Why You Should Vote In The Coming Election by Kazrem(m): 8:02pm On Feb 04, 2015 |
Imagine, the coming Presidential election is a Champions League knockout stage second leg in your home ground. With every goal scored by the opposing team, you must score 2 unreply goals. If the opposing team score 2 goals, you must score 3 unreply goals and it goes on like that. Now to the election, with every vote cast against preferred candidate, your candidate must get 2 votes, one to negate the opposing candidate and the other to lead him. This is why you should vote. Don't say my single vote cannot count or determine the winner. It can. One vote has determined the fate of countries in the past and it can still determine this. History has this to say about one determining vote. "In 1645, one vote gave Oliver Cromwell control of England. In 1649, one vote literally cost King Charles I of England his head. The vote to behead him was 67 against and 68 for – the ax fell thanks to one vote. In 1714, one vote placed King George I on the throne of England and restored the monarchy. In 1776, one vote gave America the English language instead of German. Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Rutherford B. Hayes all became the US Presidents by a margin of one vote. In 1868, one vote in the US Senate saved President Andrew Johnson from impeachment. In 1875, a one-vote margin changed France from a monarchy to a republic. On November 8, 1923, members of the then revolutionary political party met to elect a leader in a Munich, Germany beer hall. By a majority of one vote, they chose an ex- soldier named Adolph Hitler to become the NAZI Party leader. South Africa lost the bid to host 2006 world cup to Germany by one vote.” Don't just vote, vote wisely. Vote For Change. Vote APC. |
