从今天直到第15届大选，甚至在大选结果显示那个政党获胜以及那个联盟执政后，我们都将会每天看到主导著马来西亚政治体系的政党及政治联盟关于席位谈判的报导。一些读者甚至会认为，这犹如夜市集里讨价还价的买卖。
议席的谈判和商讨过程，一般是在幕后进行。但偶尔会有人为了党和领袖的利益，把谈判过程泄露给媒体，以营造有利他们的处境！
这已形成了自我国独立以来，由政治联盟驱动的政治体制的一部分，除了早期的成功外，这方式并没有为国人带来所期待的政治稳定，权力共享和更好的治理。更糟糕的是，这维护了意图改变马来西亚的黑势力，即以种族和宗教为根本的政党。
对遭受种族和宗教政治黑势力毒化的政治联盟体制，我们能期待怎样的变革？
这样的变革值得马来西亚人思考、期待和希望？
我们会否面对著同样的局面？第二次政治海啸会来吗？如果能掀起政治海啸，其会带来转型还是保持现状，或者是进一步，退两步。
我们必须认识到，政治的黑势力根深蒂固。这可追溯到很久以前政治历史，并渗透到我们生活的每一个层面。
对于马来西亚变革和改革运动的命运，我们可从世界其他地区经验吸取教训。毕竟，一燕不成夏，更别说春天了。当年，阿拉伯之春就是始于对腐败、威权主义的抗议，对经济停滞和贫困的不满，然而这些国家如今依然面对著相同局面，这无疑警示我们，改革前路依然漫长。
对我来说，历史证据是很清楚。当下的政党联盟政治体制，不管是早期联盟、国阵，甚至是民联，现在的国盟，或将在第15届大选后出现的任何执政联盟，都没有将马来西亚人团结起来。
所以问题关键在于——如何看待和超越第15届大选——我们是否愿意放弃政治联盟不管是自愿或非自愿，合作伙伴，大帐篷等方案，这些都使我们当选的议员，受制于党派的框架，进而加剧了种族和宗教分歧，也衍生出许多我们面临著的挑战——不管是在政治，或其他领域如经济和社会生活层面的。
所以，我们需要的不是基于种族或宗教利益而形成的新政治混合体，而把国家利益置于次要。
单一多元种族政党
马来西亚政党政治需要一个完全不同的方案。一个新的帐篷，包含将现有各党解散并建立一个全新组合，马来西亚唯一的多元种族政党。
然而，现有在野党能不能自行解散合并形成单一，真正的多元种族政党。公正党、行动党、诚信党和社会主义党，这些声称拥有多元种族平台的政党是否愿意联手民兴党、大马民主联合阵线和其他年轻政党，开启大马政治新篇章，共同建立一个单一的多元种族政党？
如果这可以成真，试想这将如何改变马来西亚的政治版图。这又会如何打破现有的种族和宗教政治的框架；又会如何催化年轻的马来西亚人，重启腐朽的政治体系。
为此，我们将需要2股光明力量来对抗和抗衡黑暗势力。
首先我们需要野党领袖如安华、沙菲益、拉菲兹、莫哈末沙布、林冠英、陆兆福、赛沙迪等，联合来自土团党和其他拒绝种族宗教政治的党派领袖，承诺打破充满歧视和分化国人的体制。
二是舆论压力。
如何走出损害了权力共享概念的政党联盟政府的局限和弊端。
如何调和在联合政府中日益占据优势的种族和宗教性政党。
如何在现有的政治联盟中，建立单一的多元种族政党？不管是执政党和反对党亦如此。
拯救马来西亚
在媒体层面——如何通过民众对是否支持一个统一、包容的多元种族政党的反应，来打造这个目标。让这个课题成为公众焦点，也将使其成为当前各政党的政治议程。
这些挑战在于如何超越第15届大选和党派竞争的喧嚣和噪音，席位分配问题、领袖人之间不和以及与其他联盟选举相关课题，并为我们的年轻一代带来马来西亚政治体系的变革。
要打造单一的多元种族政党，以往的假设、偏见和敌意都必须放在一边。
如果各政党的战略家都能看到这未来发展，并且打破常规，那么我们仍然有机会，把马来西亚从推向失败和进一步下滑的政治机会主义、种族和宗教的暴政中，拯救出来；这当中重新设定现有的政党联盟体制和政治，将是关键。
单一的多元种族政党一直是马来西亚政治发展中缺失的一块。第15届大选及大选后，提供一个纠正的开启机会，并将马来西亚人带往一个面向经济、技术和环境挑战的新时代。
林德宜《颠覆大马政治变革者》原文：Game Changer in Malaysia’s Politics
Today until GE15 and even after the results showing which party has won and which coalition will form the next government, we will be reading daily reports of the seat bargaining taking place among the component parties of the various coalitions and sub coalitions that currently dominate Malaysia’s political system. Some readers will think that they are watching what is going on in the pasar malam with all the haggling taking place.
The negotiations and bargaining go on largely behind the scenes. But they are occasionally leaked to the media so that they can be used for the advantage of the particular leaky party or leader!
All this action is part of the coalition driven political institutional system that has been found since independence and which, after an initial period of success, has not produced the political stability, power sharing and better governance that Malaysians are looking for. Worse, they have helped preserve the racially and religiously based parties which are responsible for the dark forces changing
Malaysia.
What can be the game changer or game changers to the dark forces of race and religious politics that have poisoned the coalition political system?
Malaysians continue to think and wonder and hope?
Will we see more of the same? Is a second tsunami coming? And if it comes will there be a transformation or will it be the status quo or perhaps, one step forward and two backwards.
We have to recognize that the dark forces have very deep roots. They go back a long way in our political history and have penetrated into every key aspect of life.
We have lessons from other parts of the world on the fate of movements for change and reform. One or two swallows does not make a summer or even spring.
What happened with the Arab spring which began as a protest against corruption, authoritarianism, economic stagnation and poverty and now is more of the same warns us of the long road ahead.
To me - the historical evidence is clear. This is that the coalition party system a la Alliance, Barisan
Nasional, even Pakatan and now Perikatan and whatever ruling coalition emerges after GE 15 has not worked in bringing Malaysians together.
So the question is - looking at and beyond GE 15 - can we give up coalitions of the willing and less willing, bed partners of convenience, big tent approaches, etc which have put our elected YBs into electoral party silos which have reinforced racial and religious divides and have also been responsible for many of the challenges that we face - in politics and other sectors of economic and social life.
What is needed is not the formation of new political hybrids and hydras based on racial or religious membership and interest and in which national interest has become secondary.
What is required is an entirely different approach to Malaysia’s party politics. A new tent inclusive approach composed of the present parties dissolving themselves and setting up a new, and for the first time in Malaysia, a single multiracial party.
Can the current opposition parties dissolve themselves and merge to bring about one single, one genuinely multiracial party.
Can PKR, DAP, Amanah, PSM as the longest lived parties all claiming to share a multiracial platform join forces with Warisan and Muda and other young parties to open a new page in Malaysian politics by establishing a single multiracial party?
If this can happen, think about how this can transform Malaysian politics.
How this can break up the racial and religious silos.
How this emergence of a single multiracial party can provide young Malaysians the catalyst for rebooting a decaying political system.
For this to happen we will need 2 forces of light to fight against and to counter the dark forces:
The first is leadership and statesmanship from Anwar, Shafie Apdal, Rafizi, Mat Sabu, Guan Eng,Loke, Syed Saddiq, and others from Bersatu and other parties that reject ethno-religious politics and are committed to breaking through the institutional frameworks of prejudice and divisiveness that have come with previous coalition parties.
The second is public pressure.
How to break away from the limitations and vices of coalition party governments which have debased the concept of power sharing
How to neutralise racial and religious based parties which have gained increasing ascendancy in the coalition governments of Malaysia. .
How to establish a single multiracial party to emerge from the present coalitions ? This applies to both the ruling and opposition parties.
And to the media - how to pursue this subject by getting feedback from ordinary Malaysians on whether they will support the establishment of a unified, inclusive multiracial party. Putting this out in the public limelight will enable the topic to also be part of the agenda of the present political parties.
The challenge is how to look beyond the noise and thunder of 15th GE and party rivalries, seat allocation issues, personality conflicts and other coalition election related issues and to break free and provide our younger generation with a game changer in the political system of Malaysia.
For a single multiracial party to emerge, conventional assumptions, prejudices and enmities must be put aside.
If the strategists in each party can see the potential, and work out of the box, there is still an opportunity to save the country from the tyranny of political opportunism, race and religion which has brought Malaysia to this failed and further falling stage; and in which the current configuration of coalition party system and politics has played a key role.
This single multiracial party has been the missing phase of development in Malaysian politics. GE15 and its aftermath can provide the opening to correct it, and move Malaysians to a new era dealing with economic, technological and environmental challenges.
