I Voted!

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.
