> For very similar reasons, I never voted back home in India. There was a
time when a group of young technocrats and entrepreneurs got  together and
formed a political party..In India political parties are not limited to 2..I
wouldve voted for them..but the party broke-off  and somehow didn't fly.
Even in India the overall voter turn out is barely 50%..and interestingly
there was a suggestion by a govt committee to have an option of "No vote" in
the  ballot paper. And as per the recommendation if the "No Vote" won a
majority then the election was void and they had find new candidates..of
course an election is a costly affair and there would be major push back on
reelections from many corners. I hope one day there will be someone/party
dynamic enough to break the nexus between the politicians and big
businesses...
