Fractured mandate, split verdict, hung parliament, post poll alliance among the parties with different ideologies, horse trading, corruption, strong bargaining, appeasement policy, threatening to withdraw support, another poll before expire of full term, etc. are not in the true spirit of democracy.
Urgently we require the following to lead the nation in the path of progress and prosperity:
1. Implement Two party system, both in Centre and State.
2. Stop the defeated Lok Sabha MPs from electing as Rajya Sabha MPs for five years.
3. Reject the court convicted criminals from contesting in elections.
4. Defection from parties means loosing MP/MLA status for five years.
5. Country's two top posts- Prime Minister and President be elected by the people instead of a leader of any political party like Sonia Gandhi.
6. Make it mandatory for every voters to cast vote (Voter I Card is not only meant for address proof but also offers a right to elect our best representative to govern the State or Centre).

We Should have a system where we can cast either a negative vote or a positive vote. Suppose out of 5 candidates contesting election if we dont like any of them then instead of casting vote in favour or not voting, we can cast a negative vote. Thereby we can increase the % of ppl coming out to vote

Hi Pradeep, I agree with you on all points but disagree on casting vote should me made mandatory.
In a democratic country , Every citizen has right to accept or reject candidates. So voting cannot be made compulsary
