Right to reject - can help in cleaning our political system

Right to reject- an option for the voters to stamp on "choose none" if they like none of the candidates.

For

- It allows the authorities to disapprove any candidate that they found unworthy to hold a position.
- Right to reject will ensure the funds to be used for the welfare of the people as people will have the right to reject corrupt political parties.
- It will be a useful tool for anti-corruption legislation.
- It will create awareness amongst the youth and it would result in sweeping through corrupt parties or candidates.
- It will ensure that the parties issue tickets to the most deserving candidates willing to work in national interest.
- Dirty politicians will eventually die a slow death.

Against

- Corruption is an institutionalized structure in India; rejection politicians won’t destroy or eliminate it.
- On the contrary taking part in polling and voting for a candidate is the way to go which would ensure selection of better political parties.
- Right to reject can only send out a message to a candidate or a party, it is equivalent to not casting a vote at all.
- It does not represent a functioning democracy rather it leaves some gaping hole in it and can create political instability.
- Right to reject weakens the institution of democracy, which needs to be strengthened.
- Incase of no body getting a majority, a re-election would be required wasting time, energy and money.
- It is difficult to implement in a huge population like India.

Right to reject is an interesting possibility, especially since its legal feasibility needs to be considered. It would result in weakening of the Indian democracy and parliament democracy. India being a democratic country cannot let an entity to weaken its democracy. People might benefit but not as much as they will, if they start voting sensibly.
