Political Reforms

May I expect? Series..............

2- Political Reforms (involving election reforms)

Why has the word politician become the most undesirable but most sought after?

We know the reason so let's work to erase 'the most undesirable' part.

First of all we are to ensure that no crude stuff who is only after power with all its luxuries may join the politicians' class. So lay norms. We need not only educated, able or experienced people. Rather we need people who are passionate, committed, honest, democratic, energetic, free from personal and family responsibilities, open frame of mind, humane or 'divine' in one word.
Let such people come forward. Train them.  Fix target and let them achieve these targets. Pay them.

Let the political parties form on the basis of alternative approach to the unanimous goals of nation building only. Power grabbing can not be the basis of party formulation. Let the parties be either national or regional only. We need to ensure that promises to the voters before going to election have to be kept or it will be sufficient basis of ousting them of power.

Make voting mandatory. Vote by mobile has to be made possible. Train the voters to vote by mobile and use the money saved from the existing way of election. Make it mandatory for every body to announce his/her candidature from the constituency at least 2-3 years prior to next election. At least 51% voters' support must be there to win.

Summarily- The reforms follow the wisdom, participation and unity of the voters.
