A better system of election

Date: 14-Mar-2012


Background:

"It is a well known creature we all know in India, which comes out of hibernation every 5 years and can show properties of a water leech and a beggar with a high probability on its appearance. This creature is popularly known as a Politician. It is a powerful creature which constantly needs the support of others to thrive (basically displays the properties of a parasite).

I have been pondering what is enormously wrong with our current system of electing and nominating these creatures (We usually settle down for the lesser evil ones. Nonetheless they are evil.) With a lot of thought involved, I concluded that these creatures are basically social hackers who come out with a strategy to break the basic intention for a good system and executive body in one way or the other.

How can they be prohibited from doing this? To answer this, the sources of their power needs to be found out - money from industries and assimiliation of similar parasitic creatures forming a group.

Now why do they need money and support? - For campaigns and and votes. Now if we carefully analyse the real reasons, the whole system of election is flawed. We donot want to elect parties for running the country. We want to elect efficient persons (individuals) with world class skills in the respective fields of works.We donot want to get involved in the dirty political campaigns. We want to genuinely figure out the right individuals for right work.

The current election system finds a large group (called a political party) of such parasitic leeches by means of public voting. We need an immediate change in this system. I am proposing a system below:

The System:

1/ Each official post required for efficient running should be enlisted and publically displayed by the election commission. It differs from a govt job post as it is an elected post.

2/ Individuals and not parties should register themselves as candidates for voting. The elections must be held throughout the year. (monthly frequency). this way we get rid of the similar groups and power display. The whole concept of a political party is flawed. It will ultimately result in our country's current internal state inevitably.

3/ A candidate can register for any number of available posts but can hold only one position at a time.

4/ No age restrictions. No language restrictions. No Caste/Creed restrictions. The minorities can be represented by their nominated persons.

.. coming up with more points as I think on it. Suggestions and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism invited.
