Q#4: Assuming that collective will power has been generated, what is the practical way to usher in the partyless system?

Ans: It is simple and straight forward. In all ensuing local, state or central elections, believing in the desirability of ushering in partyless system, every voter should vote for the best among the independent candidates in fray or to the political party that supports the concept of 'partyless governance' in principle. Assuming that the concept becomes popular among the people, at a particular point of time, we can expect the best among the independent candidates or the candidate from the political party supporting the concept of 'partyless governance' to win the election in increasing number of constituencies.

Two things can aid this process. One is to create awareness among the intelligentsia about the necessity for ushering in partyless system. Secondly, the independent (or party-based but supporting the cause of 'partyless governance') candidates through their hard work and competence can demonstrate that they are people-oriented and tuned to the needs of the constituency. This will increase the credibility of the independent candidates in subsequent elections.

 

Q#3: From party-based system how do we bring about transformation to a partyless system? The political parties will not accept this.

Ans: It is true that it is no easy task to transform to a partyless system. But first there should be general agreement that it is the desirable objective. This can be compared to the situation prevailing a hundred years ago, when most people agreed that it would be in the best interest of the nation, if it was released from foreign rule. On how it was to be attained was the next question. The awareness should first be there.

The need for a truer form of democracy is now world-wide; in that respect it is an international problem. No nation can remain isolated from influences from other nations in present day world. Thus a world wide strategy is called for.
