"What we want are people in Parliament empowered by a certain group of voters: not Nominated MPs, not NCMPs, but those given seats by virtue of a contest, according to votes."
He also warned that the opposition may become contented with just being NCMPs and become just decorative vases.
Does Mr Low feel the conviction of his words? If he does, shouldn't he reject all three NCMP seats in order to be true to his words?
Otherwise he risks sounding like an empty vase that makes a lot of noise, wouldn't he?
The three NCMP seats can then be offered to the top losing candidates from the other parties. We will still have diverse voices in parliament that come from the other parties.
But then, Mr Low had been quick to file a motion for Daniel Goh to take over from Lee Li Lian.
In fact he filed the motion on the very first day of the 13th Parliament when constitution says the party can move a motion for an alternative person AFTER Lee Li Lian has failed to take the Oath of allegiance TWICE. She failed to take the Oath once only.
Our sympathy to all the WP NCMPs who have become both duckweed and vases in one day.
