I just wanted to see what people here though. This is hypothetical so lets imagine we have absentee ballot etc so a lot of us here can vote.

No difference. As you may have noticed, the BJP despite making noices for the sake of opposition, have not said a word about the Jan LokPal Bill. They have no interest in Anna's Bill either considering what they have done in Karnataka and what is at stake still there.

My vote would be Nitish as PM backed by BJP.

Monarchy sickens me. Coddling of match-fixers just about sealed it for me.

I will vote for BJP. I will also dream of a non-coalition government. Coalition govt sucks!

This is a democracy of false alternatives. In fact, the more I think of it, the more I see what Meghnad Desai has been suggesting (I believe cheekily): that BJP and Cong could leave aside their petty differences (not much) and form a coalition. But that would be asking too much honesty from our politicos. It might happen if regional parties leave NDA & UPA to form a grand coalition and push the two GOPs [ ;-) ] close to each other. Not that I have any love for either. All it will do is to starkly put the reality of democracy across to all Indians.

The system has to go. If it doesn't happen from above (great hopes!!!) , I hope it happens from below, in my lifetime.

Both BJP & Cong are two sides of the same coin. The reason why both are muted is that the nation demands a system that will not only end Cong feudalism, but also BJP feudalism as well... both want power to hob-nob with big business so that they can sell the country (or what is left of it) piecemeal to the highest bidder.
