Reminds me of when Ben Norton had journalist Brian Mier on after the last Brazilian election and Brian mentioned how there are many small parties in Brazil that will cooperate with anyone from Bolsonaro to Lula as long as they are offered some concessions, a purely transactional attitude, just worried about their own little carve outs, at the same time they always clear the minimum vote requirement to get into government lol.
Ok, sounds like the main reason the Indian opposition alliance exists is a lot of those politicians are tired of losing and want to try a single voting list, a bit like the opposition parties tried to do in Hungary (and still ended up losing).
Yeah kinda same thing. Though Indian political spectrum without the actual left ( CPI(M) and CPI) are like that only. When time is favorable congis will join BJP and vice versa. They don't mind that BJP and RSS is killing India, they want to partake in the loot and clout.
