Do you know what it takes to change the government?
Or should i say what does it take to change the cabinet?
changing a cabinet is something that will not happen until you hold
parliamentary majority either as a party or as a coalition of
parties.
Voting for an opposition and the opposition lets say wins 3 GRCs
coming up to 18 seats. You won't change the cabinet, its roughly
gonna remain the same with the exception of those who lost their
seats. The cabinet will still very much remain in the PAP's
control.
having an opposition MP >< change of government.
voting in your SMC/GRC in a situation where enough walkoevers for
PAP to form government is not about a choice of govt. Its a choice
whether or not to send an alternative voice into parliament.
when you vote, you choose your voice (your MP) not necessarily the
Govt. that's why you have electoral boundaries in the first
place.
These are basic prinicples on how our electoral and political
processes work.
Voters should understand these before they make their
choices.
If only changing this cabinet is as easy as those you get from
IKEA, buy new and chuck old. It's not so easy like the PAP would
have you to believe.
