Should Pakatan Rakyat accept cross overs?

But of course ............ but not at this time. Not yet, anyway.

This is not the time to accept elected persons from BN wanting to crossover to PR.

These people were elected for various reasons by the rakyat and some respect should be given to the electorate's choice. By crossing over these people could be viewed as opportunists with self interest rather than the interest of the rakyat at heart.

These people must prove to the rakyat and PR that they are sincere to serve the people and not shifting with the wind. To do this, they must speak out during debates, argue for what is right and vote, accordingly, with or without the Whip. These people can do as much good on the BN side as on the PR side of the benches.

When a good and worthy bill is presented by PR, they should support it and finally vote for it. However, if it is a poor proposal, they should help shoot it down. Whether it comes from PR or BN.

These people can work on the side of New Malaysia without politically aligned to PR. They should vote for the people, for the good of the people, no matter which side of the political divide they are from.

Only when they have proved their sincerity and walked the talk, may they be considered to officially join PR ................. at the next election. Sooner, if by their actions they are sacked by their own party and a by-election is called. If they did right for the rakyat, be sure that they will convincingly win any by-election.

For ordinary rakyat like myself, it will be a good thing to see who actually works for the people who put them there. No matter their political affiliations.

It is time that our elected representatives actually represent us, the rakyat's interest NOT the dictates of their political party's leaders. We elected them, they should represent us. Period.

There is no BN is bad and PR is good. Who is so naive that the political situation is simply black and white and no shades of grey in between?

I say, let the status quo remain. Elected representatives, prove that you are the right person elected and be ensured that you will be elected, the next time around.
