Should India switch to presidential system? : A very relevant message board topic on MSN India:
Yes, Why we should have a presidential system in India
- Elections in India are pretty expensive and people make use of money and muscle both to win the elections.
- No one can change the coalition game now, no party has the clear cut majority and hence such elections don’t make any sense any more.
- India is getting highly divided based on caste, parties, languages. And we need one person, one identity and one leader who can tie us all together and to think beyond regional politics.
Yeah, But why we can’t have the presidential system in India
- Many politicians who have crossed the retiring age or rather have reached their death beds are still waiting for this title. They would never give chance to young blood. A president who is also an ICU candidate is definitely not an ideal leader.
- India is actually United States Of India with dozens of states, languages, regional issues and their individual parties and politicians exploiting the miseries. I am not sure if any party would be able to pose their presidential candidates without any internal Mahabharat.
