The UK elects 650 MPs to their House of Commons. Each MP is elected from a constituency.
They seem to be able to produce MPs to reflect the diversity of their country, i.e. people from various ethnic groups and religions.
They do not need the convoluted system of GRC (group representation constituency) that is used in Singapore.
They have also elected a Muslim of Asian origin, but born in the UK, to be the Mayor of London. They do not need to have a "reserved election" for him to be elected into this office.
Singapore had set a good example to the world of Singaporeans from different racial and religious backgrounds living in harmony.
Can we get rid of our GRC and reserved elections and elect Singaporeans regardless of race, language or religion?
