Toddlers Foods That Bind

The vote of discontent



  1. 1. 'Essay on the lucidity' is a timid criticism of corrupt democracy without values. Saramago is very superficial. It focuses on describing how they would react the circles of power. But forget the citizens who ultimately changed the situation through their votes and their sense common. The end of the novel is very open and invites the interpretation of each, but the author seems not to decide to 'wet' at all.
  2. This raises a debate on the functioning of democracy in which we live, and highlights the voting power of citizens, not only to elect the leaders, but to cast blank ballots to express their dissatisfaction with the situation living. Modern societies have never been suggested that would happen in a similar situation. There has always been about low turnout, more or less number of blank ballots, but none has been so high as to ask what now? and no watches that at least for now, may occur.
  3. electoral processes in many blank votes have tried to classify as an undemocratic or anti-vote, but the white voter who votes is simply someone who is not satisfied with the functioning of democracy and choose that way of putting it. If the white vote reached the barrier of 3% or 5%, we should let free seats in a camera?
  4. This topic seems too opportunistic, Saramago believes that we must take into account this possibility, and in my opinion the vote of the disaffected is significant but not so much weight on results. Be considered as an act of self-criticism, not a real option. In recent elections Catalonia blank vote stood for more than 2%, around 60,000 people. One thing to keep in mind, which is considered very large compared to elections of modern societies, but that does not affect the meaning of things, let alone be close to reaching that 70% to advocating Saramago.

  5. confronts us from the front pages the story of an act "strange", the white voting majority of a population. The answer, some labor leaders at any time cease to be stereotypes, is to leave the place to wait outside the own people suffer the consequences of uncontrolled and unchecked autonomy that can not be reached create. The structure seems weak, and the theme, though possible, very unlikely to treat it as a possible real event.
