And just hope that by GE13 Pakatan are ready and could just erode BNs hold in the East.<br /><br />My thoughts are that if we the people could get 2/3 of the seeats in the peninsular which will adds up to just over 51% or about 114 seats out of the total of 222 seats and that is provided that no further gerry mandering by the commission.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14911256124110730950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218905194749721714.post-31314795488300921442009-06-24T03:45:46.773+08:002009-06-24T03:45:46.773+08:00hi anon,

Opposition parties have protested every time a delimitation exercise is being conducted and what i heard is that they are in fact now starting to draw the lines again for GE13.<br /><br />The democracy we have here in this country is called de-mock-crazy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14911256124110730950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218905194749721714.post-26176485480570815812009-06-23T19:37:32.144+08:002009-06-23T19:37:32.144+08:00Apparently, the concept of gerrymandering crept in...Apparently, the concept of gerrymandering crept into Malaysian politics during the late 90s with the 1999 GE being the 'pilot project'.<br /><br />It must have been contrived to surreptitiously benefit BN in view of the Reformasi movement at that time.<br /><br />However, I think there is an unwritten rule that the variance between parliamentary constituencies must not be more than 20 percent. Otherwise, it would give unfair advantage to the incumbent government of the day. <br /><br /><i>But the again, with the EC acting like an extended appendage of UMNO, fairplay can take a flying leap out of the 88th floor of the Twin Towers, right</i>.<br /><br />Bro, apart from RPK, not many have attempted to challenge the EC to address the gerrymandering anomaly. The idealism of 'One Person, One Vote' should be re-visited prior to GE13.<br /><br />Note: It is written into the Malaysia Agreement that 25 percent of parliamentary seats must be allocated to East Malaysian states i.e. 56 seats out of the current 222. In fact, I heard it was previously 33 percent but TDM changed that in the 90s.shar101https://www.blogger.com/profile/13162891509015955835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218905194749721714.post-69095416022187954092009-06-23T15:45:02.742+08:002009-06-23T15:45:02.742+08:00Mr Hawk,
