The difference between UMNO elections and US party elections

The reasons why im highlighting this is because of the the current generation DOESNT WATCH TERRESTRIAL TV and USES YOUTUBE.

They would watch how the US party elections and compare it with what we have here. Ignore them at your own peril

(1) Over there, They have manifesto and plans. They have a set of plans written and published and a specific timetable for that. Over here we will have one big press conference with the candidate sitting down and there's a big group of supporters behind him hawking like vultures waiting for their spoil. Even before the candidate won there's already vultures circling, how do you achieve transparency when there's already hands that wants to be fed?

(2) Over there, there's a townhall discussion and the candidate will be standing in the middle and asked all kinds of questions ( and i mean all kinds..i have heard a lady saying to Obama and MCain how can we trust any of you to do your job once youre elected, try and say that here and i'll guarantee you you'll get a hard glare and be escorted out by the security).
Over here, whatever you wish to say you'll probably have to say it to the PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO THE PERSONAL ASSISTANT of the CANDIDATE. which means he'll probably will never hear it.

(3) I am a firm believer that the party is suppose to serve the people, not the people who must serve the party.
