I agree about the good governance post - government officials just need to do what is expected of them :) | ||

| Deepan April 25, 2004 02:10 PM PDT Ranjan: India is not the US and never shall be one. and thank God for that! We are such a diverse nation with so many cultures intermingling together to form one country. I don't think a 2 party system would satisfy the needs and aspirations of the whole country. Which is why they have local regional parties who are more in touch with the ground realities and are able to campaign more effectively for them. It is not my case that the multi-party system is without its negatives, but then as Simon said we have this system and lets work with it. | ||

| Alka April 22, 2004 02:12 AM PDT Presidential system of government has its own shortcomings. After the 1st WW, the President could not make America a member of 'League of Nations' which was its own baby. Because the public elected president from one party and in senate the majority was enjoyed by another party. If this happens in India, you can imagine the nightmare.... | ||

| S Simon April 21, 2004 02:14 AM PDT Ranjan, frankly what we need is good governance, as I was discussing with deepan only just now... at the end of the day any system is as good as its application... | ||
