Er, I mean, not for the list, but as a guideline for Indian Electoral Reform. Please submit these to the Election Commission and I, at least, back you up (to the hilt!) in getting them implemented.
Hung parliament will be a matter of the past -- after these guidelines are implemented our parliament will be hung, drawn, quartered, trampled on with hobnailed boots, fried in boiling oil and stored underwater for 7 days.
