The whole thing is a farce. Our politicians will never okay any reforms that clean up their Aegen's stables, which is all bull shit. What is required is a comprehensive anti defection law without any loop whole like the one third of the strength of the party forming a split and so on. The law shall be a simple strightforward thing, that any member quitting any party shall resign his seat and he shall also be not permitted to contest the bielection caused by his resignation. This is necessary because today no politician wins on his personal charisma, but rides only on the money power provided by his party. If this is done there will be no horsetrading. By common logic this can also be extended to all parties that form coalition Governments. If any group or party gives consent to support a combine to form the Government, with or without the power and pelf that go with such support, they should resign from the house and contest the elections on a independent platform campaigning against the combine with whom they formed the Government. If this is done you will find that no gang can black mail the Prime Minister that if the Goverment does not agree to their proposal they will opt out of their support to the Goverment.
Also the power of imposing Presidents Rule should be taken out from the dirty hands of politicians and it has to be governed by a Collegium consisting of CJ of SC the Vice President, and three or four CJs of high courts. If this is done, by the time the collegium decides on imposing the President's Rule the term of the Government would have already lapsed, just like the present case where the judicial processhas taken all the time till the UP election fell due and now the Indain national Party, which is neither Indian nor national wants to impose the President Rule in the UP after supporting Mulla Singh Yadav all along during the tenure of the Government in return for the Damajwadi Party's support at Delhi.
