Where decisions count

The first time I am voting. Suddenly, friends and colleagues seem to have strong opinions about the leadership of the country. Maybe they always have, just that it wasn’t a conversational piece till time calls for it. Social media certainly magnified the extent of one’s view.

While it’s admirable that some have strong views about who they want to vote for, it gets kinda of irritating when others keeping reminding you to “vote wisely” on Facebook, or turn any Fb post to an opportunity to sway you to their choice of candidate. So much so, some wouldn’t even stop bombarding their differing views on their friend’s post, attempting to convince them otherwise.

I will cast my vote on the party who has gained my respect, has substance in their promises and certainly not to others who simply pin point the weaknesses of their opponents.
