Laser-Guided Democracy

Posted by Branden Ho

The right to vote has always been central to a democratic governance. However, it has to be noted that there are countries where citizen are made to vote. They have to vote.

Singapore, where I live in, is one such state.

Is voting the only time a democratic government has to be totalitarian?

When people vote, they want to feel that they are voting for something they actually want. Say there are two parties, and both parties do not offer what a certain citizen wants from a government, but still he has to vote. How is that democratic?

Isn't the right NOT to vote a given under democratic governance?
