Okay, let me explain this as simply as possible. I’ll clear up all your doubts and put your mind at ease. I’ll part the clouds with my own hands.
I’ve read so many posts lately saying, “How on earth am I supposed to vote in the election?!?!” that I realized this: for those who have still decided to take part, we need a very rational and very simple plan.
I have one, and it’s called the “550-Ruble Strategy.”
Just vote with your money.
Don’t think about who to give your vote to. Think about who to give your 550 rubles to. Or whether to give them at all.
The parties taking part in the election want your votes as votes, of course—but even more, they want your votes in the form of money.
By law, for every vote received in the election, a party that clears the 3% threshold gets 110 rubles per year from the state budget. That amount keeps going up, but right now it is 110 rubles.
The State Duma (the lower house of Russia’s parliament) is elected for five years, so your vote will bring your party 110 rubles × 5 years = 550 rubles.
There’s no changing that now. If you vote this coming Sunday, you’re guaranteeing your party a tiny trickle of money for five years. And many tiny trickles add up to wide, rushing rivers of cash.
Honestly, I was a little shocked myself when I saw the calculation of how much money the parties that got 3% or more have received since the last election.
Just wow, right? Do you feel the power of your vote now? Somewhere in these bars are your money too, if you voted in 2011.
So, watch this short video—there are three steps in it to making the right decision about how to vote in the election.
