The UK political system is one of the most stable systems in the world. It is a parliamentary system with two clear cut political parties that have very clear cut ideologies. The Philippines on the other hand is multiparty. While there are benefits of having a lot of parties to choose from which a two party system does not provide, our party system however is somewhat unique and have afforded itself the term “redundant.” Our political parties are not based on ideology, unfortunately. The ideological spectrum from liberal to socialist, from right to left, with terms such as center right and center left DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR SYSTEM. Our parties are created differently.

It is why in our case, voting in terms of political parties, in my opinion, should not be done and instead should be based on the integrity of each senatorial candidate, the laws they have passed, the things they support, and their own specific ideologies.

I agree with your husband entirely that the Philippine political system is hopelessly flawed, but before we can vote the same way as the Brits do, we have to seriously overhaul our party system first and promote education on the political ideologies they represent.

I’ve been leaving in the UK but right now I’m here in the Philippines. This coming election I will vote straight to TEAM UNITY – I don’t like all the candidates but by voting straight it shows that my support is to the administration of Pres. Arroyo. My British husband said that the reason our politics is not stable it’s because of our system – we vote on individual candidates.

Example:
Let’s say on this coming election it’s the Opposition who win the majority in the Congress and in the Senate so, what they’re going to do is just make the administration of Pres. Arroyo difficult – not easy, their going to file an impeachment to remove Pres. Arroyo in power – and who will replace? Back to J. Estrada again – our politics will just go in circle – never ending story of political aggression – NO PEACE – and who will be affected ‘US’ the Filipino people – Politicians don’t mind that we suffer for their actions – all they’re interested is the POWER.

My husband said that in United Kingdom they vote to a political party not to the individual candidates that’s why they don’t have political violence and the party they elected – can work together as a TEAM for the PROGRESS of the Country. And this kind of system is the best in the world if only people will just VOTE WISELY.

He also said to me that our President (ARROYO) is the best we have at present – take that from a foreigner’s point of view. If all of us Filipino can give our support to our Pres. and allow her to do her job then we might achieve STABILITY in politics, peace and order, and economy – then PROGRESS will follow.

So why don’t we just support the Present Administration – PRES. ARROYO
