Party hopping might be necessary if no one has simple majority, says Dr M

KUALA LUMPUR: Party hopping might be necessary if no single coalition garners a simple majority after a general election to form a stable government, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (Pejuang-Langkawi).

He said if party hopping was totally banned, a strong government would not be formed and it could trigger another general election.
