Continuing dynasty rule?

History's verdict has been: the Muslim League, which played a prominent part in the creation of Pakistan during the middle of the last century, has faded out, having completed its assignment. In Bangladesh, how long will AL and BNP last, plus the dynasty rules?

Politicians play games in closed stadiums. Why the voters vote? How the politician-voter feedback system works in Dhaka? No bibliography! Who cares? In this ICT age, political communication has become a one-way system, not both ways. From where the sustenance comes? Imposed "democracy"?

The times have changed, and the rate of change in this new millennium is very fast; hence old mantras cannot be applied indiscriminately. The struggling electorate cannot keep pace with the new games introduced by the politicians (in the third world). Political dogmas are not immortal, nor inventive 'Economica'. Religion is making a come back, through default culture.

The vacuum has to be filled in, first through stop-gap arrangements, then stabilize a proven system with deeper roots. But dedication, patience, and tolerance are lacking. There is nothing known as Fast Political Packs, like fast food. self-service, or service to the masses? The goals and objectves are distorted through hidden agendas.

These political experiments do not benefit the masses during the transition period. The greatest loss is the time factor. Non-transparent political culture delays public development. Non-political leaders in the society cannot exert mediating influence, as they cannot remain neutral. They can, but that means missing the boat or band-wagon. These days, the spirit of sacrifice has evaporated! Who suffer for moral principles these days?

Bad culture percolates down faster than juices going up (against gravity) from the roots. Time is a healer, and a solvent of intricate problems, especially man-made. Materialist ambitions kick a person upwards; there is not time for caressing the people with the palm of the hand.

Political priorities are warped and non-transparent. It is up to national debates to demarcate the boundary conditions for dynasty rule in developing societies. Discipline is at an all-time low, and terrorism and religion have entered local and international politics. The rules of the game (political) have changed in the background. Formal recognition of this change is a separate, but vital issue (keeping up with the changing times).

The basic issue is basically simple: which comes first: the survival of the nation, or the party? The party is a tool or methodology, and any party has the democratic right to deliver some of the services. Then why this unberable intolerance? Is it a sign of strength or weakness?
