Our MPs and MLAs
by definition are elected by us and empowered to rule us. However, most of
these personages are chosen (winnability), projected, supported and FUNDED by
Political Party.
The Political
parties are controlled by its leadership, coterie, dynasty or kitchen cabinet:
call it what you will. The party leadership expects these worthies to ensure
that its will prevails, by use of Strength of Numbers.
The
Party Leadership uses “whip” to keep the flock together, much like the sheep:
leave their brains and sensibilities at the door before entering the august
houses.
Only your throat is needed inside
