I don't think we ever had such an event anywhere in the world. A Party where all the main identities have literally disqualified themselves but are seeking to contest the GE. Their youth wing have been particularly active on the net, on the ground including door knocking.
The closest has been the wife taking over the husband's mantle when the latter is out for the count. It happened with the Rajiv Ghandi, Peron, and our neighbour's Anwar.
Without an identity or an iconic figure their chances are close to nil. Interestingly while the adults' associate friends have formed alternative parties to avoid getting dragged into bankruptcy and closure of the party, I wonder why the adults have not told this to the youth wing. If they don't have faith in the survival of their own party why let these poor kids waste their time.
Comments anyone?
