User:KINGTUTER/Bradri System

The Bradri System, is a form of tactical voting which involves large group of people who pool their votes for one political party rather then individuals voting ineffectively for different parties, because of the large voter base the group can effectively democratically pressure the particular person the votes went to, non-compliance usually means in the next by election the group will vote for someone else. The word Bradri is a Punjabi word loosely meaning; family or tribe. The Bradri system of voting is common in the north of England due to large number of British Punjabis using this system of voting, usually yielding at least 1,000 votes.

This system of voting is also common in Pakistan, where powerful feudal land lords who are basically rural dukes with state granted privileges, get the peasants who are often provided with crops or money to pool their votes for a partiucalr party. This system has resulted in the Pakistani senate being largely made up of powerful feudal lords, and even the President being of feudal stock.
