My vote is no longer Secret

Formspring question I got:

"did you vote for the ruling party?"

My answer:

"Who did I vote for in the election? With reference to the concept of Foucauldian governmentality, inasmuch as participating in a circumscribed election which was in reality an enforced and coerced institutional non-choice, with rules that reinscribe, reproduce and reinforce the hegemonic structure of the dominant paradigm is an implicit endorsement of the ruling party in a classic example of Gramscian coercion, despite delusions of agency and choice, yes I voted for the ruling party."
