I voted because:
- I want to feel part of the governance of a nation, part of the System you could even say.
- I don't want to have to refer to "the System" pretentiously, contemptuously, or apathetically. I don't want it to be a dirty word.
- I'm saying I'm willing to take responsibility for my nation.
These were the local body - Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) - elections.
Which is why when I cast my (secret) ballot, my choice was for the candidate best placed to ensure ward-level development.
I think that's fair, but that's a view that is open to change.
Does larger ideology and party principles take or should take precedence over ward-level issues?
Me and my violently indigo pointer are going to give that some thought for when the next election cycle starts.
