The nifty traders- the five years old community thriving on Dalal Street – are somewhat down since the first day of 2008. Thanks to the market mayhem killing the trading interest. However some of them are now having a hope. The die hard traders are now wishing that there should be an index that tracks the prices of members of parliament – MP Index- which can be traded. The index is said to be at the all time high.
 
Thanks to the power drama in the center, there is a sudden demand for MPs. The communists have already cashed out after a four years of married life. The samajawadi party is about to tie knot with Congress and there are few more in the wing all set to ride the wave. The old partner of NDA- Akali Dal- is also betting big and trying their level hard to make to the government though they do have difference with Congress in their home state. Independents are also checking the possibility of making it to the power. And over and above all these there are some like Narayan Rane of Congress who will try his level best to ensure that some of the opposition members turn to Congress.

This churn ensures few things at one go. In the first place, there is a clear confidence vote in the Congress's favour. At the same time, it helps many to show their power in 'forming the government'. The likes of Narayan Rane will not let this opportunity to go, by pulling people from Shiv Sena. The men on the fence also will jump on either side before the parliamentary elections and ensure that they are on the right side of business. Those who do not see any great future in politics in the next five year drama, will try take maximum home by allowing others bidding as they quote 'up for sale'. The ordinary Indians are expected to watch this business of politics and enjoy the thrill for some time. At the end of the day, the businessmen are elected by the ordinary Indians.
