Democracy and votes polled
145 MP's out of the 543 elected in the recent Loksabha elections won by polling LESS THAN 20% of the TOTAL ELECTORATE in their Constituencies. This means that either the balance 80% either voted against him or did not vote for him. And we claim that our MPs represent the majority opinion, when in fact reverse is the case. Likewise Congress which won 260 odd seats polled only 27% of the VOTES POLLED, which means that they have secured only 16% of the TOTAL VOTES in India, and they rule the country. Something is definitely wrong with our democratic set up!!!
