Good Morning, PVR

May I ask you to reconsider your assertion, "Since ... the political parties will be officially banned from election campaigns ... "?

You and I agree partisanship is a normal human condition. As you said, "... it is the natural tendency of people with the same views to group together." That's why it would be a serious mistake to ban political parties (I understand your reference was to banning them from the legislature, but such attitudes transcend physical limits.)

The issue is not the banning of parties but learning to counter their mindlessness. If we are to improve our society, we must learn to harness human nature, not deny it.

I'm in a quandary about how to respond to the parts of your post that outline your expectations after the initial success of your proposal (that we both anticipate). I fear you seriously underestimate the power parties and vested interests will wield to influence the public, as soon as they feel their dominant position is threatened. However, views concerning what will transpire after the (anticipated, but not proven) initial success are speculative. There may be value in examining them, but the risk of diverting attention from your basic premise is too great to justify doing so.

Our primary goal must be implementation of your basic premise, as quickly as possible.
