And lost a lot more for being so. Sinkie sheep do not take kindly to confrontation. They think it's uncivilised. "We don't want to be like Taiwan where they fight in parliament" is a common refrain from Sinkie sheep. Sinkie sheep live in an artificial bubble, contrived by their exploiters, where absolute selflessness reigns and nobody's cynical enough to question the self-interests of authority.

The Papzis term it confrontational when they're taken on. Such are opinion imposed on most sinkies for now. For the younger generations and those that travel widely and stayed abroad frequently from time to time, taking on the authority with questions are nothing new and not uncommon, even civil disobedience.
In the years ahead as people starts to realize their rights to question, opinions is going to change, will change. I've always respect all the opposition parties but the only party that is good at such an approach is the SDP and it'll be good to have it around to take the lead when the time comes.
