Spot on! You have put the point across beautifully! Our entire political system needs to be cleaned up. A presidential form of government with a proportinal representation system for the political parties could drastically cut down the bargaining power of unscrupolous politicians running regional and parochial outfits. Remember how a non entitiy & utterrly corrupt Deve Gowda was elevated to the PM's position. Then of course Chandrashekhar, IK Gujaral, etc with no all India appeal also managed to become PMs! And of course this spineless puppet Manmohan who cant even sack ministers like TR Baalu, Ramadoss or Soren! BAH!
