there are 82 parliamentary seats in singapore.
anyone winning 39.5% of the votes should get some 30 seats.
why was the opposition denied the extra 20 seats during the last ge2011?
what went wrong?
what brand of politics or democracy is this?
-
No but we sure as hell dont bring it down.
-
@chrish767 does that mean we should move the legal voting age to 30+?
-
police state.

dictatorial democracy is the perfect form of civilization. government should micromanage every aspect of people's life. for exampple oral sex is unproductive and should be banned.

@360du Yes. No jobs = poverty = unrest = revolution.

@joos0202 LOL Petitioning? No wonder nothing came out of it. If you want results, you and other protest loudly. If that doesn't work, you and others riot. THAT'S how you get the attention and results from any government.

@Tricblade Singaporeans could unite and do something about it. But no, Singaporeans just whine. How pathetic.

@TaffyAlpha Where's the logic in that?
If you vote for someone who is corrupt and power hungry and becomes leader (i.e. Prime Minister), how come people who didn't vote have no right to complain when the people who didn't vote didn't bring the corrupt and power hungry leader to power? If anything, the people who didn't vote have MORE right to complain, perhaps the only right. The people who voted would be at fault and would need to stfu.

Most young ppl in every country r naive. This is why churchill said “If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”Many young ppl like to rebel at the notion of authority. However, there is one problem. Most of em dont vote. Those who do, throw their votes away to small minority parties. As they grow up and find jobs, responsibility comes and they take their votes more seriously. Same goes for Singapore.

In my earlier years as a twenty-something. I used to 'hate' Singapore for being overly conservative but after 10 years.... i've come to realise something about my views that i had before were really without basis.
If i have to meet LKY one day. I'd like to thank him personally for taking care of us and the work he and his party has done. I've lived overseas and nuthing feels like home...or Singapore rather...safe & secure.
I have my complains still... but i share the same vision as LKY.
