DANCE OF DEMOCRACY

Democracy in INDIA is about rule by Minority

• less than 50% vote
• of this multiparty party system ensures, of that 50% ,one who has secured maojority rules .
• IN multiparty system , percentage of votes polled by th candidate may not be even 20% of electorate .
• Yet he assumes power .
• Lets see an example
• a city has population of  20 lakhs
• four candidates compete
• 45% vote
• ie only 9 lakhs vote
• Candidate A gets 4 lakhs vote
• candidate B gets 4.5 lakhs
• C gets 30000
• rest by D
• B is elected .
• B actually has backing of only 20%
• What about other 20% , cant they have any representation of their needs ,
• NO , we do not have anything of that
• Though B has won only by a 2 % margin , an equivalent size of electoral votes is of no importance atleast for next 5 years
• A having gained such a sizeable backing is not considered
• HAD there been no D , then perhaps A would have got more lead than B
• This is of no significance in our dance .
• HAd there been a E then perhaps B would have lost
• This is also not considered .
• So a election is a toss , you can win it or lose it .
• There is nothing as mandate here . its pure LUCK .
• There could as well had been an elephant with a pitcher that would declare a winner . Still the result would be as predictable .
• Consider this :
• four cities P1 P2 P3 P4 P5
• consider two Parties A and B
• in P1 ,A gets 4 LAKHS VOTES B gets 5 lakhs
• P2 – A gets  2 lakhs B gets 1 lakh
• P3   A gets  5.5 lakhs b gets 6 lakhs
• P4   A gets 4 lakhs  B gets 2 lakhs
• P5 neither A wins 1 lakh or B 0.5 lakh but  C wins .
• Total in five cities  A has won 2 seats B has won 2 seats C 1
• A has polled 16.5 lakhs votes
• B has 14.5 lakhs
• C joins B and forms GOVT .
• Look A has more votes than B and C put together  , Yet It cannot rule .
• Where is the rule of MAJORITY !!!!!
• What about sizeable 7 lakhs which has no representation of their wants needs and ideas .
• Is it not sizeable .
• That means cant we have representation  according to  votes polled . also along with the winner and loser .
• After all if every VOte has to count then it has also to be represented as well .
• WHen there is no representation , and LUCK rules the ROOST , then why not accept KINGSHIP as fate . or why go at all to VOTE in anticipation that you may find few more like minded people and perhaps make a GOVT .
• Truly when you dont have RAJYOGA , You may not win a majority also perhaps.
