Election in Demo(n)cracy

Selection through election, bane or boon?

The Lok Sabha election for the 15th after Independence is round the corner. Parties innumerable, candidates unnumberable are vying with each other to be seated in Parliament. Well, coming to the question - elections bane or boon. They are boon to the parties and candidates and bane to the people.
Boon in the sense, simply they mint money and stash it into Swiss Bank. Bane to the citizens as they are again cheated with tall promises as bringing heaven to the earth. Why in India so many parties - one in each street. In US there are two parties. Does not the Government run there. That apart they are much much developed. India is ruining due to n-number of parties and candidates only with the aim of becoming rich. That is the politics that is being hapenning in our demoncracy, {sorry for the 'n' that crept inadvertantly between 'demo' and 'cracy'} so-called democracy.
Politics is business in India. No politician is an exception. Even if any he/she would go into oblivion and that person would be branded not fit for politics. Many, many politicians have garnered wealth for 10 or more generations and still amassing and as in olden dynasty rule nurture their wards into politics to become Chief Minister/Prime Minister after them. Where is democracy. As said it is really not for the people, but 'far' the people, not of the people but 'off' the people and not by the people but to 'buy' the people. Poor people they do not know the tactic of topple the incorrigible politicians. Hey ho to demoncracy, sorry again democracy. God save common man.
