Is it time for proportional representation in India

Mallikarjun Kharge attends swearing-in, but most Opposition leaders give it a miss
  • Representation of diverse viewpoints: Proportional representation can ensure that the spectrum of political ideologies and regional interests are accurately reflected in the legislature.
  • Encouraging multi-party system: Proportional representation can promote the growth of smaller parties and encourage a more diverse political landscape.
  • Enhancing legitimacy: It can lead to more inclusive governance by giving a voice to minority groups and reducing the chances of majoritarian rule.
  • Effective checks and balances: Proportional representation can lead to greater collaboration and consensus-building among different parties, potentially resulting in better policy-making.
However, implementing proportional representation in India would also require careful consideration of its potential challenges, such as ensuring stable governments, preventing fragmentation, and maintaining accountability to constituents.
