Crown of Thorns... pg 22, Editorial,The Times of India, 3rd March 2014....
No Government should plan Expenditure which casts its shadow on the next Government. If any last minute decision has to be made it has to be strictly as per its Manifesto.
Also In our current parliamentary system, our representatives are elected by the principle of who reaches the post first. Thus if 5 Candidates are in the fray, each garners 20% votes and are equal winners. However, If one candidate can get 21% then he gets declared winner, even though he does not represent the 79% who have rejected him. The better way to correct this anomaly and make every vote count in parliamentary elections are to vote for the Party Manifesto. Thus if a Party gets 10% of the votes polled, he gets represented by 10% of Parliament's strength. The only criteria being all parties must have internal free and fair election. No candidate can hold the same position within the party for more than two terms.
The party must put up their list of candidates who will represent them in parliament in descending order. All elections within the party will be conducted by election commission. Once invited the ruling party should work within the manifesto only and not make rules that were not mentioned in the manifesto prior to elections. This will ensure we get our elected representatives to work for us rather than the other way round.
