Today our political system is held hostage by money power, muscle power and  and well as decisive forces on the basis of  caste and religion etc. This happens because we have chosen a kind of representative democracy which has first past the post at two levels when you go are vote your representative you are not  voting  necessary the candidate who is  the best but you are voting for the person that you consider less harmful from among the candidate who is less harm full  from the person from who you think have any chance to get elected.  And the persons who have any chance of getting elected  are largely on the basis of propaganda that is where the money plays a important  role.  Secondly their is great temptation on the part of the political and parties and their candidates to use decisive tactics.
