An Ideal Democratic Government

Currently

Here I will be taking the example of the democratic structure of the Indian government but as it is similar to the government structure in many other nations. Thus a lot of common points may be covered. The structure may be briefly described as follows.

There are two houses formed in the government that form the decision making bench for all the laws and regulations and also the working procedure of the Indian government. It is citizen of the nation that selects its representatives from the two or three parties running in the election. It is only the leader of the winning party who gets to be the prime minister and to head over the various ministerial departments. A major drawback here is that the ministerial departments consist only of members from one party and even in those mostly are politicians rather than technicians or academics.

An Idea

A solution for this problem had risen in my mind and after that I have been contemplating and researching about it ever since. After developing and reframing it I propose the following solution. The first step would be to dissolve all the parties and allow only individual contestants to stand in the elections. The general public would then vote for these people and the contestant would be allowed to take part in election at any city or legislature.

From the selected group of people, there will be nominations gathered for every post in the ministry and government departments. This will increase the chances that people belonging to the same area of work or field will be able to join the ministry concerned and give his experience and expertise in it. The only condition for the nomination to be accepted is that it should be consented by at least one-fourth of the elected members in the assembly.

When all the nominations have been completed, a second general election would be then called for. In the second election, the people would get the chance to choose the person they find appropriate for the specific ministerial task. Thus a fully democratic ministry would be formed. When in the end the ministry has been completely formed, a final voting would be cast by the members of the ministry to elect the president of the nation. (The post of prime minister would be dissolved decreasing the time of approval needed to pass the law)

The Good

The major advantage that the new system will have is that it will decrease corruption and politics involved in the government due to the absence of politicians and political parties.

Every person elected in the ministry will be able and expert person for the job rather than a politician with a degree in politics or some mob leader.

Every citizen will have greater hand in the selection of the leaders in the national government. This will increase the power in the hands of the citizen and develop the power of democracy furthermore. Without the system of parties and the post of the prime minister the burden on the economy would be reduced and the money spend on political party business and advertisements would decrease.

The Bad

Well the only big problem we could face would be time consumption, as the whole process would take ample amount of time, possibly about a year. The time taken will only prove to be beneficial for the people to evaluate the representatives for the second elections.

Another problem may be that absence of parties may create problems for the house to come to a decision, but this may act as a filter as only genuine and useful decisions would be taken and would get approval.
