		<description>To a typical reader, this is all opaque.  It is not at all obvious that you&#039;re referring to politics in India.  It is not at all obvious that the definition of &quot;Left&quot; here is essentially the communist parties of India.

Does it make any sense at all to even calculate a trend line for votes for a political movement?  Parties decline or advance based in large part on their particular leaders at any given time.</description>
