Kerala finds itself in a unique position as it seems to steadily march towards non-relevance on the national stage. The world's first 100% literate state as defined by the UN has just exercised another round of vox populi, without the populi having a cogent vox.
Unlike other states like Tamil Nadu where you know beforehand it's the incumbent you are voting against,- it's either the corrupt ex-Chief Mistress or the corrupt Chief Man, Kerala's problem is a little complicated. On the one side, you have a corrupt party representing an antediluvian ideology headed by a clean CM, or you have a corrupt party headed by an equally corrupt CM candidate representing a progressive ideology.
It's right man-wrong party-terrible ideology vs. terrible party-wrong man-right ideology. So, who does the common literate (not exactly educated) Keralite vote against this time?
