Wonda why LHL make this announcement in SPAIN and not in SINKapore? Cooling off period is definitely advantage to the ruling party if they are controlling the media which will affect minority of the voters. However, I believe this generation is different from the past. They understand what is propaganda/brain washing.
Main stream media (newspaper/TV) is powerful in the past, but in the 21st century I think internet has replaced it position. I believed during the eRection, a lot of sites will list out all the "GOOD" things these million dollar men have done.
I would like to see a debate between each party. LIVE! Each party will send a representative doing Q&A LIVE! on TV. If possible, do it for every constitiuency and see what substance they really have. Wouldn't that be interesting!
