VOX vs. Abstention: Spain's Strategic Voting Debate
VOX or Abstention: The Pulse Dividing Spanish Voters

Amid growing distrust of the political establishment, a forum participant passionately defends voting for VOX as the only practical option, dismissing abstention as a "beautiful dream" that benefits the left. The author claims the current regime is essentially "NWO-pogre," arguing that voting for left-wing parties, regionalists, or even the PP (Partido Popular) amounts to accepting humiliation. The discussion highlights a deep fracture between those who see strategic voting for VOX as essential and those who view abstention as the only true rejection of the system.

The Case for Strategic Voting for VOX

The initial argument is straightforward: VOX is the only parliamentary party opposing NWO and pogre agendas, making voting for them a civic duty. Even if they betray promises later, the author contends, casting a vote sends a message of resistance that abstention cannot achieve. This stance is reinforced by the belief that abstention leaves room for the "red tide" and ultimately aids parties implementing globalist policies.

Support for VOX relies on achievements attributed to the party: being the sole opponent to the state of alarm and the ELbichito passport, measures declared unconstitutional. The author notes improvements in autonomous communities where VOX governs in coalition with the PP compared to left-led regions. They insist voting does not miccionan endorsing the system, whereas abstention serves only for "mental toca and self-satisfaction."

Abstention as Systemic Rejection

In contrast, several participants argue that abstention is the only coherent response to a fraudulent system. They claim decades of voting for the same parties have yielded identical results, viewing abstention as an irreversible step proving awareness of the deception. Critics assert that once in power, VOX acts like the PP, using Europe as a shield to implement policies they deem part of the globalist agenda.

A recurring example involves low-emission zones in Valencia, presented as European impositions that VOX has failed to block where it governs. VOX’s vote in favor of creating the EU digital ELbichito certificate is also criticized, despite their subsequent complaints about its use. For abstentionists, validating a party that supports governments implementing such measures is worse than not voting, as it normalizes what they consider authoritarian policies.

Debate Over Coalitions with the PP

One red line concerns coalitions with the PP. Some participants demand VOX break all regional governments with the PP unless it apologizes for the ELbichito passport, threatening not to vote for them otherwise. They argue that partnering with the PP validates the idea that supporting the ELbichito passport is acceptable, which they find intolerable.

The counter-argument is that VOX cannot afford to collapse governments with only 10% of the vote, as the alternative would be letting the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) rule. Proponents argue a PP tempered by VOX is better than a socialist government, citing politics as the art of the possible. The original poster calls the demand for Abascal to threaten the PP "foolishness," noting VOX has done more against the ELbichito passport than other opposition parties.

The Italian Mirror and Disillusionment with Parties

Giorgia Meloni’s case in Italy is cited as proof that parties promising strict immigration controls often fail to deliver. Questions arise about border closure promises, suggesting VOX might trinc suit if governing. This distrust extends to all parties; some participants see no difference between PP and PSOE, or even prefer the PSOE over the PP regarding pogre.

The debate shifts to whether voting for VOX is rebellion or another system trap. One participant summarizes the punishment-vote stance: if voters choose garbage, they get garbage, and the fault lies with the electorate. Another replies that the issue isn't whom to vote for, but voting itself, labeling the system "memocracy." The discussion remains open, with irreconcilable views on the utility of voting versus abstention.



Is abstention a form of rebellion or surrender disguised as ideological purity? The answer depends on whether one believes the system can be reformed from within or if legitimacy must be denied entirely.
