No more zero sum game!

The way ahead. Ubah Cara handling of voting to elect a representative.

First pass the post kena ubah kpd proportional representation & wakil Rakyat di ambil dari “party list”.

Jika Di ubah kpd cara diatas – pemilihanan berubah yg akan:-
1) asas nilai 1man 1 vote Sama.
2) semua undi di ambil kira
3) Gerrymandering tidak terjadi / menjadi
4) tidak melahirkan / wujud giant killer.
5) Yg parti fikirkan terbaik (ikut hiraki senarai) akan terpilih.
6) Dengan sendirinya terjadi proportional representation dari semua segi kumpulan – baik parti, puak, agama atau kaum.
7) Will encourage voting, pasal every votes counts.
8) tidak ada ruang berlaku kingmaker dalam mana² Kawasan.
