1) allow freedom to buy and sell votes
With insurance of free gun laws. Mind you both are freedoms. Random shootouts are so small in number that only a fool will take insurance againt it if offered by any company
2)Random pick of candidates by computer system as suggested by some in articles in Mises website. I feel it should have insurance of free gun laws.

Gun industry is an excellent recession proof industry serving need for self defense. Also free gun laws is right to revolution (as stated by USA declaration of Independence if the goverment errs too much

India has been a backward march even leading to relative disenfranchisemnt

Consider example of Bangalore in 2014 –
Bangalore city and Bruhat (areas surrounding Bangalore which are newly developed) Bangalore has 28 MLA seats. Bangalore and Bruhat Bangalore has one crore population.
Karnataka has six crore population.
Karnataka legislature assembly has 224 seats.
Population per seat in Bangalore = 357,143
Population per seat in Karnataka apart from bangalore
=( 6-1) crores/ (224-28) = 255102
Disenfranchisement ratio of Urban Voter = 255102/347143 = 0.73. If other urban centres are taken into account in Bangalore, the ratio is expected to fall further. If Ratio is equal to one, there is no disenfranchisement at all.
[Disenfranchisement ratio = Per seat population of Karnataka apart from Bangalore divided by Per seat Population of Bangalore]
The system has not been able to correct itself, hence it has subverted itself. Why did emancipation take place? Political parties, state has emancipated themselves from democracy by the vehicle of reservation policy.That is because stable VOTE BANKS are formed. India was never a democracy – it was Ochlocracy[mob rule] where by definition individual rights are murdered. Socialism, unlike voluntary charity, introduced into constitution during emergency [with BJP/RSS in jail] is by definition legal robbery.
Other fact supporting my claim that India is an Ochlocracy and not a democracy
a)Where else in the world is INDIVIDUAL right of movement murdered as in India – Bandhs are routine in India. Governments which are in power were openly declaring bundh [now they do it tacitly]. Also there is Gherao – where a mob “captures” an INDIVIDUAL. Pious directions notwithstanding, HAS SUPREME COURT OR ELECTION COMMISSION BANNED THESE PARTIES FROM contesting – truth is then ALL parties will be banned!
b)India has not ratified[made into laws] the 1988 resolution of UN against torture sharing the space with countries such as Notrh Korea and Sudan.
