Ruled by one we have not voted for, isn't this not tyranny?
-
Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody. - Franklin Pierce Adams
very true. -
Those who voluntarily put power into the hands of a tyrant or enemy, must not wonder if it be at last turned against themselves.

He is not the best, how can a country place some one not among the best at the highest position? Isn't this not compromise Singapore? The Pm seat should be chosen by the people not the majority seats in the paliament. Don't forget LHL is LKY's son.Originally posted by FireIce:and how can u be sure they cheated?

Politics = Money. Who holds the money, holds the realms of power in his hands. Just look at our so called western democracies, who funds their politics - the big corporations. Money motivates most people - only the idealistic few will stick to their altrustic perspective; even they will recognise that this is how the world comes about. Sad, but true. Hence, you hold the money, you hold the power. Your policies make money, the money holders will support you. Dun folks like us vote with our pockets in mind? Naturally. Then what is Democracy down to then? In it's most cynical form, it is to give individuals a semblance of control over their lives.

We need PAP, but only as a minority government.

Democracy, which is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder, and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike-plato

I somewhat agree with you; PAP is good in the nation's business and commercial development, but horrible in taking care of the people!Originally posted by iveco:We need PAP, but only as a minority government.
They will make good Financial Comptroller of sorts- so bloody kiam-siap....! -
i say we need some members of the PAP, but we don't need PAP itself anymore.
-
Hence my point that they can function equally well as a minority government.Originally posted by nismoS132:i say we need some members of the PAP, but we don't need PAP itself anymore. -

and who would you like to be our King? Or our Royal family, for that matter? -
Simple,during the election that time,the PAP leaders invite Taiwan politician Ma Ying Qiu to Singapore.And Lee Kuan Yew acted like he has already win the election n show Ma Ying Qiu how "efficiency" is our government body.But,that time the election result havent disclose yet.Originally posted by FireIce:and how can u be sure they cheated?
So if Lee Kuan Yew act so high profile during Ma's visit,dont he afraid that if the election result were disclose n if PAP lose alot during the election,wont he get shamed?So the only reason why that Fuking Lee Kuan Yew act so high profile is he has already know the result of the election.Even before the result were disclose. -
I've nothing aginst you, or your ideas, but a statement like this is what will get you into trouble in Singapore. Why? Simple. You're unable to back up your claims. But to be fair, no one can back up this type of claim. Unless of course, you have cold hard evidence...Originally posted by drawer:Simple,during the election that time,the PAP leaders invite Taiwan politician Ma Ying Qiu to Singapore.And Lee Kuan Yew acted like he has already win the election n show Ma Ying Qiu how "efficiency" is our government body.But,that time the election result havent disclose yet.

It's not what you know, it's what you can prove. -

BTW, do you remember OTC's feud with the GIC? I think GIC was being somewhat didgy during the whole affair. -
IMHO, It's not tyranny because they didn't force you by any means, you just accept your PM without any resistance.
-
How do you know the people accept? Or just your personal conclusion?Originally posted by SiamesePatriot:IMHO, It's not tyranny because they didn't force you by any means, you just accept your PM without any resistance. -
i would rather have CSJ as PM than LHL. i surely didn't 'accept him without resistance', rather i was forced to accept him without choice.Originally posted by SiamesePatriot:IMHO, It's not tyranny because they didn't force you by any means, you just accept your PM without any resistance. -
The people voted for MP, have anyone seem people vote for PM?
-
1/3 of his electorate supported him.Originally posted by (human):The people voted for MP, have anyone seem people vote for PM? -
Actually democracy is also known as the tyranny of the majority.Originally posted by (human):Have you chosen him to be PM? Why is he sitting at the top ruling us unfairly with his lack of wisdom? Isn't this not tyranny? -
Interesting. Imagine 66% of people are ignorant and 34 % are learned. When the ignorant people are more than the learned people, the learned people have to live an ignorant live chosen by majority of 66%. Isn't this system unfair for those who are learned?Originally posted by pearlie27:Actually democracy is also known as the tyranny of the majority. -
I didn't see any protest, I didn't see anybody on the street marching for any campaign against current SG PM. By that way, I must admit that it's my personal conclusion to think that Singaporean accept current PM as legal and rightful PM, because nobody shows me any other thing else.Originally posted by (human):How do you know the people accept?

Legality is not everything, tyranny are nowadays breed legally. If you stay silent because the word 'LEGAL', you, by default, accept that tyranny. -
No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent.
-Abraham Lincoln.
I seriously think that many of us will not recognize him for that position. Will you? -
i'm sorry, are you stupid?Originally posted by SiamesePatriot:I didn't see any protest, I didn't see anybody on the street marching for any campaign against current SG PM.

YES!!!Originally posted by bigmouthjoe:Hey how many actually got to vote here? Why they dun hav one box say I dun like both?
If there was such a box during the last GE, I would tick that box. -
Well excuuuuuse me but I, and many others, are not part of that statistic. So it's not just unfair for those who are learned.. it's unfair for those who were deliberately excluded!!Originally posted by (human):Interesting.
