Its the fault of the electorate
by Sam on Jul 16, 2008 01:15 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Election of people like Govinda speaks volumes about the quality of electorates we have in our country. A vast majority of them are frreloaders who contribute nothing of value to the country but diligently vote for people like Govinda. This ensures we get third rate governance and the country is run by jokers.

We should seriously consider allowing only the tax-payers to vote in national elections and the rest should vote only in state elections. The freeloaders actually decide our destiny in this country which does not happens anywhere in the world.

Taxpayers only for Parliament Votes: is a novel concept
On deeper consideration, it would work out like the ration card idea, where 12% of the population do not have addresses and are not eligble for voting leave alone rations.
You would be blanking out 90% (guesstimate) of the population, which is a bit too much.

Sounds good though. As good as an all out nuclear war with China and Pakistan to solve our population problem

Yes, Govinda, Jaya Bhachan, Jayaprada, Hemamalini etc are not people oriented.
Elect people like Brinda, Sushma, Renuka who fight for people and also natural leaders.
