Taking Back Our Politics

The whole idea of politics was to have someone represent you - basically be your voice in the larger arena.

Most of us were really excited when the tsunami of GE12 showed the impact when people unite and come together with a purpose.

But a few years down the road, we're disillusioned with what we've got.

Frogs who've leaped to the other side upon offers of cash (or threats of exposure).

Troublemakers who can't keep their mouths shut, like Hasan Ali of PAS and Zulkifli Noordin and PKR.

Haris has a plan. And I like it.

His post, Enter the Third Force even had me raising my eyebrows and wondering if it was wise to split the vote at a critical time like this.

But there's more to it.

I'll let Haris walk you through it.

Frankly, I don't see how the third force would work. Independent candidates often don't do well. Instead, we need more good people joining the right political parties.

On another note, what do you think of the gold dinar and silver dirhams introduced in Kelantan. And how would this affect Malaysia if Pakatan were to take over?
