True spirit of democracy
by pradeep ray on Jul 19, 2008 03:11 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Fractured mandate is the curse of democracy. It encourages horse trading, black mailing, hard bargaining, corruption, non-cooperation from the allies in need, etc.

Remedy:
1. Implement two party system. OR

2. Country's two top posts-PM and President should be elected by voters directly and not by the will of the leader of a political party.

Permanent ban on the court convicted leaders from contesting MP,MLA or MLC elections.

Once defeated in MLA/MP election, politicians should not be allowed to contest for next 5 years in any type of elections.

should not let the MP/mla to stand election in two place and shouldn't allow them to resign and stand election again from another party (as many mla are doing kar).

there are simple rule and everyone know better for country, but no guts to change the law/rule. it will take 50 years to come true.
