[Goanet] IN GOA THE BJP MUST SINK ALONG WITH THE CASINOS From: Frederick FN Noronha
There are very sound reasons why nobody BUT the "same old crooks" could get elected given the system we have in place. Its roots are solidly colonial and made to serve the interests of seventeenth century British mercantile capitalism in large measure. Don't blame the voter for that. Where we can blame the citizen is for buying into the illusion that marking one 'x' mark (or pressing one button) once every five years, with no controls or checks-and-balances whatsoever in between, amounts to 'democracy'. GL responds: How many of the regular writers on Goanet are ACTIVE CARD CARRYING members of Goa's political party?How many writers on Goanet non-resident of Goa are members of political party where they reside?Please reply with how frequently does one attend the party meetings? I am a member of the Republican Party in the USA. Rarely attend its local meetings.This year working hard (telephone banks) to make history and elect Hillary Clinton; just like I did for Obama. Thanks. Regards, GL
