Elections in Tamil Nadu

The election is announced to be held on May 8, 2006.

ADMK led by Jayalalitha and DMK led by Karunanidhi are in the fray. DMK has a strong coalition with Congress, PMK, MDMK, CPI(M) and CPI. Jayalalitha has roped in DPI of Thol Thirumavalavan. MDMK and the communist parties are negotiating hard over seat share with DMK. One or two from the DMK camp might switch sides to ADMK on the seat allocation issues.

What kind of results I would like: (I think ADMK should win irrespective of the alliance arithmetic).

ADMK - 100 seats
DPI - 5 seats
MDMK - 20 seats
PMK - 10 seats
Congress - 30 seats
DMK - 25 seats
Communists - 10 seats
DMDK (Vijayakanth) - 20 seats

DMK + PMK + MDMK + Congress+Communists should not cross 100 mark (95 seats here)
ADMK should not be able to form government on its own (100 seats) and should form government with DMDK (20) and DPI (5) as partners.

This will let Jayalalitha head the government with some temperation to her methods. She should be forced to co habitate with other parties.
