I asked this question in the Wisdom of the Crowd - Will you vote for non-PAP at the next general election.
Here are the responses:
69% - Definitely. I will vote against the PAP.
22% - Only if I can accept the manifesto of the non-PAP candidates.
6% - Yes. If the non-PAP candidates contest under a common banner.
3% - No. I prefer to vote PAP.
Non-PAP: 69%. Maybe - 28%. PAP 3%

Voting is sentiment based, human nature.
ReplyDeleteMany voters given honey to sweeten their mouths would change tack and vote PAP, a weakness exploited easily by the incumbents.
Social media and smart phone, playing on last minute sentiments, are the king maker in Malaysia's GE, wily Harapan was also quick to send their people to jaga the counting boxes at counting centres, helped to prevent fraud.
Make America great again, make Malaysia great again is a powerful motto.
So Opposition Parties must take a leaf here for the next GE, plus collaboration, many chopsticks together can't break. But the Opposition Parties here have candidates that have big egos.
Whether Mahathir can hold all his rojak Harapan members together is another matter, but setting aside egos to collaborate clearly wins hands down.
