Don’t shoot! Just an opinion I heard being thrown around. Though the underlying idea of supporting a cause for the good of the many comes into play, some would say this is as bad as corporate protectionism – and therefore anti-capitalist corruption. Couldn’t Bezos and Musk pay for space exploration with the money we already gave them?

It seems that a few jurisdictions have it, including India.

True! Voting is a right, and you should have the option to reject the candidates on the ballot.
What would happen if the “none of the above” option had the most votes? Would the election be repeated with new candidates?
