How do most folks vote, personal interest or national interest? How about you?

Constitutional interest, in most cases. In cases where the constitution is vague on the issue, I weigh the pros and cons. I try to keep personal interests out of it, but no one is perfect.

Hi I don't think people will think for the national interest. Because in this world, everybody is selfish and what they think and what they do is for their purpose only. If they vote for a person who is good, naturally, the prices of the essential commodities will be either comes down or do not increase which will benefit the voter. Their other needs will be taken care of like providing good roads, good water facilities, public transport system etc will be taken care of by the elected person

I vote a little of both ways and often have to choose a candidate to vote for where one or the other reasons suffers because the overall policies of the candidate fit best for me.

Voting in the interest of the country and its future IS in fact, voting in your own best interest personally. While the promise of one candidate or another may sound like something that will benefit you, at least in the short term, if it is detrimental to the security or economy or freedom enjoyed by the country, then it will eventually turn out to have been a poor choice and not in your best interest or that of your family and progeny. The nation's future is our future, people must start to weigh the impact of every choice and be courageous enough to make the choice that is right for the country.

hi valentinesdiner I am trying to think on this one,and for me tonight thinking is hard. I think I do vote for the candidate who would do the most for our country, I know its not a personal interest. I think if we vote on personal stuff it is too shallow, I have heard women vote for some candidate because they thought he was so good looking, shame on them.
