Will PAS join BN, should PR be given the mandate by rakyat to rule, but not setting up Islamic State?

Will PAS join BN, should PR be given the mandate by rakyat to rule,but not setting up Islamic State?

If the current political situation remains and BN does not bring about changes in its policies, ideologies and strategies, most probably BN will become opposition parties in the next general election.

So, if the change of government takes place and PR wins with a slim majority, it is highly likely that PAS will act as a kingmaker.

The current President of PAS Dato Sri Abdul Hadi Awang did mention in Harakah that PAS will not join the Cabinet if the majority of Cabinet Ministers are not Muslim and Islam nation is not set up.

Will PAS leave PR and join BN after the next general election, should PR be given the mandate to rule by the rakyat, but not setting up PAS version of Islamic State?It is opined that PAS will not join BN for the following reasons.

1)The grassroot members of PAS will not agree with PAS leadership to form the government with BN.

2)The grassroot members and UMNO supreme council will not allow PAS version of Islamic State to be set up.

3)The grudge between PAS and Umno is so deep that both parties will not co-operate. PAS trust DAP and PKR more.

4)What about the other component parties of BN?Do they support the PAS version of Islamic State that implements Hukum Hudud? Will Umno take the risks of separating with the other component parties of BN by forming government with PAS?

If PAS intends neither to form government with BN nor PR, it is possible that both PR and BN will form a unity government? Will PAS accept being marginalised?

So, for the reasons mentioned above,PAS will not break up with PR in these few decades, should PR be given the mandate to rule by the rakyat. PAS is given less option.
