A bit unrealistic

I kept my eyes on the online voting of a well-known Bangla daily for the last many years. Most of the voting topics pertain to the existing political problems of Bangladesh. And obviously if we give explanation on any current political problem, we have to mention the name of two major political parties-- the BNP and the Awami League. Since this is the yes/no voting system, in most of the cases, if we vote for yes it goes for one of them and if we vote for no it goes for the other. Perhaps everybody in Bangladesh has observed that the results of the censuses go in favour of the Awami League and against the BNP. Don't think I'm a blind BNP supporter .

There was a census on the strike at Dhaka University. I am hurt and extremely shocked to learn from the census that my dear Sonar Bangla is the land of people of whom nineteen percent still support the strike to ruin the Oxford of the East.
