Breakdown of institutions

What is most disconcerting is that in such adverse situations, the elected political representatives' public speeches fall short of expectation. The format, style and content have not changed. How such fossilised minds can render efficient public service?

We seem to be stuck with outmoded political styles, we, the voters are directly responsible for this state of affairs, as we do not exercise our choices rightly. Then the top leaders cannot control their field staff. Money speaks louder than speeches, and money does not need PA (public-address or loudspeaker) system to carry the messages! We are the noise makers, and the dreamers of dreams.

The election laws have to be modernised to deal with modern malpractice. India has set a good example with some basic reforms (press reports). We talk too much and the communication gap increases, instead of decreasing! We are either original or dumb in a noisy way!
