Hyprocrite - LHL - Vote for Party? But no Proportional Rep!

27 August 2008
Responding to NMP Siew Kum Hong's queries of "Vote for the Party, not the individual MP", Hypocrite LHL said proportionate representation is the wrong solution for SinPAPoor as it would lead to divided politics and extreme positions being espoused. He said if an opposition constituency falls vacant, he could call for a by-election or another opposition MP to cover the duties.

Might be he has felt the heat of more and more PAP MPs reaching the limit of enduring the PAP authoritization, Hypocrite LHL thus gave the warning ""Vote is for the Party, not the individual MP", stating clearly that any MPs who rebels PAP will get sacked.

This question should have been raised by the Worker Party, but not by a NMP. WP has obtained near 35% votes in the General Electon, but how many % of seats it got in the Parliament?

Last election there were 33% vote for the opposition. How come opposition ending up only have 2 seats out of 84 seats in the parliament? 33/100 x 84= 28 seats

haha its the same, he said it look at the party. Singaporeans all know PAP is in power, so we all votes PAP and PAP wins.....

[happy3heng]

cos the 33% came from the few places where the opposition actually contested in. So many walk overs by PAP, but naturally those aren't counted in the 66% 'landslide' too
