Now he hopes to use FTrash votes to overwhelm Sporns when in 1994 he wanted to give more voting power to Sporns with their own families.

In an interview with Fareed Zakaria for Foreign Affairs magazine in 1994, he said:
I'm not intellectually convinced that one-man, one-vote is the best. We practise it because that's what the British bequeathed us and we haven't really found a need to challenge that.
But I'm convinced, personally, that we would have a better system if we gave every man over the age of 40 who has a family two votes because he's likely to be more careful, voting also for his children. He is more likely to vote in a serious way than a capricious young man under 30. But we haven't found it necessary yet. If it became necessary we should do it.
At the same time, once a person gets beyond 65, then it is a problem. Between the ages of 40 and 60 is ideal, and at 60 they should go back to one vote, but that will be difficult to arrange.
 
When LKY was the opposition, did he propsed this.
Did he want a GRC..?

OLd man.. Lose his great work and respect when he had to use underhand method such as GRC to protect his party and his son..
