Moral Dilemma
- 6 May 2010 07:5450668So youngest daughter (who is working in France) has given me her proxy vote. Unfortunately she wishes to place her X on a different candidate to the one I'm voting for.
What to do?
1. She will never know which way I have voted.
2. On the other hand I'd be really annoyed if my preferred candidate loses by one vote.
Sod it. This is what democracy is about. One vote for my man + one for the other (but I'll still be annoyed if my man loses by one vote!). - 6 May 2010 07:5650669That's the honourable thing to do Bob.
I have a proxy vote too today, so will honour that one too.

(Whoops. I think that I've just indicated which way she voted!) - 6 May 2010 08:1550674BNP?

I must get down the polling station and see if they will let me get my paper out of the box.... - 6 May 2010 09:4050699I have to agree, its a matter of self respect and integrity....

- 6 May 2010 15:2750746Bob, I full agree with you, but once a proxy vote is accepted, it ought be carried out according to indication.
I personally would not accept a proxy vote if it were clearly against this Country, but I would also explain why to the person asking. But once the agreement is made, it can't be changed into another vote!Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA
