malaysiakini on the BULLY BOYS of the BN

I wonder who should castigated more - the big bullies or those who allow themselves to be bullied?
According to this malaysiakini article PRS: Umno is a bully, so is PBB the Sarawak party claims that the big parties of the BN bully them.
Someone should educate them that the BN still runs the government because they still support such bully parties.
We have been told that Badawi is stepping down in March 2009 to take the blame for the election losses even though they still control enough seats to govern untill the next elections.
In a proper Parliamentary democracy, when the PM steps down, anyone who wants to be PM must get the vote of confidence of the majority of MPs but Malaysia sidetracks the issue by assuming that the PM can transfer his office to the DPM. This is wrong and we are accepting such a "pretender PM".
In fact when the PM resigns/retires the entire Cabinet should also resign to give the new PM the best chance to implement his policies.
Maybe we should send some MPs to Israel to study how the new leader of the Kadima party,Livni has to call for snap polls as she could not work out a compromise among her coalition partners.
It is time that Malaysians insist that our MPs are held to a higher standard of Parliamentary democracy and demand a vote of confidence in the person "ordained" to be the new PM.
