AN IDEAL GOVERNMENT

NEW GOVERNMENT TO CREATE AN IDEAL NATION

CURRENTLY

i am going to discuss the democratic structure of the indian government here but as it is simlar to many nations there may be common point covered. well the procedure for elections to the two houses of the national government is that the people of the nation select its representatives from usually two parties or sometimes three. The leader of the winning party then decides who would be the head of the various ministrial departments and thus a government of politicians is formed.

AN IDEA

i just had this idea some time ago and have been developing it since.well what if the general public selects the representatives from their places so that we know who will be the members in the government. This should be done without parties that is invidual people should be part of the election not some big parties.

When these people had been elected, they will decide nominations for every post in the ministy from among themselves and thereby increasing the chances of people involved in the same department or expertise to work in the field. the nominations should be elected by minimum of one-fourth of the members to stand a chance. when these nominations are complete, a second general election can be held to choose the ministry where general people would then vote who the ideal person for the job would be. when the ministry is finally formed a final election can be done by ministry people to elect the president of the nation.(leaving aside or dissolving the post of prime minister)

THE GOOD

Well the good this new system would do is decrease the corruption and politics from the government. The person holding ministrial post would be an able and expert person rather than some politician with degree in politics. Every person would have the right to choose the person he thinks would be right for the minstry post increasing the power in the hands of the citizen. The post of prime minister and parties would lessen the amount of time and money spend on advertisements and decision making as the president can directly order after the cabinet approval rather than the prime minister sending it to the president for approval.

THE BAD

Well the only big problem would be time consumsion, the whole process would take a year to end but maybe the time taken would only be beneficial for the people to understand and know more about the representatives before the second elections. With the absense of parties it may become difficult for the houses to come to some decision, this may act as the filter as only genuine and useful decisions would get the approval.
