Dialogue

It appears that the Election Commission (EC) is engaged or at least trying to get engaged in a fruitless "dialogue" and spending months trying to talk to politicians and so-called "dozen men" political parties and wasting its time. It's just waste of time. They are all the same bunch of people who are responsible for bringing the county to this messy situation. I am sure if the EC goes on like this forever, no fruitful result will come out of it.
My opinion is that EC should abandon this fruitless exercise and go directly to "people". They should formulate their own rules (including reforms of political parties) taking examples from the UK (mother of parliamentary democracy) and India (the largest democratic country in the world), and formulate the rules for both parliamentary and local government elections. There must be democratic and elected institutions in every tier. It does not matter if they contest under the banner of a "registered" political party . They should then publish it (call it "white paper" if you like, in at least 20 popular newspapers and booklets, which should be distributed to every union for comments and national debate). The time frame for comments should be fixed. The response time should not be more than one month. All responses from the people should be compiled and the major and significant ones should be published again in the newspapers and book form for public knowledge.
The EC then will finalize the rules, get them approved by the cabinet and complete other formalities to make it a permanent law.
