Some people just like to see it expand; some people just like to be involved in the debate and the prcocess.

NCMP is just a little "concession" by PAP to pacify those who are crying for more "diverse" opinions in the parliment. Whats the point? Its like offering you a front row seat of a mass orgy but you cannot participate. For fuck? Yah, you can watch on the sidelines, you can give your speech, but wait a minute, you cannot vote. For fuck? Talk but no power. Might as well don't talk.
You want more airtime? Here's how, make yourself a weekly video clip and post it online. Have your pressence felt every week in the neighbourhood, either offering free legal counselling or walk-about. Be actively writing to the press suggesting this, suggesting that. All these takes alot of time and effort but no choice, you are not in parliment, you have to sacrifice some of this personal time to gain "airtime".
More air time to the media - hello, how many times the parliment sits in a year? And how much airtime each MP gets? Before you speak, you gonna apply and given, say 10 - 20min. to talk. Honestly, how many of us here watch parliment highlights after the news? And how many of us, actually go attend parliment sitting even if its free for public to attend?
All the decisions are made by the Cabinet and when it is put to the floor for debate, its 95% done deal. Like today, when LTK speaks, 10 other PAP members will jump on him and whack him.
No, the opposition party seriously needs to have 4 or 5 SMCs gained. Target the SMCs for this time round, like that, they cannot take away the SMCs the next round. Then target the GRC next. Bcos even if you bring down a GRC, it only means a cabinet minster losing his job, it does not shake the entire cabinet.
And seriously, Singapore is not ready for a change of government yet. Start with small steps.
