Pkl. D.goel, Afternoon, 145pm, Thursday 24th July ,2008. I am surprised that how fickle are the political affiliations of most of our Political formations in north and southern segments of Indian political scenario, today except for Marxists: of course Somnath Chatterji has to be expelled by them also,most right left and centre parties from Akalis, BJP, JD , Telegu Desam , MkM , Shiva Sena including JDU Secular had shirkers and renegades, who voted against their acknowledged party line and strict whips. Reason is that no party is in position to offer them long lease of political Patronage as those on Treasury Benches ,perhaps can offer... In any case General Elections are not too far away, ..Even if they are ousted from current Lok-Sabha they can come back soon , perhaps. Our society is mercenary and cares two hoots for moral probity.D. Goel

It is a famous saying that "people always get the leadership they deserve". Educated people like you and me dont touch politics with a barge pole. We dont even go for voting, saying "why choose one among all these rascals". The end result, we get these pathetic individuals into the Parliament. Unless people like you and me actually start entering politics, we will always find ourselves making these comments which have no effect on these guys. An option in the form of the "Bhartiya Rashtravadi Samaanta Party" has emerged, with the (yet to be proven) potential of a platform in which educated people like us can participate.
If we dont try to make the change, we will have no right to complain about it.

Voting should be made compulsory as in Australia.

I doubt if political parties have the will to make voting Compulsory. They know if all people vote, no political party will survive. It is favourable to them as long as people remain ignorant.
