then who is the democrats? the current gahmen?
Nah....we don't have one. In some ways, the PAP is leaning right on
certain issues...but they do lean left on other issues.
PAP is definetly more left than the Republicans.
Hell, even by the world's standards, the democracts are not
considered liberal. Just because Obama's belongs to the democracts
does not mean I like Democracts as a whole.
Look at Nancy Poleski for example, another idealist who have no
damn idea how the world function.
We don't need to be happy with democracts in singapore simply
because there is a republican like party here. (Looking at how the
republicans attacks other party, they are basically how the SDP and
some of their supporters attack the PAP, we don't like you hence
you should suffer...those kind of mentality.)
Perhaps a party that is liberal. ( the SDP can't be considered
liberal, as you must realise screaming human rights and democracy
can't be considered to be liberal) If anything , SDP is somewhat
libertarian (as they seems to be more interested as an
anti-government orgainzation than wanting to be the government)
However, don't be liberal until you allowed legal use of drugs
and so on, as there is no point in allowing people to do stupid
actions ( Society is basically a bunch of kids, and if a kid do a
stupid action, you stop him from harming himself and others. Which
is why we need the government to be a little socialist at
times)
Other than that, they can be liberal about certain sexual
issues, and tear down those stupid laws about sex. Great...you
cannot own pornography yet at the same time, you can watch it? What
kind of stupid law is that? Unnatural sex? Who the hell even
enforce that law anyway, and who even follows that law?
Perhaps demostrations that is tightly regulated ( come on, look
at the movie Money not enough 2, and the post of some members here.
They can't even tell the difference between a riot and a peaceful
demostration)
Liberal in a sense that they are more willingly to be more open
to a certain extend, somewhat socialist ( screw free market and
expecting people to be smart...people aren't smart) , is willingly
to go nuclear for energy usage, re-industralise the economy ( we
can't be too focused on teritary economy, once the spending power
of the US economy has collasped, or the world hits a global
recession or even great depression, hard to save the economy when
we are too focused on teritarty economy)
Again, emphasis the importance of education, and the need for
everyone to get a degree at the least. ( We don't need a population
of dumb people, or a population where it is ok to be dumb. If
that's the case, we are basically following the ugly part of the
US, the southern states, and the republican base. )
Emphasis the importance of science, and allows students to talk
about politics in class, this is an age of internet( not the 1960s)
, its better to let the students grow up with knowledge of the
politics, and be concerned. Tell me how many people in secondary
schools or even Polytechinc is even concerned about
politics, beyond hating the PAP.
Hating PAP for no other reason, other than they are the PAP is
bad...just like the Republicans base.
Most importantly, don't just talk about social issues. Don't
give me those coffee shops talks, about the fact
that raising tax and etc is the only issue people can
talk about.
Come on, don't ever let singapore politics become something like
the US...where people can be blinded into supporting a certain
party, simply because one party offered more tax cuts. Be flexible,
if the people is not doing so well, lower the tax, when people
income and etc is rather high or decent enough, raise the
taxes.
( Don't be frightened of losing votes simply because you raise
the tax when the economy and the people are doing well...since when
can humanity overcome their desire of greed, and not knowing how
much money is more than enough for them. Same thing as wanting a
bigger house even though you don't need a bigger house...why do you
need a 2 storey house when you only have a family of 3? )
Energy policy, economic policy, trade policy, and if necessary,
go against the rising demand for more religion influnence in
politics ( I'm looking at you chrisitans, as you guys did want
singapore to have a more religious influence in politics) . Come
on, christians in singapore, just because other ('liberal')
countries is doing something stupid does not mean we have to follow
them.
