There was a time when a group of young technocrats and entrepreneurs got together and formed a political party..In India political parties are not limited to 2..I wouldve voted for them..but the party broke-off and somehow didn't fly. Even in India the overall voter turn out is barely 50%..and interestingly there was a suggestion by a govt committee to have an option of "No vote" in the ballot paper. And as per the recommendation if the "No Vote" won a majority then the election was void and they had find new candidates..of course an election is a costly affair and there would be major push back on reelections from many corners. I hope one day there will be someone/party dynamic enough to break the nexus between the politicians and big businesses...
