Bangladesh General Election (9th), 2008: Point based system to find better candidate

We all want good, honest and efficient leaders to be elected in the upcoming election. Voters will be provided eight information of each candidate. Point based system will help voters to understand easily who is better. It is only a proposal which can be changed and completed by rigorous discussion.

In UK, Aus, Canada there is point based system to find better immigrant for their country. Can we find a similar system to help our voters to find better election candidate?

For example, in the education category, let us provide for Under SSC 0 point, SSC 5 point, HSC 10 point, Hons 20 point, Masters 25 point, PhD 35 point.

For political career 2 points per year. For example if some one has 20 years political experience will get 40 points. 10 points will be subtracted for each party change that means if some one has changed political party for three times will get (minus) -30 points.

Same way points will be given (positive or negative) for other category of information provided by the election commission.

50 or 100 open points will be given to voters. They can give as much point as they want to each candidate for overall impression of the candidate.

This way a comparative study for all candidates for all 300 seats will be prepared for easy understanding of the voters.

One has proposed extra points for freedom fighters and profession.

SIDR Victims, National ID Card

As, we all know that there is a lack of coordination among the helping initiatives for SIDR victims. It could have been solved with the help of national ID cards. National ID cards project is going on different parts of the country but if we can give priority to prepare it in the SIDR victim area and use the list to coordinate helping initiatives then it would be great. We can reduce the chance that one person is getting help again and again and another person getting no help at all.

Next General Election of Bangladesh

Before next election all parts of society should give a target for next five years to all political parties. Like IT people should give a target that we want tax free facility to be continued, a computer center in every union of Bangladesh, cyber law must be implemented etc. These way representatives from every sector should publish target for next five years. Additionally, comparison of previous election promises and what we have got should also be published. All print and electronic media should contribute more to improve the quality of our democracy. In various ways all media should publish different comparisons.
