Bersama. The transitory and proletarian crowd. Devil's advocate series 54.

1. I want to talk about what I see and believe to be the chink in Bersama's armour.

2. The leadership is already solid and it will be augmented by other reputables soon.

3. Within a few weeks, it's membership has grown to thousands. It grows further

4. Already it says it will contest all 56 seats in Johor. Very likely will do so also in N9 and melaka.

5. It will contest in other states as it will have 'convincing' numbers.

6. I have mixed feelings about its membership drive though

7. At the moment, as reported its membership drive relies primarily on voluntary applications

8. People send in their applications to HQ, they get processed and approved

9. That passive membership drive will attract the transitory crowd, mostly middle class impatient to transition into the elite class

10. Bersama risks becoming an elite grouping of the. BMW, Volvo and Vellfire driving crowd .

11. The values shaped will be middle class and. Bourgeois.

12. To counter the edifying effects which the middle class brings, Bersama has to go on an active membership drive.

13. Go to malls, pasar malam, shops, gathering places,solicit members

14. Bersama for all except the chair throwing crowd

15. Unless of course, Bersama wants to remain as an elitist grouping

16. If it chooses to be a broad based political organization, Bersama will become a formidable force

17. It's unwise to belittle Bersama for it's present small. In history more often, the smaller force defeats the bigger one

18. At the battle of Badr, 313 Muslim troops defeated thousand of unbelievers.

19. Whether we like Rafizi and Nik or not, Bersama is a threat to ALL old school political parties.
