Question 4: Has the strategy of convincing existing parties to improve their candidates or offer incentives for performance/integrity to politicians and administrators been considered? (FTI could then become a lobby group that applies various types of pressure to reforms in governance as well provides expertise.)

FTI is not interested in fixing the problems of other political parties. Its members have the ‘solution kit’ for India which they want to implement, themselves, since they are also, each one of them, leaders in their own right.

FTI members do not believe the existing politicians come up to the standard of integrity and humanity that is required of leaders in India. Hence FTI will replace the existing set of leaders in India, lock, stock, and barrel, with new leadership.

FTI is not simply a ‘certification’ agency for politicians in general: Only for those who contest in a coordinated manner under its auspices (not necessarily banner).

Finally, it is not and will not be a lobby group apart from being a direct force for change. Its aim it to lead by example. By directly stepping into the political field when its strategies are finalised and people primed and ready to go, it will set the new standards both of politics and policy which will thereafter, hopefully, become more commonly accepted as a model by others in India.
