Towards Bipartisan Rule‏

Barisan Nasional has lost many of its strongholds to the alternative coalition in the last election. It is a nightmare for Barisan Nasional but it is good for the nation in the long run. The results of the last election shows the desire of the people to initiate a bipartisan rule in Malaysia. Bipartisan rule has been practised in many countries including USA. The stiff competitions between the Democrates and the Republican help to install a clean and transparent government which places the interests of the electrorates and the nation first. The president who made a serious mistake( such as Bush`s Gulf war) will bring disastrous consequences to his party. It looks like the Republican will have to pay a price for the mistakes made by Bush and Obama is most likely to enter the White House if he could defeat his main competitor, Hiliary. Republican`s McCain is no longer relevant.With the formation of two - party rule, each party will try its best to prove to the people that it is trusworthy, transparent, clean and efficient. Since people have the choice, the present government must not be seen as a corrupt or an arrogant one but rather a government which will strive for the benefits of all the people and the nation.Should the government fall short of people`s expectations , then it will lose its power to its opponent in the next five years.The two - party system has helped the Taiwanese to get rid of a corrupted president ( Mr. Chen Shui Bian) and the Democratic Progressive party.With the formation of a two party system , we Malaysians can also get rid of a corrupt government that abuses its power for its own gain.As electrorates are more educated and more matured politically nowadays, the onus is on the party concerned to prove its integrity and its credibility, failing which it has no other options but to give up its power to another party. A healthy competition between two parties is a good thing to the people and to the nation. Malaysia can become more competitive and progressive in the long run due to healthy competitions between two parties.Corruptions ,red tapes, inefficiency, complacency, arrogance and abuse of power in the legislative, judiciary and administrative would be reduced to minimum under the bipartisan rule in which people become the true masters.Nobody can defy people`s power anymore
