Transperancy through election

Digital revolution has provided multiple tools of investigating the past history of candidates. The political parties are using these techniques to expose the misdeeds of opposing candidates. The media is too happy to give this information to public as Breaking News. As a result, the people now know all true facts about the candidates. Still, the decision of  of selecting the candidate is influenced by many other factors and such revelation of character may not  have much impact on election.

But the biggest advantage of such exposure of wrong doings, wealth collection by unfair means, involvement in corrupt practices, violence or conspiracy by the candidates is transparency  rendered to their past history. They cannot correct or defend the activities done in past.Though at present, they might have become law abiding and honest and feel sorry for their past deeds, they can't escape from law.

This effect of election to force transparency on the past history may be inconvenient to many candidates in all parties, but it has one positive impact for future elections.

Now those aspiring to join political party and stand for election have to take care of their behavior, guard their prestige and refrain from misdeeds. They should speak with responsibility and do not change their policies and opinions. They should think that they are under constant surveillance and should build their history with clean, accountable and justifiable actions. Otherwise bad history will destroy your aspirations and dreams.

If such change occurs, we shall get good candidates in future and it will be the greatest gift of election induced transparency to our society.
