Do they have enough time..?


I mean politically? Do they have time to correct the mistakes and the blunder they have made in the 12th general elections? BN has lost the elections badly in that general election. Judging by the results of by-elections from Permatang Pauh to Permatang Pasir, BN has yet to understand why they have lost. But political organization is very different from non-political organization. If it is a business organization and it fails then it is easy to go to the causes of that failure. The CEO might get the sack and so are other key functional executives that fail to perform.

Politics is the art of getting followers and support for the so-called vague ideology. Unlike business organization that can produce products for the customers, politics are being perceived by many has no direct link with anything at all for that matter. It all depends and the link can be situational and can be on anything, real or fantasy. Take example of the MCA crisis, even Dr Chua Soi Lek has failed to see the bigger link. Instead of resigning long time ago and save the nation, he keeps on doing things as though his presence is very much wanted. So is MIC and Samy Vellu.

UMNO has done a better job in tackling the leadership crisis. But again only at the top level. A dismay scenario when comes to branch and divisional level. When comes to general election, it is the grassroot support and the people that makes the difference in parliament.

Given the crisis the BN components parties are facing today, question is, do they have enough time to solve the problems before the next general election?
