CHOOSE and SELECT and ELECT... and what after?

I think we should correct our behavior and habits.

For every election we can see candidates pop out of nowhere; I hate to say that the focal motive can be no other than medal hunting to some of them.

I would like to see the parties play 90% in any election. Election shouldn't be a personal effort of each candidates. Because through elections parties can prove their strength, relevancy and objectives. Although nowadays not many people pay attention on statistics of the winning seats, number of membership but those are some other pride that has been lost for long.



From what I believe, it should have been the party that should carefully selected the running candidates. If there are only 9 seats to be contested, then let be 9 candidates running; 1 or 2 blockers are still acceptable but if there are too many got involved than we are wasting our valuable votes.

On top of all, the decision on who would represent the party for the CP election. A party SHOULD nominate a person for the CP election.
I actually really meant that such important person has to be well discussed among the party elders. The best if it's not driven by the sole ambition of the candidate, but rather take it a responsibility entrusted to him.

And, the role played by the parties shouldn't end there after the election.
The parties mechanism should always be the prime backbone of the elected person's carrier. The party should always try to elevate him to be seriously successful.

If anything go wrong with the elected candidates credibility, the party should hold responsibility as well.
