STATE OF INDIAN PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY
Democracy
means “By the people, of the people and for the people”. This means only a
political party which gets atleast 50% of the votes polled / win 50% seats should
form the government.
However,
the Election Commission on the contrary allows every possible manipulation
which promotes horse trading, corruption etc. etc.
Following
table describes the state of the Indian Parliamentary Democracy. Only top two
political parties have been sampled for ease of understanding.

It
is in the last election that the ruling party won more than 50% seats and has
formed the government but with only 31.0% votes.
FLAWED
election system forces parties to try every possible permutation of forming
Govt. and this defeats definition of true democracy.
Election
commission must
put ban on POST POLL COALITIONS. Pre Poll Coalition must be taken as same
philosophy & hence common election symbol and official MERGER. This
practice will put an end to the exploitation and blackmailing tactics of those
who practice community based vote bank politics.
Election
Commission mustn't give license to usurp NATIONAL RESOURCES by allowing
coalition. “COALITION DHARMA” in reality is legalizing corruption that leads to
SCAMS. Democracy made to bleed.
In
case no political party is able to win atleast 50 seats, then Election
Commission MUST invite only top two political parties to go to polls again for
the sake of respecting Democracy in true sense. The same procedure must be
followed in any re-poll to avoid possibility of hung parliament / assembly. This
will eliminate opportunistic politicians (small players who only know
exploitation). This will also put an end to mushrooming of number of parties
just before the elections. Valuable resource must be saved.
How
can Election Commission allow any party to form government with less than 50%
seats in the name of democracy?
In
the present scenario only Election Commission can restore ETHICS and ensure to
an extent corruption free Politics. All political parties must introspect and
come forward for the sake of true democracy.
100% agreed.
ReplyDeleteThe coalition must be done before the elections.
A great solution with one flaw. Election will have to be done twice, meaning resource wastage will be twice.
