Why civil society mattersI believe civil society is the real third force, not personality-driven politicians. Returning to Prof Spiegelhalter’s statement: I think civil society has not been engaging enough, and as a result, trustworthiness has eroded. Most importantly, what is our plan and our main goal in setting up civil society groups in the first place? It is time for a grand coalition and formal working relationships among relevant NGOs and civil society groups. Perhaps one day, in the future, I will be able to vote for a viable third force rooted in the civil society movement.
