RE:LET THE BRITISHERS OR US PEOPLE RULE INDIA
by opinion on Jul 16, 2008 04:13 PM

Democracy is good but people who vote should be able to make decisions and correct judgement.

The voter class we have today is absolutely illeterate and influeneced by petty gains in election days. They dont know consequeuce of their voting. People who can really think and can vote are in very less minotity. We should have minimum qualification to vote. May be education upto matriculation ?.

Also before voting, in polling station election officier or NGO should explain them how its important to make correct judgement and how it will influence their locality , state,country and their lives. A person who knows and have enough information of current affairs,agendas and fundamental pricipals of political parties can make better judgement. Only such should be allowed to vote.We need are huge election reforms. Today what happens is on election day political parties distrubute 100-200 bucks, give chicken and cloths and poor man votes on election symbol he is informed and 'bribed' to do so. Also another factor is voting class does not know how to differenciate between local elections, state elections and national elections. How many people know election manifestos of party they are voting for ?. How many political parties take care to inform voters. Do our voting class educated to have long term vision of their locality, state and country ?.

There should be also limit to number of political parties. Too many parties really create mess.
