Holding of elections

In the proposed welfare environment, political parties, being the outcrop of an Islamic environment, are as much religious as temporal. Their major role is to send right kind of public representatives to Provincial Assemblies and the House of Parliament. No one offers himself as a candidate for the membership of the legislature. No applications are invited from individuals for the purpose. The political parties, the people of various regions and other social institutions, spot suitable persons who are known for their scholarship, piety, leadership and social services and  approach them to accept the candidature for the election, on their behalf. In case of more than one nominee for a seat elections are held on the basis of educated majority vote. The expenditure on election campaign is institutionalized. It is incurred by the  sponsoring parties and not the individuals. A candidate who cannot afford to contribute to his party’s election fund, his legitimate expenses are met by the state. No member of the defunct feudal families is permitted to contest the elections for a period of at least 21 years so that their next generation is reared in a normal social environment and gets reconciled with the new realities of life. The President of the state is elected by a direct popular vote of the entire nation in one day exercise from among the candidates of outstanding reputation, high integrity, solid scholarship, deep insight and penetrating far sight. He is an authority on national and international affairs and is capable of showing leadership of international standards. He is of matured age to become eligible for the high office. He selects a Prime Minister, the best out of the elected representatives of the House. The election procedure that is to be used to elect peoples representatives makes three crucial assumptions. One: The nation has become 100% literate. Two: Feudalism stands abolished and economic units of the land have been surrendered in favour of millions of landless families. Three: Industrialism too has been reformed and large scale redistribution of wealth has taken place and poor classes have been sufficiently leveled up.
