And once again I am questioning what the logical background of white voter’s right to protest removal[1] is.
- Even a consenting absentee might have participated in the country’s development in another way.
- This is a form of ad hominem.
- Good criticisms can come from any person. Filtering them out merely based on whether the speaker has voted or not is not a good idea, for the government’s sake.
- You can just protest if you’d like.
Anybody desires to enlighten me? Otherwise I will stick to the idea that every citizen has the right to abstain. 😎
UPDATE:
[1] Just to make it clear, I think there is a consensus (at least in my home country) that an absentee has no right to protest the government, since s/he does not participate in the election(?). “Orang golput wajib diam“, white voters must keep silent, they say.
[2] For an extreme example, consider all candidates in presidential and parliamentary elections abstaining. What should happen? 😀
