Regulating Political Parties

It is a desirable objective to promote the progressive polarization of political ideologies and to reduce less serious political activity. The Election Commission should progressively increase the threshold criterion for eligibility for recognition so that the proliferation of smaller parties is discouraged. There are more than 1600 political parties registered with the ECI, however, only a few ever contest elections. ECI should be authorized to de-register such parties, which do not contest elections.
