Yesterday, we discussed the possibility and implications of a significant number of Sabah MPs crossing over to Pakatan Rakyat. Today, we want to discuss the process by which Pakatan could form the next government.

Let's assume for the sake of discussion that the ‘domino strategy’ adopted by Pakatan is effective in getting 40 or more MPs from Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia to cross over. How then will Pakatan seek to form the next government? Who will be prime minister? Finally, how will Barisan Nasional respond to such a scenario?
