 The GRC scheme seeks to ensure a multiracial Parliament and seeks to secure " the long @-@ term political stability of Singapore ... by ensuring that Parliament will always be multi @-@ racial and representative of our society , and ... by encouraging the practice of multi @-@ racial politics by all political parties " . It also encourages political parties to appeal to all races with moderate policies , and not to one race or another with chauvinist or extremist policies . Further , it has been suggested that the scheme puts a " premium on parties which can field credible teams " , thereby demonstrating that they are " fit not just to become MPs but to form the government " .
