yes it might be able to form the government, as both the BJP and congress are finding it difficult to rope in candidates from the regional parties and others, and with recent varun gandhi's comments about other religion and his hate speech, this is seriously denting the BJPs image so, there might be a surprise with the third front in the fray...

There is no need to woo voters actually, as the large chunk of vote bank belongs to the rural part of India, and the parties which they have formed the third front have actually perfomed well in these area, so there may be a surprise as Mr. ramdas has put it.

yes they may actually pull off a rabbit from the hat, because all are having enough experience in the political arena, and Former PM devegowda is a willy old fox who still has some tricks up his sleeve as seen in the JDS rule in karnataka, and with the support of CPM,AIADMK and Teludesam, with mayawati, may be they can upset the other two, so one should see how all this political drama unfolds in the coming days...so there is a chance of this 3rd front coming into picture.

It is highly unlikely that the third front will come to power. Even if it does, it will need the support of the BJP/NDA, as I am of the belief that the Congress/UPA would rather sit in opposition than support the third front.
In this scenario, the government would be very unstable and this will send out wrong signals to foreign investors and the rupee may fall.
Not a good scenario for the country trying to come out of the recession.

This election will be a turning point in Indian politics in which both BJP and Congress would suffer heavy loss and hence will have lesser say in formation of Central Government.
Votes of other than the hard core party followers will be divided between the National parties (BJP & Congress), the regional parties and Independents. Future of the country's politics will be decided by how various regional parties get grouped together themselves to form the government with or without support of one or the other national parties.
The outcome of such coalition will surely depend on common acceptance, initially of P.M and then the Ministers from various parties in the coalition. It will not be surprising that there will be many PMs, Deputy PMs and panel of ministers in rotation during the tenure. If it happens to be ten party coalition, we may see a new P.M and panel of Ministers in every six months.
Then we will have dozens of PMs in waiting and every MP in the coalition will be a minister in waiting. (May God save this country)

Its very difficult for third party to compete either with BJP or Congress because from decades people are voting only these two parties into power and i don't think so that scenario will change this time also.

i to agree with Vijay and all others that this 3rd front will not be able to woo voters, as there is nobody in that camp who can lead very well, there will be internal fights in the party with so many bigwigs, it is bound to have clash of ideologies among themselves and sure they will land up no where.

1. No leader of this combine has enough credentials to establish their capability to maintain the flock together and lead the same for full term of 5 years. Such a government even if formed, will remain weak due to weak bonding of idealogies.

I would request dear members to go through my article "A bitter pill for India reprieve' posted in elsewhere in this space in 5 parts. And also please see my posting on " An apolitical Federal government..."
What the country need is a government that would take care of the interests of the poor people of about 70% to 80% of the country's population, struggling for their lively hood. If any party can gain their confidence, the country will get the right government.
It came closer with Congress party and the Communist joining hands with the astute statesmanship of the elders in Communist party. It is unfortunate that the opportunity is lost due to the leadership bankruptcy, in the new generation Communists who do only lip service to poor mass.
The Congress leadership also flawed with unusual haste in severing ties with communists as keeping the coalition with them was more important and useful to the country than the option of becoming subservient to America.
Unless a major change of attitude happen in the communist's leadership, it is doubtful a cohesive and fruitful and workable coalition can happen that can take the reins and complete the term of governance of this nation. Leaving it to their ideology the country is likely to go backwards as is happening to that highly resourceful state of Kerala.

We had experiance of I K Gujaral & H D Devegouda's government.
No more words require to explain.
To run the government at centre , Nationalised party is required .
Regional parties can not run the government at central level.

Here is one more cartoon show to unveil. With all greedy politicians ready to take their bite. I don't know but there must be some way, if these buggers step back into political blackmail in the name of secularity / weaker section / caste etc etc. they must be publicly gunned down. I am sick of seeing these bastards hang on for so long and still going.
This is perhaps the destiny of Indian Voters that we have to choose between Bad and Worst (and not between Good and Best). Each one of these netas is a hardcore opportunist and will not mind changing his loyalty 100 times if it suits his/her political ambition. I wonder where we are headed as a nation......any thoughts???

People of India know what these parties are. CPM is ruling WB from last 30 years and everyone knows what progress WB achieved in these years. Deva Gowda was the PM of our country. Do anyone remember a single good decision he made during his tenure? Mayawati was an ordinary school teacher. Now she is one of the richest politicians of the country. How is she grabbed so much of wealth? One can imagine what will happen if she is made our PM. Needless to talk about Jaylalita and others. I have one request to the voters of my beloved country. The world is passing through an historical phase. India is steadily climbing the ladders of a world power. Please make your vote countable.....

My experience says that fronts like this that have no strong ideological platform and are formed purely to oppose `communal` parties. Other than creating some more nuisance, these coalitions of convenience have not contributed anything to the national politics. This is just a crowd formed on the eve of elections......
