!!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 40^th % 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 3^rd 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.
