They have real problems.................
1) problem of getting the chance to vote...to vote for
  someone to represent them in parliarment,.... to fight
  for their interests on their behalf in parliament......

Who is stopping you or anyone, it's the opposition fault.... 


The  GOVERNMENT is stopping Singaporeans. They
introduced the GRC scheme, .... to retain power
without having to face the voters at GE.
It is the fault of the government, for introducing this GRC
scheme....(It is no fault of the other MPs...they did not
have the power to stop the GRC scheme.)
At the next GE, it is time to revise this scheme and let the
voters choose their MPs....if Singaporeans choose PAP MPs
so be it, I am not unhappy.....
    But, with this scheme, Singaporean DID NOT vote for the
MPs in GRC ...They were NOT elected by the people...


2) They have problems with kicking out those MP who
  were not elected by them, ....those who are now
  in parliament WITHOUT getting their mandate
  to rule.....

What mandates? 

 The mandate from the people.  In a democracy, the mandate
to rule come from the citizens. Periodically, the government
must go back to the people at GE,  to ask for fresh mandate
to rule.
Those GRC MPs were NOT elected (voted in) by the people, ....
they failed to get the mandate from Singaporeans.


3) They have problems with large GRCs...a scheme
  to get a majority in the past GEs,  to declare victory
  on nomination day...WITHOUT having to face the
  voters,

The law stated the GRC watever size, location and so wats 

the problems?

The LAW....????
This law is 'the' problem...this law is a scheme, to
perpectuate PAP rule.... without having to face the
voters.....this is against the principle of democracy!

It is time to revise the GRC scheme...to return the
power to appoint the government to the people....the
right to choose the MPs of their choice ....the power
of giving the mandate to rule... to the winning party.

Is the ruling party afraid to face the voters ?...
Surely, base on their current performance, they
should have the confidence to face the voters !


4) They have problems getting back their sacred
  rights to choose their own MPs, to give mandate to
  the chosen ones to rule, ...GRC had robbed them
  of this sacred right.


GRC was enacted by Parliament..... If the opposition
dun like it they should have......



The GRC was an act beyond the parlianmentary power
given by the people. ...The people did NOT give
parliament the power to enact laws, to rob Singaporean of
their rights to choose their own MPs and to elect (vote)
a government of thcir choice.

It is NOT the fault of the MPs of the other parties...This
issue of GRC go beyond party politics.
It is between  the government and the people of Singapore...
The government must not enact laws to perpectuate its
rule....the government is required to get fresh mandate,
periodically, from the people to rule Singapore.
GRC is therefore against the principle of democracy.....
it bypass the need for the government to face the voters.


Remember, ..."democracy is rule by the people
for the people".
MPs not chosen by the people is NOT rule by the people,
it is ...rule by 'elites' without the mandate of the people.

If opposition cannot and will not contest the GRC's ... 


I repeat,....GRC is beyond party politics....


You tok *** why don't you run, scare or no balls. 


I am NOT interested in petty party politics. I am interested
in seeing that our government is duely elected, and duly
empowered by the people of Singapore to rule.....
I am interested .....in  excercising the right of the people in
a democray.
Do you have problem with that ?

Are you saying Singapore is NOT a democracy...the GE
is a sham ?  I certainly have different takes from you.


Election should go back to SRC. If there are not enough Malay and Indian MPs (says 15) in the parliament, use the NCMP method to fill up the vacancy. The Malay and Indian candiadtes with the highest percentage of votes will be made the NCMPs
.
