Hi folks! Well, I wonder if corruption can ever be eliminated. If people can live with social equality, justice and happiness. Where money is not swindled..where people are not deprieved of their right to live..Politicians create mayhem. force religious, racist divide. do not mind to politically divide the country.. Is there way can we do without them and still run the country with efficiency.. Feel free to criticize or support this discussion.. Thank you

I think based on the constitution these days, sad to say we cannot run a country without politicians. How can we communicate and transact with other countries if there are no authorizations, who would decide this and that. The best thing that we can do is to choose properly, vote wisely.

Because we love democracy, we have to accept the scroundrels called politicians. Nowhere in the world most politicians have a decent behaviour, good name and their presence is not felt.

Let us not resign to the situation..What I am trying to ask anyone is that while continuing in the democratic set up, can we evolve a better system whereby our politicians are more answerable and accountable to the people of the country.. such as compulsory graduation for all contesting politicians, vigilance over their modus operandi, declaration of their assets and other curbs which do not allow them to be disloyal to people.. Are these measures going to hold water or do they misfire? What could be the best means to make them work? or Can we altogether do without them?? Employ bureaucracy or anything else. Whatever we do, we want everything under the ambit of democracy.. Please feel free to air your views, debate, disagree, repudiate or else.. I just wanna know how people feel about it? Let this be any society... Thanks.
