As our political landscape changes from the one between centre-left and left parties to right-wing and left-wing, I wonder whether we need to have a system similar to the US without their presidential democracy. Maybe, we need the NDA and UPA having primaries first before contesting against each other.
With each day passing, crony capitalism (or sophisticated corruption of the highest order) is becoming murkier. We at least need people to get a chance to vote based on country's economy rather than ideology or at least need to give them a chance to vote where communal polarization is irrelevant so that they can choose candidates based on other competencies.
Then again, the candidates need to raise the money twice but I guess that could be circumvented by having only one campaign and back to back primary and main elections.
