One candidate received no votes

I doubt it has got anything to do with how good or bad the candidate is/was. There ismore to it than meets the eye. Going by the political scene the world over very few are above board when it comes to voting someone because..............

Hmmmm.....Are you suggesting fraud of some type?

I don't feel bad that he lost but I do feel that there could have been some loyalty from family , good or bad he may be;I don't think he could have been that bad too[like what is shown in films]; but what struck me as odd was as to why he did not vote for himself.Probably there had been some calamity in the family that made them all unable to come. THen I feel sorry but I also feel relieved that his own kith and kin might have been loyal had not been for the mass inability to visit the polling booth.

Anyhow, I feel you need not worry too much because there is another one from another ward to keep him company [though not exact but somewhere close]because he had secured one vote despite many relatives.Obviously, there has been some mischief or both were un deserving candidates.

Too bad that they did it. It only got exposed because there were no votes. Probably the family thought they would get away as no one would know. I feel bad for this guy. He must have lost his deposit too!

There will be very few who think the way you do. I attach no importance to this voting system as most are unfit anyway.

It is time for reflection jenny. All that glitters is not gold - family I mean. As long as it is open to the public we will pretend that we love our family and deep down there is more hatred. Although in this case we are just speculating. There could be genuine reasons why this has happend. Stranger is the fact that the candidate also did not vote for himself. I wonder who he voted for

When we sit back and think so many probabilities show up. It is therefore said one should not come to a conclusion at the drop of a hat!

Did that candidate really want to run for the post? Or was he just forced to run?

It is obvious. Is it not? Here again there could be umpteen number of reasons why he himself did not or could not cast his vote.

thank you for your comment, but I think that it is not obvious, because I do not know if where he is from the cantidade could vote.

We have assumed that the family thinks he is not suitable. There could be other reasons which stopped them from going to the booth. But it is human tendency to think of the worst and we have decided to 'hang' him!

If that had happened to me I would have craved for a sink hole! Whatever differences the family could have had with this candidate got exposed. I wonder why he did not vote himself. Wonders never cease!

Are you likening Canada to a sink hole???

Sink hole is a phenomena that suddenly appears and the earth swallows you and your surroundings. That would be better than having to face such humility!
