state party in the state of Karnataka, Kerala and Arunachal Pradesh. It was founded
by the former prime minister of India H. D. Deve Gowda in July 1999 as a breakaway
faction from the Janata Dal.[4][5] It has a political presence mainly in Karnataka.
In Kerala, the party is a part of the Left Democratic Front.

founded in 1977 as a coalition of several smaller parties that combined forces to

pinnacle when H. D. Deve Gowda became Prime Minister of India, heading the United
Front (UF) coalition government.[10][11]
The 2004 Karnataka Assembly election witnessed the revival of the party's fortunes
with JD(S) becoming part of the ruling coalition in the state
So who "should" be the winner of this election? An argument can be made for any of
the three candidates. When an election is particularly close, like many of the
recent US Presidential Elections, there is typically an outcry for the plurality
voting system to be changed to one that allows voters to express more of their
preferences. However, in many of these cases, the candidate who was in third place
in the plurality vote would end up being the winner under a Borda count or other
positional method.https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Funacademy.com

In conclusion, different voting methods have advantages and disadvantages. However,

instead of clearing up the issue of who should win a close election, these
alternate methods typically just call the result into question. For this reason,
none of the methods can be considered "the best" method.
