Let’s have a referendum

We have 45 years of success under the able leadership of the ruling party. I think people will have a hard time trying to disagree with this truth. We are here today because of the unique political system that we have developed and copyrighted. And it is a system that is not easily replicated. It is a system based on able and benevolent leadership, tough paternalistic and incorruptible leaders. What is the referendum all about? We need to give the people a choice to choose a political system they want. We have a tested system that the people have lived in and proud of. It has been proven beyond any doubt, comparing to the countries around the world, that our system delivers. This one party dominance system must be one of the two choices to be offered to the people. The next is a benevolent dictatorship, a slight variance from the current system. The conditions for its success are quite similar from the one party dominance system except that you can do away with elections. Let the benevolent dictatorship rule and make everyone rich and happy. Both may not be near to the ideal western model of democracy, but both work efficiently to provide the people with the best leaders and a high standard of living. There is no need to blindly follow the West to want a western democracy. What the people should decide is what is good for them. Let the people choose in a referendum, for a one party dominance govt or a benevolent dictatorship. The people cannot claim that there is no choice. Just choose one.

Oh, we have a choice and they try to make sure we have the only choice. Soon, we will have no opposition to speak of. And it will be like electing the President. All unopposed. Do we really need a referendum?

i am giving you two choices. isn't that better?

I can also give you a choice: die a slow painful death or a quick one? We should ask people which they prefer!

hi ghormax, welcome to the blog.

in times like this death is a better choice. painful or painless becomes irrelevant.

we must count ourselves lucky that it is not compulsory.

Death is a better choice! Don't fall sick.

I think JBJ must be laughing in his grave.
