changes to electoral system to encourage wider range of views in parliament

singapore: The singapore government has announced proposed changes to the country's electoral system to encourage a wider range of views in parliament, including opposition and non-government views.

Prime minister lee hsien loong announced these proposed changes in parliament on wednesday.

He said each parliament will have at least nine opposition members and nine nominated members of parliament (nmps), so that there will be at least 18 members of parliament (mps) who are not from the ruling party.

The number of non-constituency mps (ncmps), who did not win a seat during an election but have the next highest percentage of votes, will increase from six to nine.

A proposal will be made to the parliamentary elections act to set a cap of two ncmps to come from any group representation constituency (grc). Parliament will also automatically have nominated mps.

Mr lee added that the nominated mp scheme will be expanded to include singaporeans from civil society like young activists or those in the environmental movement.

He also said that there will be fewer six-member grcs and a range of smaller grcs in the next election, while the number of single member constituencies will be increased to 12 from the current nine.

Prime minister lee explained that he is making the changes now, not because he is about to call elections, but so that the matter can be discussed and changes made in ample time before the next election.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced these proposed changes in Parliament on Wednesday.

He said each Parliament will have at least nine opposition members and nine Nominated Members of Parliament (NMPs), so that there will be at least 18 Members of Parliament (MPs) who are not from the ruling party.

obviously, this is to discourage voters from voting in more full opposition MPs who can not only debate but can also vote in parliament...NCMP and NMP can only talk

Hey fellow Sinkie! Have more guts. Don't listen to the pondan 'kong lan chiou weh'. Vote him out totally. Don't give the bloody excuse that your estate walkover. Shift house to another estate.

Otherwise, come here everyday to cow peh cow bu for what?

he is afraid that citizens will vote in opposition, thats why he concedes 9 seats to opposition upfront ... once the ppl are satisfied with this arrangement to have opposition voices, they will only vote PAP at the GE ...

he copies the strategy CST adapted in the 90s when singaporeans are sure that PAP will rule, and got 4 oppositions voted in,,,,

heard from someone that LKY was not very please with the current batch of MPs mainly handpicked by Pinkie Ass,,,, the quality of MPs selected by Pinkie Ass was much inferior than Wood Head,,,, maybe thats the main reason to get 9 oppositions in to tell their f998ing elite CB MPs, you cannot perform, no problem, get more oppositions to push you guys further,,,,,

no wonder so many MPs that never open their golden mouths suddenly so steady, and the CB LBW now shut up,,,,,

New batch of MPs either don't want to open their golde mouth or self praise themselves. Jamban Auntie Lee Bee Wah for example, loves to show off, carry balls and self praise until the online media and Wayang Party keep on hantum her non stop until she is forced into obligation.
