Our late Minister Mentor or his son I forgot literally said it was okay for him to do this

Do you think there is lack of private sector candidates because they don't make the cut or not enough of them join?

My sense is that they rely too much on pre-approved candidates

Surely, but has there been instances where they have voted for real social change?

Even Australia when they instituted gun control, the conservatives went against their base to do it and Borbich lose his job because of it

Hi Cherian, do you think an educated electorate that votes for their own interest and the country's interest ever possible? Looking at how the US and UK developed, it is clear that there are people who will votes against their own interests and drag the country with them.

That's my point, isn't it？Change is messy and the citizenry typically would preserve what they think is beneficial for them even if it is clearly isn't (American gun control, UK Brexit, Aussie Gun Control)

I personally think that citizens won't become smarter and vote for better social welfare because they think they have it better and don't have to subsidize others.
