How can we make parliament work? A Dream of a Legend.

  In a democratic set up , the working of parliament is must. The importance of the same can be understood by the fact that this "malfunctioning " of the critical engine of governance kept teasing the greatest scientist Mahatama even moments before his sad demise.
He wanted to pose this challenge as assignment before the students . What can be an ideal solution to this woes of 125 crore indians and in particular to the departed legend. Lets start to find an answer.

I take this oppourtunity as task and propose the following solution. Any improvement upon this or a complete different solution is always welcome.

Let Parliament manifest itself in ways so that it can reach to all MPs . One such way may be virtual avtar of parliament but working in real time. For this we need to find a way to bring the proccedings of Parliament online in such a way that it is secure,real-time and  device specific. Such a device should be  alloted to MPs only and can be logged in only by MPs in their full awareness. Such a device will ensure the  presence of all MPs virtually even when they are not physically present in Parliament and can ask their question, express their concerns and raise the voice of the people they represent from their constituency itself.

Such a dual presence of Parliament in real time will solve many problems. The working of Parliament will have to be planned. Each MPs presence can be ensured.

Secondly, this virtual and dual  avatar of Parliament will solve the issue of  " angry"opposition resulting in Non Performance of Parliament. Our angry opposition can build pressure on Government by walking out of parliament and yet being  present in virtual parliament.  The working of angry MPs sitting outside the Parliament will put paramount pressure on the "moral" of any government and the government will try  to look into opposition demands very seriously.

Here the " angry and unsatisfied" opposition can repeatedly raise their voice in a more responsible manner  while performing their regular or scheduled duties. They will not only become more responsible and serious opposition but they will make the goverment more accountable.

It will be the duty of the government to bring the angry  MPs back  in the house with all due respect.

Also the number of MPs present in the house via virtual mode should not be allowed to exceed a certain percentage and each MP should be allowed a certain no of virtual session only during any session of parliament.

         

                                      It is only a try to pay tribute and homage to the Legend who made all Indians  proud of belonging to his nation.  I request all the readers to freely share their views  to improve upon this idea or you may share your own idea.
