Sorry to sound pessimistic, but you know what the fate of third parties in Goa/India is. The first past the post system makes sure they end up with less them crumbs. Does anyone remember Goa Suraj, Shashikala Kakodkar's BBGP (Babango), Goa Rajiv Congress, NCP, UGDP, and so many more others? When thrashed at the hustings this is not only terribly demoralising, but it also acts as a justification for all the misrule indulged in by the larger parties. The voters then get blamed for all that happens. You're probably better off focussing on non-electoral politics, and not getting taken in by the myth of fairness of electoral politics. FN
