Laravel uses accessors and mutators. Since you pass your information to the view you will be able to access it. In your case you can do this in your view:
$question->upVotes;
$question->downVotes;
Well you get the idea.
Make sure to read the documentation before you continue

Also, it's very common to use the compact function in your controller to pass data to your views
public function show($id)
{
$question = Questions::find($id)->first();
$question->addclick();
// This will do the same thing as $data['question'], but then more readable
return View::make( 'questions.show', compact('question'));
}
