Dear Manuel,
Your post has wound me up to do what I promised to do.
Therefore, here it is.
1. Goa 'NEEDS' a Political Solution.
2. This Political Solution must be spelt out first so that it is swallowed
'bait-hook & sinker' style by the People of Goa who seem to be fed-up of
this MESS.
3. As an alternative to all existing Political Parties, Goa needs to
field
all 40 candidates who have never been elected before... aka fresh faces.
4. It does not matter if they are Saints or Devils. The Political System
which will be spelt out will not allow itself to be bent or marginalized.
Therefore, the Devils will fly into outer space leaving Saints and mostly
hypocrite Saints to be dealt with.
5. Before too long, Goa needs a massive people's MOVEMENT which can
safely
swallow their pride and come to terms that Goa requires 'political sanity'
like 'yesterday'
6. This massive MOVEMENT of the people must be like the movement we have
seen in the past on 18 December, 2006 at Azad Maidan... the GBA Movement.
7. The closest date for this MOVEMENT to take shape is 19 December, 2010
as
there is not much time left until the next elections in 2012 or earlier.
8. This MOVEMENT must have a charismatic MASCOT where the people will
leave
everything and just flock in numbers and nod their heads, a mascot that
will
remain the mascot until the end of the MOVEMENT, no matter what, and no
matter who tries to pull it down.
9.Immediately after the 19 December 2010 , there must be a full-fledged
CONVENTION of the people with invited DELEGATES et al.
10. All of Goa's political Parties must be invited for this CONVENTION to
give their PARTY PRESENTATIONS, warning them that their survival in Goan
Politics henceforth will depend on this PRESENTATION,.
11. The CONVENTION shall deliberate for one or more days (if necessary)
and
come out with its finding before the CONVENTION is closed as to which
political party in Goa it will support OR if it will go ahead and take the
job of doing the necessary by itself at the next elections with all 40
candidates.
12. If this be the case, a very very strong signal will have been sent to
the people of Goa that they can now expect a real change. That is because
one or two well meaning and self-less persons cannot clean the ROT and
there
are chances that the ROT will engulf them too. With all 40 in the fray,
chances are that there could be a chance to get absolute majority, to say
good-bye to blackmailing coalition politics which only works for itself
and
for their kin and friends.
13. Those who get elected shall be controled by this people's MOVEMENT on
the basis of the blue-prints which has been accepted by the people ---
which by-the-way will be the ' SYSTEM OF FUTURE GOVERNANCE OF GOA'. The
recalcitrants shall not only be dropped like hot potatoes but also be
shamed
and blacklisted for life.
14. The 'No Second Term' which will be enforced with an iron hand shall
see
to it that vote-bank politics will vanish in thin air for once from the
sacred Goan soil.
15. Soon after the Convention - the MOVEMENT shall identify and bring in
people who will take the lead (for once) ... who have been long time
activist for 'good-effective-governance'. These people should come forward
automatically to say 'yes, I am ready to contest' if the MOVEMENT wants
and if they do not want to be considered 'hypocrites'. The final choice of
candidates shall be made as according to the Wwell laid-down procedures of
short-listing and choosing, without hurting anyone.
16. The MOVEMENT will have to be standing on its own i.e. self- financed,
without begging and borrowing from shady mine-owners; industrialists and
business people; if it does not want to be burried a 1000 feet
underground.
17. If it is the political party that has been considered ok to be
supported
by the MOVEMENT, then its candidates must be whetted by the MOVMENT. It is
however, a forgone conclusion that most political parties will abstain
from
the CONVENTION of this MOVEMENT; not because of anything, but because
they
do not possess any sort of presentation to present. The National Parties
in
Goa are run through telephone hot-lines. And those which are not the
National Parties will not know what a presentation is all about, forget
about giving one.
18. Coming back to December 19, 2010, let the whole of Goa wear T-Shirts
and
Caps purchased from the MOVEMENT'S outlets ( for a decent/nominal amount
just a little over the cost of providing one) and flood the Panjim's Azad
Maidan and trample it like it has never before trampled upon since 1961.
Let
the people sport a 'sticker' on their vehicles which again will cost a
nominal amount to cover the printing plus a little bit left-over for the
MOVEMENT'S finances.
&
last but not the least
19. Let this MOVEMENT be the 'PPS MOVEMENT' - The MOVEMENT of the
PEOPLE of Goa FOR POLITICAL SANITY.
If this comes about, then there will be no holes left in Goa where the
Alibaba and his 40 thieves could ever hide.
THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION IS : ARE THERE ANY TAKES ???

Very true, indeed.
And that is exactly what is going to happen.
UNLESS UNLESS
There is a fool proof alternative sound and fool proof and effective
'SOLUTION' which needs to be put on the road in a jiffy.
However, I shall spell out the SOLUTION in my next post.

Truly this is a sad state of affairs and should not be allowed to succeed
any longer. I do agree with you that we in Goa too are to be blamed as we
keep on re electing the same corrupt and dishonest scoundrels into office.
It is high time that we kick them all out and elect truly trustworthy and
honest people to represent us in the legislature.
Manuel (Eddie) Tavares.
