GRC System - Scrap It ...

[ILovePAP]

i second these three suggestions without hesitation
all MPs should go on a 1-1 challenge in an SMC, where there's more than two candidates, candidate with highest vote count wins. NCMP and NMP aren't given voting rights when bills are passed, not elected by the electorate in any way. no need for these positions. i also second these suggestions because with the abolition of GRC, you can see PAP MPs dropping off like flies in no time

not necessarily true that the PAP will lose...

GRC has served them well. No way they will change. Maybe with one or two more GRCs collapsing, in addition to Aljunied, they may consider.

lemme see if i could come up with 30 names from the opposition camps... maybe PAP wouldn't lose, but it can kiss the 2/3 majority goodbye

If we scrap GRC, how will we hear TPL's beautiful voice and see her fair complexion in parliament? We need GRC to get fair maidens like her in. Or else Parliament will be so boring.

Discussions over the GRC system have flared up and died down over the years – especially every time we have an election – and there has been no shortage of criticism. It is time for us to really think about changing this Weird System.

My suggestion :

1. All constituencies to be Single Seat.

2. GRC Scrapped.

3. Scrap Current NCMP and NMP System too.

4. Say if Parliament is 87 seats (100%), Let's have 60% Chinese 30 Malays 15% Indians 5% Others. So if Total elected is short of this quota, Selected Representatives from these Race Groups will be nominated to be NMPs to make up for the % as pre-decided and more importantly, a fairer way for their voice to be heard.

Ideas Please...

Cut all your pretenses. Just love your PAP.

What is there to pretend? You Cant handle the Truth?

 

[winnipegjets]

You will see at least 50 percent of the seats lost. Tin Pei Lin will be one of them.

There is no need for that. I can assure you that under the past system the balance will be all the same.

You cannot have that as it also allows "free ticket" candidates to get into Parliament.

There is never a "free ticket" to parliament. The purpose of proportional representation was to ensure that the distribution of votes would be reflective of distribution of parliament seats. However knowing that people can be so diverse that a number of "1%" would vote for some bizarre party, there is a threshold of 5% of the votes before the first seat is given.

GRC or SMC. the result of the election would be practically the same. it is not only Singapore when a party with 60% popular votes win 90% seats. in a plurality voting system, if a party gets 60% popular votes, they will most likely win 90% seats.

 

[tanwahp]

No need 80 something MPs. 700 square kilometer island, 40 can liaoz. If MP don't hold so many directorship outside, sure have time for residents.

The number of MPs is determined by population and not land size. However you are right that the number can be reduced.

If they needed fair maidens who may not make good MPs, might as well look for something like this look:

this damn GRC system is called the party block vote system ( PVB ).

Under Party Block Vote, unlike FPTP, there are multi-member districts. Voters have a single vote, and choose between party lists of candidates rather than between individuals. The party which wins most votes takes all the seats in the district, and its entire list of candidates is duly elected. As in FPTP, there is no requirement for the winner to have an absolute majority of the votes. As of 2004, PBV was used as the only system or the major component of the system in four countries—Cameroon, Chad, Djibouti and Singapore.

Then we need to make Pappies lost more GRCs in next GE.
Scrapping of GRCs can be realized when they start loosing their GRCs.

fully agreed, they wont scrap something that benefit them

 

[chonburifc]

scrap the 1 day cooling off period. Waste of time. No advantages to anyone except pappies where their running doggies can stir shit on the FB account and get away with it, and walk right into the parliament.

Voters already decided. If voters need the 1 day cooling off period to make up their minds, then Stinking land is FUCKED!
