“One man. one vote” is the fairest method to choose leaders in any democratic society. Voting is a patriotic right to choose your representative government. A citizen’s vote is a secret ballot. Voting is the most important exercise a citizen will do as a responsible citizen of a democratic nation. In a functioning democracy, being able to vote allows citizens to express their political opinions by voting a particular policy or candidate that has your best interest in mind. By this, you can decide your very own future by opting a candidate who might speculate your own aspects and possibly those people who share the same opinion with you.
Voting is a right of all eligible voters in any country. It is seen as the normal or typical form of political activity and it remains the primary means of political participation. The goal of any voting system is to establish the intent of each individual voter and translate those intents into a final tally or reality. According to Abraham Lincoln; “No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent” This further explains that in a truly democratic society, governments are instituted among qualified and responsible men who derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. Another ex-American president, Lyndon Johnson have this to say in support of Abraham Lincoln that “The right to vote is the most basic right, without which all others are meaningless”. Voting is the first duty of democracy. The government is based on citizens’ votes for representation. In a democracy, your vote is your voice and the act of standing up for what you believe. Voting helps to preserve our way of life.
The Federal Election October 21, 2019
Nonetheless, it is of the essence for every voter to cast his/her vote, for every single vote matters in the elections. So far as the local Muslim populace is concerned, it is of crucial importance for it to go to the designated polling stations of their respective areas to exercise its hard-earned right of a franchise that has been bestowed upon the people being the citizens of the country of its adoption. Every vote matters in the democratic set up of the sitting Member of Parliament, where the people are its real architects.
This is the precise reason that the Miracle newspaper is strenuously creating awareness in the Islamic community for its positive and energetic participation in the electoral process, may that be started from city level. It is, however, regretted to point out that despite the repeated wake up calls the local Muslim Ummah does not deem appropriate to pay heed to the wake-up alarms and let the opportunity of sending more of its representatives in the parliament slip out of its hands. Consequently, the representation of this community at all levels of governance is devastatingly much below its proportion. This is an appallingly dismaying picture in comparison to the other ethnic communities around. Everyone has seen that in this election 2019 more than 40 Punjabi community members are participating and especially in Surrey major ridding all 3 candidates from major parties are opponents.
Now when the time for getting something substantial has practically run out owing to the fault of none other than the community itself, it is futile to cry over the spilled milk.
All the Muslim votes in their respective areas and bringing the voters out of their homes for casting their votes at the polling booths. Putting together of every solitary vote matters for winning the elections in the same way as the little drops of water are required to contribute their might to make an ocean. The youth volunteers of both the sexes can accomplish this productive job conveniently and effectively. Besides, it is equally imperative for all the organizations of the community operating in this area to formulate some tangible plan and educate the people for future on this issue of crucial importance, as the cycle for the federal elections at different levels continues to roll ahead on the footing of four years term under the law.
If You Don’t Vote, then DON’T Complaint
For everyone that complains that they don’t like how the Parliament is running things now and for everyone that thinks the MP is on the right track, today is your day — Election Day. Nobody in this world has the right to complain about how our parliamentarians are working, and how our representatives are voting against any public issue at national and international levels, is unless he or she has voted. Voting for our representatives is the cornerstone of our democracy, and we do have the power to change how national works through our vote.
Voting takes very little time, and if you did not vote for a candidate you should not complain, because you did not even take the time to vote for those people who make the decisions.
However, the sad fact of this world is that most people do not vote. They do not think it is worth the time; they don’t think their one vote will matter, and they think that there is nothing that can be done to fix the way politics are now. Those people are wrong.
While change is never easy or fast it can be done, and voters have proven they can speak with one very loud voice. The only thing someone can do that is worse than not voting is voting blindly. Voters need to make sure they are sending someone into office they think can do the best job.
Read the newspaper today, and get a grasp on the people running for member of parliament, and then go into the voting booth. Better yet, take a minute right now to contemplate what issues are the most important to you, your family at national levels and then take a look at what the candidates believe in.
If you don’t know what you believe in, don’t complain when someone does it for you.
In short, go vote.
