this thing about "buying" votes


Situation 1 :If I in a certain constituency and my representative supplies adequate drainage, roads, health care, education, safety....can it be said he has "bought" my vote? He has given me what I want, I am happy, I will support him because he will continue to to give me what is needed

Situation 2 : I need $1000 to buy medication for my mother/father/grand father whatever, I can't benefit under any government plan, mt hope don't have the meds or not getting it for months, family member gonna die if I don't get them their meds. I approach the representative and tell them the situation, he tell me "go by the pharmacy with this letter, they will give you what you need, I will sort out the bill"
So I get the necessary meds, I happy, representative save my family member life, I will support him.



What's the difference with any of those situations?

very different

The first can secure thousands of votes while the second may only secure a few votes from the patient and close family who are directly affected.

i meant with regard to "buying" votes


aren't they "buying" votes in both cases?

Nah, in one case it's not his money, it belongs to the taxpayer, no matter how he takes the fame for it. what he can take the fame for is doing what he is paid for, representation.

uncmites and pnmites be made because he's changing the game, he's actually doing what people put him there to do and not keep them in a deprived backward state, and only around elections you pave two road and put up a street light...

and if they're lucky a village stand pipe. He's upsetting the very core on which these parties were founded - enslave and deprive.

"he tief" - then prove it and take your evidence to the police instead of cyakin up a storm on facebook.

GTFO backward krunts...it's 2013. Start doing your work and stop depriving your people.

People need to be empowered, it's the only way we can become developed. Tall buildings in POS/Chaguanas does not make us developed. The present unc/pnm are bent on keeping people in the stone age, thus they get to control them every 5 years. I am sick to my stomach of this social stratification and elitism the unc/pnm been pushing for decades. It needs to end.

unc = pnm
