One of the defining and welcomed features of the new electoral order is the plurality of choice, as in 50 political parties! This should help diffuse the cut-throat competition and do-or-die mentality in the polity. Hopefully, it should also reduce the strangle-hold of erstwhile moneybags, the menace of godfatherism and the undue influence of party hierarchs/jobbers. New days are here, indeed.
Of course the screening of candidates must be thorough, and must include means testing and certification, including anti-corruption clearance. That done, let the game begin!
My word for the gladiators: Watch ya back!
Meaning? Ask your mom.
