What does he imply?

I read this in The Straits Times. May 4, 2006

Headline
Dominant PAP is what makes S'pore succeed: PM

quote from headline news:-

...Right now, he noted, there were three opposition members in Parliment - Mr Low, Mr Chiam See Tong, Mr Steve Chia. "So we can deal with them, it's ok." But the situation would be different if more opposition candidates got elected, he said. If the opposition held 10 to 20 seats in Parliament, he would have to spend much more time thinking about how to counter them and "how can I solve this week's problem, and forget about next year's challenges".


Well if I can have my 17 cents worth, I think that's what politics is about aint it - Having an opposition? What is politicking if there is no opposition? Just come into power every election and make a farce and mockery on democracy. Yes it is a hassle to have someone breathing over your back when you are thinking or planning something, imagine you playing mahjong and someone standing behind you. But thats makes for better planning, that makes you a better mahjong player. Cos the internal censor is now working overdrive, wanting to prove something.

And that begs the age old political scientist questioning of the paradoxical theory in that continunity does not necessarily equate to stability nor does instability is the result of discontinunity. Thats for political scientist to debate on.

Maybe you have other ideas?

Anyway, this year's election definately is a watershed election, for me and for the nation.

2 more days left.
