WOW!
The text isn’t mine – found it online – so don’t think I deserve the “WOW”. Typography and photography are mine though.
Dear BeanZ,
I am extremely distressed at your view of the elections in Pakistan broadcasted over the BBC. Elections is a democratic process that needs to be developed over time and is not simply just turning up at the polling booths on the day of the election.
Pakistanis seem to thrive on complaining about the incompetence of everybody in power, vote rigging and conspiracy theories.
If you are disinclined towards the persons that the parties nominate, have you ever tried to get like-minded persons together and try and ensure that a person that can truly represent you should get elected.
Expressing apathy towards the election process and not being involved, you will find yourself truly disenfranchised. Comments of despair in the international media will not change things at home, active involvement and extensive engagement would only improve true representation and democracy, and not feudal lords in the guise of democracy.
Amin: I went to vote in the last elections and in the 2008 elections. I wanted to nullify one of my votes and I think that should be a constitutional right.
I am actively involved with a number of groups, like-minded and not so like-minded, and an end to apathy is a major part of my work and has been for many years.
It’s ridiculous for you to assume I have never tried to get like-minded persons together or attempted to engage in any way.
this is BRILLIANT!!!!
Lovely!
O very nice! Quite a moment you have captured. Taken in the context of the text… quite amazing i’d say
