Barisan and Pakatan leaders are believed to have entered a secret pact to ensure by-elections are held regularly for the "syiok" factor, MC Hammer News Agency reports.
This comes about after the Sibu and Hulu Selangor by-elections which thrilled the respective winners -- DAP won the former while MIC carried HS. In both cases, the seats were previously won by their opponents.
CAPTION: More ICU-class representatives, more chances of by-elections!
DAP's Lim Kit Siang, in his usual bombastic style, had proclaimed the Sibu by-election as "Battle of (the) Century". Having more by-elections will give him the chance to declare everything as being "of biblical proportions".
CAPTION: Doktor jangka setahun lagi `Goodbye'? Berpotensi sebagai calon pilihanraya umum ni!

Since the March 2008 General Elections, there had been a number of by-elections; mostly due to the death of the representative. And most were won by Pakatan. However, since Manek Urai - and despite losing - BN now see these by-elections as avenues to score a point or two against its opponents. In a win-win situation for both, so does Pakatan... and this is how the secret pact has come about.
They have agreed that a certain percentage of their candidates will be those with chronic health problems, and are not expected to live beyond two years. Priority will be given to those with at least three ailments, especially the HIV-chronic, high blood pressure and heart disease. BN and PR also promised that these candidates will be given safe seats.
