Can PR form the next government?

Nowadays, most Malaysians are interested to know whether PR can form the next government. My answer is yes and no. Yes if the PR works in a smart way and be united and forms a strong coalition such as that of BN. No if the PR quarrels among themselves such as in the case of unity government as proposed by the PAS conservatives.

At this moment, it is unfortunate that the PR is not selling the idea of two party system. The PR should be united as though it is a party and the BN another party. The PR should now start campaigning for a two party system in Malaysia and let all Malaysians know the advantages of two party system as compared to a ruling party dominated by BN only. Once the voters buy the idea of a two party system, then the PR stads a good chance to win in the next general election.

Also, it is important that PAS adopts a liberal and open approach in all issues pertaining to politics, education, religion and economy. From now on, if PAS is still bent on creating an islamic state, then the chance of PR forming the next government will almost be nil.
