Yawn! Another power struggle, and this time we do not mean the usual travails of Bangaloreans (or are they Bengaluruans now?) over the lack of electricity supply and the glut of outages. No, we mean that another bunch of grubby power-grubbers usually referred to as Indian politicians have decided they want the run the Government.
So, out with the old, in with the new, or kind of new, because it’s the same old, except the partners change. Actually, such Government are probably way more unstable than Britney Spears at a swayamvar.
So, the problem is that while coalitions go very well with corruption, they rarely make for coordination or cooperation.
So, how do you resolve this issue as Government rise and fall with the sort of alacrity politicians rarely exhibit when it comes to actually governing?
Here’s the official Jaalmag.com solution.
First, forget all that trash about a party or coalition actually having a majority in the Lower House. Just because you have a fractured mandate, you don’t let a group get in that’ll break anyone’s legs to hang on to power.
Instead, let the Governor [if there is a Governor who’s still in place and no out in disgrace (hey, that rhymed!)] simply invite the single largest party, but not the party comprising the largest, or even a fairly large former Prime Minister who fell asleep during Cabinet meetings, to form the Government. It’s fine if that party only has 45 elected members.
Let them form the Government for exactly 45 days and rule blissfully. That solves two problem: No time-consuming no confidence motion, and no time-consuming efforts by the new Government to actually try and make new policy because all the members who will become Ministers (45 is a fairly tiny Council of Ministers in India) will be far too busy attending functions congratulating them on becoming Ministers before they even realize their 45 days are up.
After 45 days, invite the next largest party to take over using the same formula. Number of days government = Number of MLAs.
Let that process continue till you reach the single-member Independents; they can all form their Governments for one day each.
That makes for another overall positive. Each MLA will be so busy looking forward to becoming a Chief Minister or Minister, they won’t have too much time doling out favours or accepting bribes. After all, they’ll be all former Ministers too who will be invited to attend ceremonies, since, in India, even former Ministers for Cow Faeces Control or Maintenance of Ulterior Objectives will always be in demand.
No, we know that we are doing a great public service in putting out this revolutionary model for governances in India, but since we are modest we won’t ask for too much in return, just regular transfer from the Swiss bank accounts or from offshore islands that are currently in vogue to our bank.
Also, this will mean there will be continuity in policy since the Government can be run by those who have actually been doing so for decades without any accountability – the bureaucrats.
