How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

Nick Clegg is not being neglected...

but instead, is much sought after, being the king-maker after UK's first hung parliament in decades.

Unlike our local version of 'Menteri Besar Maker', where secret deals were struck and laws breached to grab power within a state, the two-party system in UK worked well over the years. It is a system which Malaysians wish our country could eventually have, hopefully without major unrest.

UK's political system is so mature that any decision on which major party is to form the next government is expected to be smooth as ever.
