!!Democracy and the Indian election process!!
Democracy:
1- A democracy is
a form of government in which the people rule, directly or through
elected representatives.
2- It is
the rule of the public, for the public by the public.
Voting:
Voting is considered a characteristic symptom of
most types of democracy. Voting is the method of decision-making or revealing the
choice of people through which a person or group presents its side. Therefore,
this is an extremely important process on which democracy remains alive.
Faulty voting process:
The Indian election process is a very defective one. It
violates the basic sentiments of democracy. It is only appropriate when there
are only two candidates or just two types of political parties. But when more than
two candidates or parties are in the election field, this process is false or
unscrupulous. This process selects the candidates who are not liked by most people. And in this way, most people have to be ruled by a person
or party acting on their unsupported ideas or principles. As if three
candidates are in the ground, the public may have to be ruled by 40% of the
voters, while the sum of divisive votes for both
the deceased candidates is 60% in any way (not more than 40th % for
one candidate). Candidates
selected in this manner will always determine 40% public favorable policy which is against the desire of most people.
Potential solutions:
1- The
number of candidates who are in the electoral fray, so many numbers should be attributed to one vote. If the voter marks only a mark (vote), then
all the numbers should go in favor of that candidate. There
are two types of arrangements possible for marking more than one mark of voter.
A- All
points are distributed equally among all candidates. Or
B- Considering
the order of marking the voter's button or marking the vote as the voter's
choice, assuming the first, second, third ... choice, the points will be
divided according to the same preference. Such
as 50% on the first choice, 30% on the second, and 20% on his 3rd
choice, etc. This vote digit division can also
be decided by the number of candidates as (1) 60-40 (2) 50-30-20
(3) 40-30-20-10 etc. Or in this method, a condition can
also be added as per the requirement that the only first three or four
preferences will be awarded.
2- Political
alliances of parties should be completely restricted after elections. It is also contrary to the original sentiments of
democracy. Political parties get compromise
with their ideology and principles to profit themselves. The majority of the people opposed to the ruling party or candidates have to be ruled by them. Because the opinion of the public is never
taken for coalition and the elected representatives
combine with the parties of conflicting ideologies to grab power.
Though this method can be problematic for implementation in
rural and backward areas where even today
elderly voters face trouble understanding the voting process. Yet it can be implemented in urban and developed areas.
In this way, we can avoid the situations like Karnataka and Maharashtra and the probability of interim elections in the country. Interim elections cause heavy
losses of wealth for the country and candidates. It also causes frustration for the
voters.
