I dont understand every party in opposition is trying to block every development project by the ruling party. Let the elected MP's decide on the merit of each policy and vote independantly. Most developed countried all over the world have this system. Politicians whether ruling or opposition can vote independantly without towing party lines. Nuclear energy is required for a power hungry India. Have you visited villages where having electricity for a few hours a day is considered a boon. The left idiots are against every development work. They work for the interests of China and are anti-India. Not surprising since they called our nethaji a Dog and supported China during the Indo-Sino War of 1962. Hope people will teach the leftists a lesson and throw them out once for all. Our friends in Bengal and Kerala wake up to the occasion and show you care for India.

The meaning of opposition is to oppose every damn decision the ruling party has made.

Imran, You were sadly misunderstood! What I mean was, opposition has failed to understand its true meaning and role.

Natesh, One of our problems is the structure of our government and the constitution.
Dr. Ambedkar, God Bless that man, wrote the Indian constitution with the British contitution infront of him.
This form of government works fine in a small country with a small population. But for a country as big a ours and as diverse as ours, I believe the American model or Presidential Democracy is more suitable than Parliamentary Democracy.
We should have 3 co-equal branches of government, - Executive (President and his Cabinet) - Legislative (Congress and Senate) - Judiciary (Supreme Court)
Our current system is a reflection of the British system with the Queen replaced by the President with virtually no powers.
I believe the Presidential system of democracy is suitable for our nation. There will be appropriate representation in the legislative Body with representatives coming from all sections of the country.
But the bottom line is, for every government to be effective and efficient, we need an informed and involved electorate.

The level of reforms you're talking about is very low. ONLY political reforms dont get us anywhere. And there is not much difference between the USA and our govt systems. Even the US has multi party systems and only two major ones are in the lime light. But the US has a very strict law enforcement. The police cannot be influenced the way it can be done in India. Probably we need a stricter judiciary and lesser democracy, as maybe we're not enough deserving. We need more law enforcing agencies so that common man is law fearing.
