It is high time them to think so, because very soon they too will be joining the group, "smaller party"

Having less than 5% of peoples votes means that only your family members and close friends have voted. Candidates with such low counts cannot be maintained by the public with a host of expenses including duty free vehicle permit, petrol allowances, office etc. etc. It is cheaper to provide a free 3-wheeler to members of such parties as an alternative job without being a burden to public money.

Yes, it's good to think about smaller parties. Where would JO be without smaller parties headed by WW, UG, DJ etc and very soon their own Pohottuwa! Must look after self at any cost. Running scared already.

Small parties remain small for decades because masses do not accept them or and their policies. In such a situation no point in speaking of survival. Advisable to desolve such parties and work as NGOs outside Parliement. via DM Android App
