Hypocritically PAS-sive
Politics is hypocrisy, which makes politicians the greatest hypocrites on Earth. Any doubt of such was erased just reading the papers right after the PAS Muktamar when you had their leaders at first chastise each other for wanting to form a 'unity government' with UMNO and then mention that they won't be 'joining UMNO'.
Okay. Just what the heck does that mean?
Imagine this.
Let's just say PAS joins the government side. Now we all know that when it comes to voting a resolution in our Parliament, the whip is enforced unless otherwise mentioned.
So then pray tell, just how is PAS going to influence any motion by the government?
Even if they don't vote it won't make much of a difference.
Do you see the irrationality right here?
Well sure, their quest for Malay unity and perhaps more power in handling religious affairs of state would be increased, but in the end it's nothing more than just a smokescreen.
There's only one reason PAS would switch sides and that is to further their goal for a more increasingly religiously conservative government.
And it's obvious that such an objective cannot be met with DAP and PKR, particularly since it has already been stated that such policies will not come to pass without all three parties within the PR's agreement.
With that in mind, what is PAS but basically a courtesan whoring around to see who can give her more power to achieve her ambitions?
Mata Hari had more credibility.
