social worker anna has advised that there should be direct election to Prime minister's post. This is no doubt a new idea but is a variant of presidential form of government. Even in Presidential form, you cannot avoid parliament. What I don't understand is how the directly elected P.M. can pass any bill including anna's favorite Lok Pal Bill without majority in parliament.

Actually Anna and some of his like mended associates toy with idea of direct democracy, party less democracy.
That is possible when all other parties agree to go for a national government, every party having their quota of ministers according to their strength and finally a voting on PM candidate In combined session of house. No party will agree to this arrangement in present situation as it stands.
Actually there is no democracy without political parties. There are different viewpoints in public. These viewpoints are like liquid that needs container in form of political parties. Usually dictators either undermine political parties or favor party less system. Ayub Khan Pakistan President had a notion of 'basic democracy' that excluded political parties. Similarly a Nepal King favored part less democracy. In our country, Indira Gandhi undermined her own party which was split by her, emergency proclaimed and her coterie rule established.

I agree, but we shall have to limit the number of political parties with no place for independent members who do nothing but support a party for their personal gains. We should change to limited number of parties (say-3 to 5) to keep politics free from corruption.

I agree. Only the recognized political parties at national level should contest the parliamentary and state level parties the assembly elections. The state level parties could be allowed to contest parliamentary constituencies by arrangement with nation level parties whose symbols they may use. There should be absolute ban on defections. Present relaxation from anti defection law when defectors exceed 1/3 should be withdrawn.
Anna is in state of confusion and coming up with a suggestion a day, ignoring the practicalities.
Actually he is not confused. Some NGOs are working for creating anarchic conditions. They get paid by foreign sources and also get awards like Magsaysay and even Nobel prize. .
So he’s aiming high. In this process he should not forget that he’s gradually losing his popularity whatever he had as the ‘Messiah of Masses.’

I think he knows this. So he first had his venue at Mumbai. Later shifted to Delhi. Now he is touring different places. In fact, rallies are also an amusement to people. No movie runs in a theater for an indefinite period. Same is with rallies that are really a matter of entertainment only.

Anna is thinking all the people who turn out to enjoy the free entertainment provided by his rallies is an indicator of his popularity. Who’s going to enlighten him?

Anna 's popularity and people's faith in him is getting reduced day by day. He is asking the government to do certain impossible things. Not sure if Anna, Kejirwal and Kiran Bedi will work together hereafterwards.

Kejriwal has already left Anna's group and started " Aam Aadmi party."

I don't think Anna will ever think in terms of becoming a PM himself but his advisors have no idea of Indian constitution. They come to join him to stay in limelight or make their political desires take a new step. People like writers who do not a word of politics or know about Indian poor people/masses flock in to show their faces and disappear issuing a funny statement. As Gulshan Ji said their aim is a booker or alike.

Sir, anna team included legal expers like shanti Bhushan, Prashant Bhushan, Swami Agnivesh- who are well aware of the constitution. Even now Anna has military expert Ex chief of Army with him. The fact remains that these groups are anarchic and have no purpose other than to create lawlessness, disorder and chaos.

I must admit Anna speaks his own mind out without consulting his legal experts. He is not an expert on matters like that but speaks what he feels is right as much as he can think. As you yourself said, legal experts would never suggest such childish talk to him.

His legal experts are also anarchic like him. A man is known by the company he keeps and anna is no exception.
