Every right thinking, rational, non-fanatic, non-ultra-nationalist, non-extremist, MP and ADUN would CROSS-OVER from the ethnically racialits Parties of UMNO, MCA, MIC to PAS and PKR.
Those Malay-Muslim MPs can choose between PAS & PKR.
Those centre-of-left MPs can choose PKR instead of DAP.
At least PKR has some elements of socialism of the moderate and modern kind; so those fighting for "equality" and all that jazz of socialism can still find shelter in PKR.
It like moving from the Dark Ages to Renaissance, Englightenment, Modern Science, Industrial Revolution.
Magna Carta has been signed, the King has now subject to Parliament, the Court of Justices and His Majesty "First Among the Equals" ie. Prime Minister, Cabinet, Privy Council.
What's wrong with that; whereas there's plenty of WRONGs staying with ethnically racialist parties, which no longer proper for right thinking people.
MPs & ADUNs so don't muddle your ethics and morality ... justice is more supreme if not the hightest form of ethics and morality.
Reforms can only see the light of the day when there is change of Government !!
I support Anwar Ibrahim
On the surface, crossovers may be frowned upon as there seems something not kosher about it. Questions on loyalty and self-serving motives are raised.
At a more sublime level, one can say that these MPs are genuinely idealistic, and in choosing politics as a career, they have a true desire to serve the community that they live in. Not getting the brand of leadership they had hoped for, they are now seeking to work, let's say, under a new boss. One that's got courage to speak out, the mentality, mettle and articulation of a leader. They want to work with a party that's forward looking, inclusive and better for the community that they stand to serve.
I believe, this justifies the crossover. As long as the concerned individuals are sincere, and they have an impeccable record as a representative, the new coalition should accept them with open arms for the benefit of all.
It's really how we look at it, eh?
