Voter’s Dilemma

Time for electing a new Cental Government and I am yet again puzzled by the dilemma that shrouds over my puny mind during every elections. I dont want to take any names, so lets just name the two major political parties A and B. My constituency has candidates from both these parties. Party A’s candidate sounds very promising but Party B is power in the state. Here’s the dilemma, given the structure of our political system, it becomes essential that the Centre – State relationship should stay healthy. It should be too given the policies that the centre holds control over. Since party B is in power, rationally, knowing the bigger scheme of things, I should’nt be voting for party A’s candidate as party A at the centre will mean disconnect in the dialogue between the centre and the state. And thats not good. But party A’s candidate is the best person according to my judgement. How do I solve this problem?

3. I feel you should vote for the Good Candidate. Electing a good candidate is the only thing in your control. Moreover, we cannot very much be bothered over Centre-State relations because, we do not know how many days our Governments last(Centre or State). So my view is that , If more and more Good people enter Parliament, then the quality of Debate will definitely improve. And when they have to vote for or agaist many bills or many issues, I hope, they will be free to vote according to their conscience.
