Reform the Electoral System

Hi, Mr Tan
I'm happy WORKERS' PARTY scored a landmark victory!
Under a 'proportional representation' electoral system, where voting is party-based rather than constituency-based, the Opposition, would, as a whole, have won 40 percent of  the seats in parliament since they polled nearly 40 percent of the total votes in this election, which means that in a 100-seat parliament, the Opposition would have won 40 seats! A great performance.
LET US WORK TOWARDS ELECTORAL REFORM, AND PRESS FOR PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION.
FRANCIS TAN TC.

    Too bad you have to win two-thirds majority before you can amend the constitution. The PAP would fight tooth and nail to prevent this from happening.
