkeye Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Guys who vote for the person - you vote for the pm or cm candidate or your local mla or mp?
The Outsider Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Always the local MP/MLA candidate - all parties are pretty much equally bad.
anotherhawkeye Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 ^ isn't it true even for your local MLA/MP candidates? The decent ones have no chance of winning and the rest, who have some chance of winning, are usually not good. Oh, Indian democracy.
punjabi_khota Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Haven't had a chance to vote yet :mad: :finger:

cowboysfan Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I looked it up and Ananth kumar is still the MP from bangalore south.I voted for him but my entire family always votes congress.

Oh, Indian democracy.[/quote'] Well on quite a few occasions Vajpayee was the MP candidate from my constituency so it was quite easy to vote for him.
yoda Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Haven't had a chance to vote yet :mad: :finger: +1
Clarke Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Mostly by higher level leader until now & depending on the running party's performance. Voted against Modi in 2002 & for Vajpayee in 2004. Will surely vote against Congress in 2014 but not sure who's the most viable alternative.
