But what if verdict is fractured?

I was thinking, how do u make induced defections to stop and if at all there are, it is based on principles/policies and not for ministership, posts or money?

How about this...
1) All candidates/elected representatives should swear by their parties manifestos for the elected term. If they decide to differ, they have to resign their seat.
2) Any representative defecting/supporting govt/party other than their party at the time of election, cannot gain from the support for the elected term .They can do like Narayan Rane (I am assuming that is what he did), ie resign from the seat and get re-elected under the new party and become minister etc. So no ministeral berth, no chairman post, and ofcourse no money. The defector should give an affidavit that he/she did not accept any monetary consideration for changing their vote.

I am sure no would be defector would support this measure, but I think the political parties themselves will support it as they are vulnerable to defection.
