Try out the Alternatives..!!!
2 Party System – Eliminate the ill-effects of Weak Coalition
But Downplays alternate views
Direct Democracy – Take the public Opinion; Regulated Enforcement
-Leverage Internet for increased participation; Involve common society for policy making
Policymaking becomes transparent
Influential voting; misuse of rights
Be Flexible – Flexi-Governance
-President / Public has the right to veto a decision and change the law
Can be exploited if not regulated
Meritocracy – Merit based Selection
Candidates appear for a competitive exam; Selection on merit
-British used in India
Unclear definition of Merit as everyone has different capabilities
