There were many reasons (for the proposal to scrap the 2007 polls). That is just one of them.

I respect his (Ramos) opinion but I am standing with the commission?s recommendation. He is entitled to his opinions but we should look at the substantive proposals.

Our electoral system may not be reformed at that time (2007). This would raise questions on the credibility of the elections.

If no one wants to use it, then scrap it.

There are plenty of reasons not to put up with the world as it is.

However, one can not say that it is a negative proposal.
