That is the way our politicians behave. Once they are elected, they are there to bargain, sell, barter their position. There is hardly any provision to remove them if they work against the interest of their constituency. Usage is not meant to degrade ourselves.<br /> <br />"Ruling Party" is defined by Wikipedia as:<br />"The ruling party or governing party in a parliamentary system is the political party or coalition of the majority in parliament. Within a parliamentary system"<br /> <br />So, therefore there should not be any problem in using expression "Ruling Party".Tishyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664340976512254617.post-36437218754519709842011-07-22T05:27:13.781+05:302011-07-22T05:27:13.781+05:30I feel very strongly against certain terms used by...I feel very strongly against certain terms used by you "masters", "ruling" etc. We are not their servants or their subjects. They are our representatives and dependent upon our goodwill - if anything we are their masters.

But yes, I do agree that it is the political class that needs a major overhaul.Anju Sahanoreply@blogger.com
