Nigerian Leaders Take Cue From Indian Election by georgecso(m): 11:08am On May 13, 2009
For over one month or so now India has been conducting their election without any hitch. There was no record of cock fighting/ chasing each other, no movement of soldiers/troops, the Indian election system is worthy of emulation.

This Indian general marathon election was devoid of intimidation, ballot paper snatching, political thuggery, etc that characterize our naija form of democracy.

India is run by a parliament made up of two houses, (similar to the United States Congress, which comprises the Senate and the House of Representatives). These two houses are called the LOK SABHA, or "House of the People," and the RAJYA SABHA, or "Council of States." Of the two, the Lok Sabha holds more power, but the two houses work together to make the laws of the country. The parliament is located in India's capital, New Delhi.

With a billion people, the Republic of India is the world's largest democracy. With a population nearly four times that of the United States, India modeled its government on the British parliamentary system, with a healthy dose of influences from the United States and the rest of Europe
