    Nobody said this when Congress was winning non stop from '47 to' 77. And then from '80 to '99 and if that wasn't enough '04 to '14. Total of 60 years Congress rule for 78 yr old country. Why was this lengthy rein by one party not a "serious problem for the country" ? Consider Japan. Most...

    I can vote for whomever. The '77 election is probably when it began. When it comes to defense I prefer right wing. Way better at it than their leftie counterparts. And I see similar patterns in other countries. I don't have the time or bandwidth. In case you haven't noticed I follow things...

    I voted for the BJP three times. My mind was made up. Looking at congress manifesto and it seemed dated like it came from a much older era.

    You are referring to economic policies and I've already conceded that the BJPs policies are not your typical run of the mill. You are then using this as a basis to call BJP progressive. BJP opposing the nuke deal is because they were they were the ones that created the basis to have one in the...

    Isn't it obvious. Liberals or shall we say classic liberals derive their ideas from the renaissance. Progressives are partial to Marxist ideas. Progressives corrupt liberals by pulling them to the left. The term 'liberal' mean progressive in the present. Fascists do the same with...

    Progressives threaten liberals the same way facists threaten nationalists And the BJP ust considered a nationalist party and Congress as left/liberal/progressive. Don't try to screw with commonly used terms

    Read the manifestos and choose what you like. This is as close as you can get to voting on issues. That great middle class aspiration which is dwarfed by voting on the basis of identity because that works with the largest demographic But the ruling party isn't doing that. These are private...

    First past the post in former British territories. Go to a polling booth Selfishness Because of the difference in approach either party uses in reference to a given problem. BJP can't use right wing economic policies in India because they don't want to get thrown out at the next elections...

    By winning the election process See manifestos of the parties mentioned. Then decide which side of the aisle they belong. I'm using convention. You will notice points in common among left progressive parties around the world as well as right. The difference will be degree of implementation...

    Follow who is in charge if you want to understand what they are about. No need. You asked to distinguish between and I gave you clear examples

    Yes. If that is who the people choose. This tends to upset some people. Are you a democrat or not? I'd prefer the right remain in office but if not then whoever is in charge. This is why I say liking the government of the day is optional. Understanding their policies is not If they are...

    About their policies? Who else are you going to consult with otherwise. Correct isn't the point. An accurate description of what the policy is and more importantly what it is not. Then we can argue correct or not Yes, higher signal to noise ratio. Certainly how I consume news about any...

    Not surprising since I get along with the right of Canada, US, UK, France, Israel, India & Australia. As far as India, Israel or the US, right is the only side that matters. Depends on the forum. I find the extremists are not helpful. They start of sounding fine and then it goes sideways. If...

    Same as it means everywhere and not that hard to get if you follow politics Democrats, Congress - leftie (particularly their progressive beliefs which derive from Marxism) Republican, BJP - right Left typically meant the commies but they are irrelevant since over a decade

    Typical leftie behavior is controlling either by bans or censorship That would have been when they had proper right wingers either running or influential. So the right wingers got fed up and a bunch of pseudos took over Opposition posts, haters and whiners. Wrong place to be I was going to...
