INDIA. In the parliamentary election in 2004, unbelievable as it may seem, some 228 political parties contested out of which 39 have representation in Parliament; many of them by just winning one seat.

Surprised? When working with numbers, you shouldn't be.

India. Population 1,139,964,932 divided by 228 parties = 49,998
Cyprus. Population 863,624 divided by 17 parties* = 50,801

* 17 parties in total (seats or no seats in parliament).

So what have you leared today Georgy? What conclusion have you reached today?


Divide the population of a country by 50,000 and this should tell you how many political parties that country has.

How come we have 15 then? :lol: :lol: :lol:


I don't know where you get that figure from. Name them, or shut up.

I say old chap, have we got out from the wrong side of the bed this morning?
How can we make a point without making a slight exaggeration, what?
:lol:


We may well have got out from the wrong side of the bed, yes. Exaggeration, huh? Anyway, what is the de-facto population of the north? The calculation may well work.


It does, 15 TCs plus 749,985 mainlanders divided by 50,000 gives you the 15 parties YBollocks alludes to, what?

Never mind the population in the north, it is what it is and it will be what it will be. I do seem to have picked up a digital stalker and am looking for a digital cure to remove this barnacle off the face of humanity and the internet with a bit of luck. I don't know what it is but I seem attract all the lunatic fringe elements in a compounding way. Any suggestions.

I am not with it today. The above might as well be in Louroujina language for all the sense it makes to me. I believe there is a Cypriot proverb that runs:

Abo ’n eharin do bornon, me ullin din imeran.

I think Cyprus has toooooo many parties. If you look at the G20 countries, well, they have 2-3 parties at the most. Success has to do with a moderate exercise of the democratic right to form a political party to promote your ideas and seek the power to implement them.

Too many political opinions degrade democracy.
