Revolution Through Coalition Government ?
==========
German Federal elections ended Sunday
evening at 6 pm ( German time )
Approx 30
seconds later , the large TV screen in the headquarters of Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Party showed a graph ( bar charts
) which gave following “ Exit Poll “ for
the votes polled :
CDU / CCU………………………..……………….. 34.7
% ( 246 seats )
Social Democratic Party…………………….. 21.6
% ( 153 seats )
AFD………………………………………………………13,3
% ( 94 seats )
FDP …………………………………………………….
11.3% ( 80 seats )
Greens………………………………………………….. 9.4
% ( 67 seats )
Die Link………………………………………………….
9.7 % ( 69 seats )
Others……………………………………………………
5.1 %
As in past , it is expected that Angela
Merkel will form a Coalition Government
with support of either SDP or ( should it decide to sit in the opposition )
with support of several smaller parties , distributing among the partners ,
Ministerial Births , in proportion to their
relative strengths
COALITION is the WAY , in which she has managed , not only
to stay in power for the last 12 years ( and the next 4 ) but also introduced REFORMS which made GERMAN ECONOMY the flag-bearer of prosperity for the
rest of the Europe
But, for her, this “ CONVENTIONAL COALITION “, requires tough
/ tenuous bargaining !
If German Constitution were to mandate
a “ CONSTITUTIONAL COALITION
“ where ALL
parties AUTOMATICALLY get Ministerial Births in proportion to the
number of seats won , then she would have no headache !
That ( CONSTITUTIONAL
COALITION ) is what we in India
need !
Of course , that would require amending
our Constitution , which would never happen in normal circumstances
But , it could easily happen if the
circumstances were ABNORMAL !
For example :
In current Lok Sabha , BJP
has 282 seats ( 52 % of the total ) – a simple majority
Now , as planned by Amitbhai Shah , if in 2019 elections , BJP wins 355
seats ( 67 % - an absolute
majority ) , that would indeed , be an ABNORMAL
circumstance !
If , at that time , BJP was to propose a Government of Proportional
Representation , no other party would object ( - having been either
rendered irrelevant or been decimated ! )
Each of those “ losing parties “ would
stand to get SOME minister-ships , and get a chance to influence the DECISION – MAKING , from within the government , instead
of just shouting slogans in the Lok Sabha !
A proposal of this nature , coming from
the VICTORIOUS BJP ( which would have little NEED for
support from any party ) would be nothing less than REVOLUTIONARY !
It would , be a concrete demonstration
on part of BJP , of its core belief of :
Sabka Saath , Sabka Vikas
( Progress through Partnership )
No political party will even dare to
oppose such a “ MAGNANIMOUS GESTURE
“ of BJP !
And this gesture will ensure that ,
in 2024 general elections , BJP returns with an overwhelming majority !
I am sure , such a “ psychological
opportunity of a life time “ , would not escape the cold
calculations of Shri Modi !
For details of the proposal – and how it
will change the face of GOVERNANCE ,
