Debate 2.0 (LGE vs CSL): Is It Relevant?

The debate 2.0 titled "DAP & MCA: Whose Policies Benefit the Community Better?" is scheduled at this Sunday July 8.  But the question to ask is, is this another political show?  Or a constructive debate that could benefit the community?

At Federal level, it's BN vs PR.  BN policies are perceived to be UMNO policies, and PR policies are promoted via Buku Jingga.  MCA, being a component party of BN, do not have full say in BN policies.  MCA's stance does not necessary represent BN stance.  Similarly, DAP, a component party of PR, claimed to be the equal partner in PR, neither has full authority in deciding PR policy. 

At State level, it is supposed to be BN vs PR too.  However, for PR, it's more like PKR policies (for Selangor), PAS policies (for Kelantan & Kedah) and DAP policies (for Penang).  We can hardly see a uniformed Buku Jingga policies across all PR states.

Back to the debate title, whose policies benefit the community better,  is this title debatable?  I believe Federal & State government have authority in different areas, and some areas are non-overlapping.  MCA has participation records at Federal and State level, but not a MCA policies reference site; where DAP can only reference Penang at State level, but nothing to show at Federal level.   How can we expect a good factual debate when both debaters are debating with so much constraints.

My verdict is that Debate 2.0 will end up as DAP State Policies vs BN State Policies & MCA Promises; and PR Buku Jingga Policies and DAP Promises vs BN Federal Policies & MCA Promises.  What do we want again?  POLICIES and not PROMISES.
