People now can't claim that they are underrepresented or unrepresented.
The rural voter can't say that nobody listens to my concern as his whole village is voting. The student can't say nobody gives a sh*t about my education because he is now a viable voting bloc. Voting is a right and it should be compulsory.
I understand where you are coming from but it keeps extremist movements away.

This time the percentage of people voted decreased like 4% - 5% ig in Kerala not sure (heard it in news)

Perhaps the most important NS Mega fun poll ever...

I get your point but what if there is no party or candidate who will consider their interests in policy making. Then they are forced to choose between multiple harmful options, it may be like choosing the less deadly poison. So this matter can be debated much more imo. Compulsory voting needs to bring along with it responsible candidates and parties who work for the interests of all groups.

I understand but at least in the 'West' countries which have compulsory voting have many parties which represents interests of different groups.
For e.g. Australia and Luxembourg.

Wsg mate

Wait you guys get jailed for not voting? I thought it was a joke

I don't know about Australia but here 1st time offenders are fined lightly while repeated offenders are fined heavily.
Exceptions are there for disabled and other types of physically depressed groups.
And if your are over 75 and a citizen you are not required to vote unless you register yourself.
And if you are 18 or above, registration for voting is compulsory.

Honestly for someone who wasnt aware about this before, it sounds very opposite of democracy. Somewhat like the horseshoe theory.

Yes, it matters. Also, middle class is around 30% in India. If they vote collectively, that's a lot of power. This "my vote doesn't matter" attitude has a negative effect on our democracy. But whom one is going to vote for is not affected besides getting to know the actual majority opinion

30% means 43.2(144 crores' 30%) crores people. Government working on 2011 census provides food to 80 crore PPL. If you add 43.2+80 crores it makes 123.2 crores but we have only 121 crores. The data is flawed.

Note down government policies works on census and financial management depends on current situation. Actual middle class is near 7.4 crores. I hope this helps.

If you can't see why every party is giving freebies than it's bad yaar.

And everywhere in world PPL vote in blocks not individually. The moment minorities (upper caste hindus mainly Brahmin, tax paying middle class, etc etc) will start voting like others, hate politics against them will rise.

Opposition is doing obc, sc/st vs general + muslims bjp is doing hindus + pashmanda vs Ashraf.

All this got me wondering how you define middle class, and maybe supplement that with why you think your categorisation is superior.

I do wanna counter your argument but tbh I'm tired of the same issue, voting for either of the sides is basically braindead at this point. As I said, work hard to get out of the deadlock, I can only imagine it being much worse in Bihar though.
Or if you think you can fix it maybe Padhai likhai Karo ias vaias Bano aur desh badlo, Bihar mein to vaise bhi log bhot mehnati hote hain.

Nobody accomplished anything ever by sitting on their arse. By voting atleast you can express your disapproval, even if you vote NoTA.

Everyone has a right to not be discriminated against, so one should not have to worry about hate politics. (I am not saying it doesn't exist, I am saying it shouldn't exist)

those who pay taxes are middle class. It's as simple. Yes, hate politics shouldn't exist but it exists rn. So, PPL have to worry about that.

I just want to be the greatest man by bloodline has ever seen.
