Intresting concept - "Don't vote for regional parties"

[Kumar]

Found an intresting arguement as for why we should not vote for regional parties :hap2:

For national interest's sake- Hindustan Times

So, What do you think?

 

[superczar]

true...and even though i personally detest the BJP, i would prefer them over a HD Devegowda or his ilk

 

[greenhorn]

as long as they find some reason to create a votebank with something in common, religion, caste, region, politicians will continue to do it , cos they will do anything it takes to win an election

 

[Yamaraj]

But a two-party system isn't a viable alternative either. Ask the Amrikans.

 

[Kumar]

Its not a 2 party or 3 party issue. Its a regional vs national parties issue. The more I think about it, the more I beguin to agree witrh the article.

Just imagine karunanidhi/jayalalitha/lalu/YSR/deve gauda etc. becoming foreign ministers!

 

[bottle]

at least jayalalitha can speak decent english

 

[Khimera]

All of them, selfish money mongers. Each and everyone to the last one in government!!!!!No point in talking about anyone there

 

[Nikhil]

Ok... so, we 100 guys on TE wont vote.

Like it makes a bloody difference.

i am not really into politics ...... but thats very wrong statement ...... politics has nothing to do with english or no english ......

 

[bottle]

that was in reference to them being foreign ministers , leaving ideals aside at least shes capable of representing us

 

[gmano]

^^^ only capability needed to represent us is knowing to talk in english?

 

[bottle]

well i said at least not that i am supporting her or anything :lol:

anyways to represent our country elsewhere i would say that its something basic thats needed

 

[Kumar]

You ppl are misinterpreting Bottle...

what he meant to say was, that out of all the ppl i mentioned, if not in other skills, jaya can speak English atleast better than the others.

 

[gmano]

^^ Sir, I am not misinterpreting. Knowing a language is not a better thing than others.

 

[Nikhil]

^^ Sir, I am not misinterpreting. Knowing a language is not a better thing than others.

It is when you are talking abt them becoming Foreign ministers

 

[Yamaraj]

Baatli loves Amma.

PS: I can't even imagine her as chief of the Ministry of External Affairs. Talk about IL-76 being deployed to carry her around.

 

[bottle]

please enough amma talk i wish i didnt post here since i look like an aidmk supporter now

Yes it is for a foreign minister, simple diplomacy can solve lot of problems but talking through a translator does not work out very well.

That was a nice article, will seriously think about it.

 

[MAGNeT]

ohh so it means foreign minister mint more money since all after it.......so i got it i should concentrate on that line...oops i 4got its all about dollars/pound.......!!!!

 

[mkhegde]

I agree,but can she speak hindi
or a first time amrikan or angrez visitor can understand her english?

I truly hope we get rid of the times when language skills determine competency
hell we need stability and we need to end the goddam corruption.........baki sab maaf
