Indian Goverment
by rakesh bhat on May 03, 2007 09:31 AM

I my 32years of age i have Never Voted.....
Is there a way out? Parliamentary democracy is too entrenched in India, and cannot be altered easily. In fact, there is no need to alter democracy's basic structure. Let single-member territorial constituencies continue to elect members to the legislatures and Parliament. But we should consider the idea of electing the chief ministers and the prime minister for a fixed term, in a one-person-one-vote direct election. Let the chief ministers and the prime minister choose one half of their ministers from members of the legislatures or Parliament and the other half from outside. To prevent dictatorial tendencies, let us throw in a two-term limit for the chief minister and prime minister.

I know I am thinking out of the box. That is because my prime concern is how to rescue governance from the chaos created by our political parties.
