Crumbs for the opposition .let's look for what we can take from the elite to satisfy a few of the professionals and spend some more on education so that so many spoilt paper don't happen in future democratic elections.or since the opposition don't like one they can't win,ban them (elections that is).

Perhaps you would like to ban oppositions all together.

It would seem that there are still, in the nation, individuals who value an unpoliticised judiciary.
It's good to see that there are still ethical people in this part of the world.

Banning elections and oppositions is the habit of sectors that like things the way they see them,ethical people you appear to call them.why advocate spoiling voting papers seen as voting is meant to be a positive act to express a preference in a limited field of options. Isn't spoiling papers a destructive and dissenting action.

Yes, Yuleno, it is. But it is a way within the democratic process that dissent can be publically seen and felt.
Better than the rioting/killing/looting/etc in Chile, don't you think?

The point is here Geoff, is that to claim that all blank and spoilt papers belong to one view is a little deceitful.I suppose we have to be content,at least non vote are not claimed by an opposition that clearly does not have the high ground.the fact that things might be different in chile originate much early than in the present times And we do not want them times back I'm sure hence my point about the correct use and respect for the democratic process
