Voltaire and Camus are voting for.....

At the end of the book Candide there was an emphasis on cultivating your garden. I took this message as each individual should live their own lives and working to improve themselves. So I think that Voltaire would vote for the Libertarian Party. The Libertarian Party has a platform based on individual rights as they state on their website.

"We, the members of the Libertarian Party, challenge the cult of the omnipotent state and defend the rights of the individual."

"We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose."

They go on to state things like people should have the right to marry who they want, abortion should be a choice and that education and health care should be provided by the free market. Their stance overall to me is that the government shouldn't be involved and everyone should be free to go about their business.

As for Camus I'm not sure if he would find meaning in voting. I think he might vote if somehow he felt inner meaning in voting or felt it was important to some life mission, if he felt he did have a life's mission.
