What lesson the resignation of Boris give to other democracies

 “At some point, we have to conclude that enough is enough. I believe that point is now. The problem starts at the top.” This is the statement by Sajid Javed, the senior cabinet health minister who resigned. Another   senior cabinet finance minister,  Rishi Sunak said, " The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. We recognize this may be my last ministerial job, but we believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.” These s resignation s clearly reflect that ministers in Britain still believe in collectively responsible government instead of strong man politics. The cronyism and corruption along with happazrdous handling of Covid-19 pandemic were the main reasons for Boris Johnson's failure in the Conservative Party's  government. The criticism from within the party reflects that despite  being Tories there is, in comparison to their rightwing equivalents in India, some elements of internal democracy. 

Whereas  if we look at the "world's biggest democracy" which even after emerging from the colonial system and still follows colonial precedents,  we could never expect similar behaviour by, or similar criticism against, the ruling party's  "strong man".  Here, cronyism is clearly exhibited in the appointment of the Union Home Minister's son as a secretary of BCCI even as we don't think the world still needs witnesses or evidences for the terrible  handling of Covid-19 pandemic.  Instead what has been the reaction of those who are collectively responsible to the people of India? They have been hiding everything under their hats and sealing the lips of those who dare to criticize the "strong man". 

 Political satirical commentary has always surrounded  the Boris Johnson's regime but still we find that there has been no comparably vile and  vulgar display of power as  here in India to suppress dissident voices. May it be the political satires or comments on the covering of the political turmoil in the Britain, one think that is quite remarkable  is that freedom of speech and expression is well protected by Britain's government. Take example of Jonathan Pie's covering the whole melodrama of comedy and satires is considered as a part of democracy. But when things happen here in the biggest democracy the reaction of the democratic govt is quite different. We have witnessed the constant suppression of the comedians, news reporters and activists only on the name of security, integrity, defamation and blasphemy. Ugly and anti-working class and undemocratic as Britain's bourgeois parliamentary political system is , it can still provide some lessons for the even uglier and more undemocratic character of todays political system in India with its highly repressive ruling party and its gutless opposition parties . MPs in the ruling party will never dare to contest their leadership let alone the PM  on any issue; while the MPs in the opposition parties  criticise or stand  against their leaders only when they are going to betray their parties and defect  to the ruling party in search of power and pelf.
