Having an integrated view is the need of our times.


Today we have a divided world. People and Nations are divided on the basis of race, religion, ideology, language, developed/developing, nuclear/nonnuclear and so on. These differences are manmade and are perpetuated and exacerbated by the party-based political systems that thrive on these differences.
Yet the people by and large wish to have peace and hope for a world where nations co-exist on the basis of mutual understanding. Thus if we could have a political system that can have a integrative, rather than a divisive effect on the minds of the people, then, gradually the wish for a peaceful world will become fulfilled.

When the heart, which instinctively seeks peace, is made the centre of all political processes, then the process of integration would start. Partyless Democracy, where the individual's heart rather than ideologies and other considerations, determines whom he or she is going to vote, would be the political process that would fulfill this requirement.
