So how big is the common man’s enthusiasm for this democracy? Slide 3: Fact Of the 71.4 eligible voters only 41.7 crore bothered to vote In Fact So what If Half Of Us Do Not Vote? For Those Who Do, Please Quickly Recall The Name Of Local MP, MLA, Councillor. Slide 4: Fact Only 15. 9 crore voted For The Govt In Power The UPA In Fact Only 22% of all eligible voters “chose” this govt. That’s 1 in 4. Slide 5: Fact About 20 crore voted For NDA & Third Front combined In Fact That’s 1 in 3. So voters are more sure about whom not to vote than whom to choose. Some call this the “strength” of the biggest democracy. How can division be strength? Slide 6: Fact UPA Wins 262 seats or about 48% of Lok Sabha In Fact 3 in 4 Eligible Indians have not chosen the People Who Call Themselves Our “Government” Slide 7: Fact Congress Has 27 Cabinet Ministers Out Of 33 In fact With just 16% Of The Total Eligible Vote, Congress Has More Than 81% of Cabinet. The Highest Body In A Democracy. Slide 8: Fact Of all the people who vote less than half can recall the name of their representative. In Fact This perhaps explains our disinterest in Democracy. Slide 9: Fact We Have A Total Of 543 Seats In Our Lok Sabha In Fact That’s about 13 lac people for every MP. The biggest democracy has the fewest representatives for its people. Slide 10: Fact On An Average We Have Had Elections Every 4 Years In Fact It Would Take An MP About 2 and half years if he was to just say hello to each of these 13 lac people @ of 1 minute per person. Slide 11: Fact Yes We Are Disinterested In Politics & Politicians. In Fact How much debate or thinking on this aspect do we hear in the “Biggest Democracy In The World?” Slide 12: Fact It’s Not About UPA, NDA Or Third Front. Good Ideas Like Democracy Need Better Implementation In Fact Isn’t Our Democracy the Biggest Irony In The World? Especially When Leaders Chosen By Less Than One Third Call It “Mandate” Slide 13: comment, mail, blog, let our voices be heard PauseIndiaAndThink…. Should Voting Be Made Compulsory?
