Maina and King’ang’i Shed Light On Unique Voting Problems Between Couples

This morning, Maina and King’ang’i were concerned about women in the election process. He claimed that “it’s one week to elections and if you’ve noticed a strange thing, it’s that women haven’t been very active in campaigns and rallies. WHAT’S GOING ON?”

Maina today was interviewing middle-class women callers specifically, noting that there has been a voting pattern where women are reluctant to vote because their husbands expect the entire family to vote in one direction. However, today when women called in to the Classic 105 breakfast show, there was a seeming change in attitude. A lot of women were willing to go ahead and vote against their husband’s wishes for a unified family vote. One woman even called to say that her husband was in the running for an MP position, but he had caused her so many problems that she was going to vote against him!

Personally, I think that the discouragement of people from voting in unified patterns(e.g ‘six-piece’ voting) just goes to show how our political parties have no solid value proposition. The manifestos they present are simply for show, while each and every politician in the party eventually presents a different agenda on an individual level.

But what do YOU think? Should families vote in unison? Are you for or against ‘six-piece’ voting? Leave your interesting or creative responses in the comment section below:
