Well, “none of the above” option doesn’t work.
Even if there are more/majority of votes recommending “None of the Above” it results in nothing but a proposition of “Re-elections”.
Although it never happened yet.
But you must not forget that its Our own taxed money which is being used/wasted in these elections.
So how “right” you find to force a re-election, a further wastage?

And even if you do so, what change are you expecting?

let’s say in the forthcoming “LokSabha Elections” , majority citizens of India vote for “none of the Above” option, what will be the result? Result will be a re-election. But do you think that after announcing for re-election, any progressive change will happen? Same parties, same system will go for a re-election (may be with a changed issues-paper for the election)!

Basically, there is no other way to defend freedom but to establish Property rights as the “Fundamental Right”.

Indian government cannot go for it, and Infact indian government removed the property right from constitution itself in 1962, because if it allows property rights, it looses all ruling power over citizens and citizens becomes free. Than how will government enforce the ridiculous laws like “reservation”, womens right bill, education bill, health-care bill, no-smoking bill etc etc etc…? how will it make redundant and wasteful laws to be inacted, which serves none but provides enough opportunities for embezzlement, corruption, and dishonesty?
How will it keep education, healthcare, security system, currency system etc under control?
In simple terms, with economic freedom and “establishment of property right as fundamental right” Indian citizens will achieve the freedom and sovereignty for which we are struggling since last 150 years. (1857 GADAR), first we were struggling against British government, now the struggle is against the bureaucratic interventionist government.

what if the right to vote was supplemented by the choice to reject .ie negative vote (none -of-the-above option).? it would still make it the tyranny of the majority,but it would atleast reduce the chances of ‘lesser of the two evils’ situation we have right now.

an example:
in a certain college somewhere, a batch was lagging in it schedule. In the final year, the authorities decided that the last year should be curtailed and examination taken in time to allow the students to be eligible for the next degree during the same year. Otherwise, they would have to wait an year to apply.
Nobody objected to it when it was announced. Now, a month before the exam, majority realized that they were not prepared due to their own fault. They decided to seek delaying. Some guys were prepared and not ready to lose a year in their life. They objected. They were asked to shut up and threatened.
The majority decided to take a vote. The exam is about to be postponed.
Such is democracy!
