"Going to voting station, standing in queue and voting is a painful process and most of us don't take the trouble."

Not exactly cupcakes and candy in America either. But I suspect the voting process is easier here. But our numbers are also very low. In 2014 I think 36% of the voting population voted? Which means, the current government doesn't represent the American people.

But whose fault is that? Well ours (Americans), of course. Most don't take the time (or care too) too vote. But man, when it comes time to bitch about issues everyone steps to the front.



This is news to me. I didn't know voting percentage in US was so bad. In India, its actually much better. About 50-60% most of the time but thats because candidates pay $20 per vote!
